I know I am wasting my time by messaging these people at all. Honestly, I wish they would just learn from the group and do something real instead of post trash and soliciting direct messages and trying to sell fake/crap services.

LISTEN UP: In the world of book marketing, publishing, and self-publishing TRUST NO ONE who contacts you first. If you want to hire someone or work with a company, you should be contacting THEM, not the other way around. I'm looking forward to the new Authorpreneur Community where this nonsense is gone.

Let us know that you're here and how we can help. 1. Where are you from? 2. Are you publishing your first book? Or have you already published? 3. Are you struggling with anything? Where do you need help? 4. What's your favorite thing about self-publishing? I'll go first: 1. I'm living near Boston, MA but have also lived in Canada and Texas. 2. I first published in 2011 and have published over a dozen books since then. 3. I struggle with prioritizing all of the ideas that I have for books! HELP! 4.

I love being able to get my book into people's hands in low-cost creative ways (sometimes free). Your turn!
