    Gaining twitter followers as an author

    PUBLISHING 
    Who's the target market? What movies they watch, what TV shows, what books the read? Go and search those on Twitter and start discussing those topics. Do not pitch at all at first, Twitter is not for pitching. It's to build up relationships. If you post cool comments, people will start...

    Misleading book title and cover?

    PUBLISHING 
    No need to bulk/cut do do clean bulk etc if you're paranoid about losing your abs. Pro bodybuilders are training for completely different reason then strength, so you can't even compare two types of training. Anyway, average doesn't train like them and doesn't look like them so don't use them as...

    Misleading book title and cover?

    Would you even listen to him yourself if you had to? I doubt it. He's trying, feedback says it's a bit early. I guarantee you the flack he could get in bodybuilding forums will be so bad and so harsh that it's crazy. I know few guys who are pro's in the industry, both are way more impressive in...

    Misleading book title and cover?

    PUBLISHING 
    Dude, you're still skinny. And you will get buttload of flack on bodybuilding forums for writing the book with that body... Seriously consider it. You're not an example yet to justify the book. Better gain a skill that can be sold, not write book about one passion you have..

    Misleading book title and cover?

    He's targeting different group of people...teens and <25 olds probably and that cover might work for them perfectly. It needs to be tested. It's easy to make the cover like you suggest and you don't need any balls to use it. It's safe, standard option.. Who knows bold approach might work best...

    Misleading book title and cover?

    PUBLISHING 
    Actually, I don't think this first book cover is that misleading.. Seeing words 'training routine' is clear that it's for training and being someone who works out, I get it. The gladiator fighting lion is a metaphor for strength which is also mentioned on the cover. Is it standard cover, not...

    Broker/Import-Export/Alibaba.com - Anyone tried?

    Cheers. Gave it a try after finding information by John Durham but it didn't work for me. Couldn't do 50 calls a day.. and after talking with some suppliers didn't like it in the end. Not my thing. But for someone with the right skillset, can be great stuff.

    You're probably not...why are you're posting it instead of doing it? Sure reading can become mental masturbation, but just-in-time learning is still crucial and is an investment in your biz so it IS 'doing', first part of it.

    Finish My Book and Publish

    PUBLISHING 
    My 2 cents (so take it as it is): It's honestly no different than saying 'Buy My Book'.. that's because there is no relationship building, no chats, no nothing, just a pitch (in whatever wording it's still pitch). It's also hard to get intrigued (for me) in 140 characters. It seems maybe like...

    Congratulations! About marketing. Why that Twitter experiment, did it work for someone? As a reader, I don't see value in seeing quotes in my stream. Maybe you'd just be better off spending that same time on a forum/group/blog where genre readers are talking already? That way you can build...

    Your Goal Is To INCREASE CPCs

    HOT! MINDSET 
    This shit blows my mind: Our profit margin is now too big (yep, I’ve been shot down for that as well!), so we double CPCs to get back to the previous CPA. Which will often quadruple volumes. (In case you didn’t spot that let me say it another way: Doubling our conversion rates can often...

    Kindle Unlimited... Authors in trouble?

    No way Spotify dies.. they can start signing some deals with Telecom companies to come to people's house in bundle etc and that would be huge eventually. The good thing for musicians is that at least the songs can be consumed billions of times literally. No one just listens to song once, good...

    That's the only real difference between extrovert and introvert, both are great at communicating and meeting people. We just get tired of it faster. That's why we start avoiding it a bit, and that's why it then feeds into bullshit myth of introverts being shy... no we're just protecting energy...

    Best introversion books I've read: Quiet by Susan Cain The Introvert Advantage by Marti Olsen Laney You don't need to become more extroverted, just to use introversion better. Like surfing, you don't run from waves, you catch them and ride them! Also might benefit even more by reading books...
