    Yeah man, all people are morons and you're the only smart and enlightened one! Sound like you need an ego check.. If instead of being a Professional and a Leader you bitch about everyone else, good luck!

    So you hate people and then complain that they are morons? Wonder whose fault that really is.. maybe check your own attitude and how that impacts your relationships at work and life?

    Literary Agent in the Modern Sense?

    PUBLISHING 
    I used to be pretty much against those but as often happens in life, when a profession has a reputation, it isn't always truth. Some idiots bring bad name to good people. Agents might be the case. I think you can find a good agent who is up-to-date with the situation currently in the market and...

    MARKETING 
    Yup. Most likely. With people being so click-happy and short attention spans to move to the next thing, you have to have most important things dominant and most 'in their eyes' so that during those few precious seconds they have finished reading they would see what you need to show the most. Not...

    Email subscription offer shouldn't be at the bottom of a Bio. It should be one separate page right after they are finished and are loving the story. The page has to be one strong call-to-action. Might need to do a giveaway (short story or even a book that is selling etc), might not. But do not...

    The whole point of video would be to add something more than just product images in video. There should be founder talking about the product and clients, how it helps etc. Real video not slideshow. And not aware of anything similar yet.. There is something like that for animation (Pawtoons)...

    Jeez, so good discussions are only those that are hiney-slapping each other (YEAH, I AGREE!) and no other stuff? Just explained my POV a bit more.. Not belabouring it.

    Thing with surveys is as a biz owner you want to send them but as a customer you don't do most of them and they are just like 'not another one.. ugh.. no time'. I might fill out 1 in 10 of them and that's only for someone who's done a LOT of beneficial things (then you want to pay back..)...

    Surveys are annoying.. careful there.. Experiment with switching places at the back of the book for email list sign up and Book promo. You might be getting few sales but losing subscribers. Small tweak but important. Maybe it's better to just have email sign up and then one Book promo after...

    Selling ad space is good (I might buy ad here). But selling Warrior forum type shit in it is not cool when you preach 'real value'.. If calling out BS is garbage than yeah, I stir up garbage..

    Forum is doing so bad it needs to be sponsored by people selling shit?? For community preaching 'create real value' that is kind of hypocrite thing to do... If you need advertisers there are normal services that can buy ads.
