    I hope this is satire instead of copywriting practice. If it is humour I do not appreciate it. You're taking somewhere that can we all give each other support and trying to make profit from it.

    Good job man! I remember what someone told me to do to get over anxiety with people. Enter random numbers into the phone and whoever you called you had to ask for a movie recommendation and I couldn't stop till I had five movies. Took me six calls and one woman I had trouble getting off the...

    BTW, I need to put that in perspective so no one thinks this is easy (it isn't, ask the people making the real money) I've spent $739.73 so far for under $200. I am still making my money back but most definitely in the red.

    I've slowed down on writing and been looking into marketing but I need to switch back soon. Still it's been a good few days of resting. Decided to follow @ctcrompton and see what my stats are this far so I can measure progress. US Store Only Jan 2014 = $19.68 Feb 2014 = $35.88 + $27.66 March...

    Do you have a mailing list for when this does become satire? If so PM it so me and I'll sign up.

    I'm in the exact opposite boat. My books are selling my freelancers 4:1 approx. I either need better freelancers or better niche selection but it's all learning. Now hurry up and fail faster so that you can become fastlane! :)

    So I got some good news and some bad news. The good: I broke the 100,000 kindle store paid. Woo! (Specifically I'm just below the 95,000 ranking) I did it with only four sales, one each day from release so it's not a best seller or anything BUT this book is priced at $9.99 so I'm making a...

    I only care about learning improved grammar. The market you may want to improve is that most people can learn to speak to 80% of a language within six months but that last 20% takes years. Unless you can improve that. Does that have a market? I have no idea. But teaching languages involves...

    I now have five books in one how-to series. All the back links are done in each and I've improved formatting in earlier ones. I want to write one more and then put them all into one big book that'll total over 100,000 words. One if going to be set as free from Sat - Wed which is exciting...

    Purely from memory but it helps that South Park is generally memorable in their approach to satire. :)

    I feel like the book is called "The Poop That Took a Pee" And the point the satire made is that people will read quality into anything and find deep subtext in the most banal of material which is why we should always publish everything no matter how imperfect the quality. You just never know...

    I can totally see those 'luscious boobs' already. Damn that's descriptive. Please just throw it up as satire and let me buy it. It sounds hilarious. I promise you at least 0.99 - 2.99 depending on length and how good the cover is. Seriously make the cover hilarious too.

    The point is a skill set that can let you print money. Like a copywriter that gets paid to sell a product, it takes years and years to be one of the best copywriters but once you get there you can write for anyone, including yourself and make so much. Also, just grab a cover, throw that book...

    I think this is a good idea, especially the first one I released because I had no idea what I was doing so I have an erotica cover for a romance novella, talk about mismatched. I'll give it a go soon. Thanks @Rainy_TX !

    That's what my full time job is right now. I work for a pretty big company, we took in $12,000 over the last four days for live coaching, which I personally sold, but let me tell you it is a hard industry too. Low barrier to entry and lots of guys wanting to make a name for themselves. Welcome...
