Why might using your face to advertise your books be a good idea? I say allegedly, because these other projects keep coming up. And it's really interesting because the most reliable way I've discovered to improve my Amazon sales is to just advertise my direct sales. What are the benefits of selling direct? Steve: I do.

I have been blogging since 2008, year in, year out , and just always did, and then, I just thought, you know what, I'm going to let go of the blog. You see it all the time with TV shows and other creative projects that, it just goes from bad to worse and people are so attached, and they just can't let go. What is its projected value?

It's interesting because so many people start with those type of companies because I guess you're on Google, and they're the ones who are advertising usually. So when it came time for the third book, when I was finishing it up I did go back to her, and she was busy with some other projects. So what about things like advertising?

One business was a sure thing; the other was a side project. My side project was a blog: womeninbusiness.com.au.

Establish a personal blog.

Because actually, I never had it in my life plan to become a writer. I studied people who sell lots of books, which mostly are fiction writers, not nonfiction writers.

For example, a group of action-adventure thriller writers could get together and train a model with our work and then license it to other writers. They are like a jumpstart for your brain, a crazy co-writer, or co-creator. I’m up for that as I discussed with Charlene Putney on episode 660. So AI is not going away.

Before I start, I want to just mention a little personal project that I’m working on at the moment that I’m looking for a little bit of help on. If you’ve got a couple of moments, you can really help me to shape this little project that’s coming up. The reason I originally switched to Gmail in 2008 was this idea of filters.

He, you know, Darren hosted a group writing project and I didn’t know what this was but I thought ProBlogger’s a big site so if I can somehow maybe get a link or something on the site, that would do wonders for my blog. So I sat down and I kind of, you know, I hammered out a post in maybe an hour. And we kind of said “Okay, let’s do that.”
