    One Day As An Erotic Writer And I'm Already Popular - Why Can't It always Be This Way?

    MARKETING 
    Lol, this is a bit of a tongue-in-cheek rant. The other day I posted my first erotic story on a website, and I'm already one of the most popular writers on there. I mean, it's great, and it's nice to be noticed, but I wish I could bag this kind of success with my "normal" writing. Shit, if it...

    Excerpt from Shut Up Colin! - Out this summer. "Your future depends on your dreams, so go to sleep." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe The New York rapper Nasty Nas, famously declared, “I never sleep, coz sleep is the cousin of death.” While sleep’s familial relationship to death may well be a...

    AI Video Marketing Strategy: What's Your Favourite Tool?

    MARKETING 
    I am experimenting with using AI video tools to make marketing videos surrounding my books. I am using InVideo at the moment, both the semi and fully auto AI versions. To be clear, the semi AI version will create a voiceover from your script, but it's up to you to add the video clips. This...

    I Wrote A Book About Self-Sabotage and I Think I'm On To Something....

    BOOKS 
    I'm writing a book on how to arrest self-defeating behaviours (Shut up Colin, working title) and my reviews back from my editor and beta readers are pretty good so far. I did think I was onto something when I started but as usual I started to doubt myself. It's nice getting some validation, but...

    The Rise & Fall Of The Fake Guru

    ASSERTION 
    I thought this video summed it up nicely, it touches on how Tai Lopez started off his business career by scamming people before pretending to be hugely succesful. Times change but the guru stays the same, some loudmouth who shouts a lot and uses the term "brokie" or "alpha". Lopez, Lock, Tate...

    Who Is Smashing It On TikTok Right Now?

    MARKETING 
    I am surprised to see people from diverse sectors claiming to be successful on TikTok. My earlier perception of the platform was that it was mainly used by socially awkward kids with short attention spans, but I was wrong. So now I intend to use the platform to promote my books, as I have heard...

    Where Have All The Tech Customer Service Reps Gone? I'm In A World Of Pain.

    CHAT 
    I have spent 6 hours plus today trying to set up a simple mailing list and connect it to my website. For some reason (probably my own incompetence) I just can't get anything to work and unlike the old days, I can't just jump on a quick chat, which I'm sure would sort my problem out in minutes...

    To KDP Select Or Not - That Is The Question (for authorpreneurs)

    MARKETING 
    I am just about to do the soft launch of my book and I'll be mainly e-publishing it. I have looked at the pros and cons of joining the KDP Select program but I still can't work out if I should do it or not. I understand about getting access to the extra features, countdowns, discounts and...

    Anger Issues

    MINDSET 
    I have a quick temper, it's something I've been working on for a long time now, but at the moment I'm struggling. I'm trying to quit or at least cut down on smoking (marijuana), but it's the only thing that calms me when I feel myself flying into a rage. Maybe it's got something to do with my...

    GPT-3 Is A Coding Moron, is GPT-4 Any Better?

    IDEA 
    After spending some time with GPT I have come to understand its limitations. I've mainly been using it for character and place names for my books (also fairly reasonable at coming up with pen names), however recently I reignited my interest in coding (still have ideas burning a place in my...

    Turn Your Revenge List Into A Reward List

    How To Get The Best Feedback

    MARKETING 
    I have seen a few feedback posts on TFF recently and it set me thinking about how people usually do it wrong. Huh? Feedback is feedback isn't it? No, it isn't. Let's break it down, it's not rocket science, or (the much more complex) brain surgery, however it should be somewhat analysed and...

    Have You Used Betareader.io, Or Any Other Beta Reader Services?

    MARKETING 
    As any "authorpreneur" knows, getting people to read your book is tough, in fact, I actively try and put people off when they hear I'm writing a book and they offer to read it. Recently a friend literally begged me to let her read my novel claiming she was just about to go on holiday and needed...

    Make Reward The Effort: How To Motivate Yourself

    MINDSET 
    I have been following Professor Huberman for a short while, I've found his advice has been good for my attention problems. Anyway just wanted to share this snippet from his podcast, whereby he gives some pretty counterintuitive advice about motivation. Andrew Huberman is an American...

    Voluntary Slavery, Is This The Best Business Concept Ever?

    IDEA 
    I have just been made aware (by my 11 year old no less), of a business that utilises a labour force which pays it to work! We all (hopefully) agree that slavery is wrong, forcing someone to work for you for no money so that you may profit is immoral right? Well how about getting someone to work...

    UK Residents How Are You Dealing With Brexit?

    Recently I've been speaking with 3 friends who have been particularly screwed by Brexit: The first is in fashion and his supply and a portion of his customers are in mainland Europe and the extra taxes and tariffs are eating into his profits. The second is a musician who plays a lot in...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I'm trying to save up some cash to pay an editor and illustrator for my book, a lot of people have suggested I try copywriting. I'm browsing a few sites now like Contena and was wondering if anyone on here has used Contena or similar?

    Challenge: One Month To Make £5000 Or You Lose Everything - What Would You Do?

    Here's the challenge; You live in London, England, you have 30 days to make £5000 (circa $7500). You don't own very much, certainly not five grand's worth of stuff. You have no recent work history. You essentially just have your mind and the internet. Go! EDIT: I didn't quite state the...

    Got my first rejection letter, woohoo!

    EXECUTION 
    I started a progress thread on the inside about self publishing my books, however I simply can't afford to do it properly, in fact I can't even afford an insiders subscription at the moment. So rather than wait an indefinite amount of time, I decided to try and get a book deal, which in a lot of...
