I’ve actually gotten a few questions on the ethics of paid reviews in the past, so I wanted to try to tackle this one outright. Is there anything wrong with paying someone for their review? The answer is that it really depends… In one example, I had someone tell me about doing a book giveaway on Goodreads and basically paying for the advert in … Read More Paid Reviews: Moral and Ethical?

Hi Jim, I wrote a short story recently that I published on the KDP. A friend of mine in college wants to use my story as a script for a small film he’s going to do as a project for one of his classes and I’m kind of torn.

It’s hard, I want to maximize my profits while at the same time, not sticking it to the readers. It’s tough because I don’t know whether it’s better to mark it at a lower price to attract more sales or count on … Read More Self Publish Selling. When to Sell, When to Give Away?

.Hello readers! This is a follow up to my Spam Spring Cleaning. I know a lot of people get annoyed by these posts and just delete them while grumbling in the background, but I believe that this is the wrong approach. Instead, let us look at the hysterical, intellectually challenged, nature of them. Because what better to deal with spammers than to make fun of … Read More Spam Comment Summer Cleaning.
