I’m part of the AMMO program, and since joining, I’ve sold $2,200 worth of books through my Shopify store and 103 books through Amazon for an additional $384. Jody J. Sperling is a long way away from a full-time author, and (yes, I’m referring to myself in the third person) he’s progressing toward the goal. If you’re a person who wants to achieve full-time author status, and you have a handful of...

With a last name like Sherrer, that sounds just like “sharer”, is it any surprise David and Lydia Sherrer are two of the most generous authors in the community? I’m telling you there are no two people like David and Lydia who do as much for the author community. Even after I hit stop on our recording, David and I discussed AMMO (Author Marketing Mastery through Optimization) for nearly another hou...

Hey, friends, we’ll keep it short for this special presentation. I’m so excited to have Xe Sands’s production of my audiobooks. I don’t have a limit to the number of free audiobooks I’ll give away, but I do have a hard rule on who will get the book(s) free. * You must commit to leave me a fair and honest review on Amazon, which means you need to have an Amazon account and have spent at least $50.0...

Can you imagine spending almost $300.00 on ads every single day? For perspective, that would be $109,500.00 spending on ads alone. Most people don’t earn that money in a year! Gordon Carroll is spending that kind of money to put his books in front of readers and he’s clearing high 5-figures every year doing that. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, if you spend $100,000+, you’re paying an...

Can you imagine having thousands of readers who snap up your newest book the day it hits “shelves”?

I questioned myself. Did I want to host an interview of my own self about my own book on my own podcast. In the end, I chose yes. Give a listed to Michelle Redo’s podcast, Daring to tell.

I am looking for a collaborator. The Luke In Time Mysteries keeps insisting I adapt it as a series of graphic novels. If you are an artist, or know an artist who would be interested in discussing this, I’d like to offer a 70/30 split. 70% going to the artist, and 30% coming back to me. Also, as quick reminder, my book, The 8Ball Magic of Suzie Q. second in the series and sequel to The 9Lives of Ma...

I’d like to confess, I began this tweet with an utter misconception of the size of things. To explain my misconception, I’ll take you back to my days in the oil fields of Vernal where we drove “Dodge 1-Tons”. It never occurred to me that the “1-ton” could refer to anything other than the vehicle’s weight. (Surprise, the “1-ton” refers to payload* capacity, meaning the truck can payload 1-ton objec...
