    Company Name [Poll]

    You know what I think would be helpful? A very brief description of your company and what it sells. In agreement with Bruh, these sounded a bit more like product names than potential company names.

    Since you asked for advice... Whatever you do, don't get involved except in the barest possible way to avoid offending her. But what people like this want (even nice ones) is for you to put forth all the expert and expertise, so they can "be entrepreneurs" and earn money. They don't consciously...

    Taking the Erotica Leap

    PUBLISHING 
    You're making some amazing progress, congrats! One thing about a mult-part book, I do think some readers wait to buy until the whole series is available. I'm betting your rank will just keep getting higher with every new offering. Can't wait to see!

    Have anyone read - The Star Principle : How it can make you rich

    BOOKS 
    Hmmm...It almost sounds like a way to maximize the slowlane path. If you're going to be on the slowlane, maybe that's not a bad approach to take all things considered. But I think your hitchhiker analogy is a good one.

    Crazy Option Deal - The Playboy

    REAL ESTATE 
    Wow, Interesting about the motivational speaker. It's amazing the kinds of things some people do when no one's looking. Also, interesting that he didn't make all the payments. Kinda makes you wonder if he's one of those gurus that make money from speaking, but not by living the concepts they're...

    Congrats on making the top 10,000 paid!!! I don't know what the general pattern is, but I will say that my "overnight success" book didn't peak in the rankings until maybe a month after launch -- so this might be only the beginning of a very nice trajectory for Wrangled!

    These numbers are nothing short of amazing! And new reviews, yay! Speaking of reviews, I wanted to share something I've heard over and over again. When you have an amazing free run, apparently, you "always" get several 1-star reviews. I mention this because I just saw your first 1-star review...

    Support of spouse/significant other?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I agree with this totally! Men aren't allowed to be masculine or protective anymore -- unless they're vampires, apparently. It's sad. If you get the door for a woman, you have to fear being called a pig. If you don't get the door, you risk the chance of being looked upon as rude. I live in the...

    Support of spouse/significant other?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    In general, I think it can be hard to have a Fastlane mentality when you're married to someone who doesn't think that way. It can be a really lonely place. Given the fact that, I dunno, maybe 5% of the population (maybe less) embraces the Fastlane concepts, the odds of two Fastlaners getting...

    Oh, wow!!!!!! That's some SERIOUSLY awesome numbers! Just think if even a fraction of them go on to buy Wrangled! And think of the potential for after Rustled comes off its free run! WOW, WOW, WOW!!!

    You know what just hit me? They say "previously" self published. That sounds like the book can't be available now. Hmmm... EDIT: What if I'm currently a member publishing with CreateSpace or Kindle Direct Publishing and self-publishing now? Subject to the Official Rules, you may enter provided...

    Oooh, it looks like she can! When I entered, I found some of the best information on their FAQ pages, and here's what they say this year. I have a Manuscript I'd like to enter and I still own the rights, but it was previously self-published. Can I enter? Subject to the Official Rules, you may...

    Great link, COSenior! Funny, I actually entered ABNA a few years ago. I vaguely recall placing somewhere in the top 100, but no further. The contest can be a real time sink, depending on how you approach it. But it can also be a terrific learning experience. There's a huge emphasis on the...

    Great post by HMWARD. "I turned down over a million bucks in trad deals, plus other tips for Indies"

    PUBLISHING 
    It sounds like she's outsourced a ton of it, but she can't outsource her writing voice. For someone as successful as H.M. Ward, she obviously has a unique voice, a certain way of crafting her stories and putting them into words. And even if there were another writer with the skill and style to...

    Probably, she could work zero hours for the rest of her life and still be very, very rich. I'm guessing she continues to work so hard because the iron is flaming hot, and it's in her best interest to keep striking.

    Wow, that's a GREAT post! (Edit: I've just got to add that it's telling that she works 80 hours a week, even while dealing with health issues. That's an awful lot of hard work and dedication to churn out book after book and keep her readers so highly engaged. Ahem, all this to say she obviously...

    Actually, if you decide to use the call to action, I think the one you have is great. I only mentioned it because none (at least none that I noticed) of the traditional publishers do this. And when I wrote my description, my goal was to make it look like a traditionally published book, so it...
