I kept pushing my book everywhere with almost no results, until I stopped, refocused, and figured out who I was actually talking to. Once I dialed in the right audience, everything started moving again. If you’re feeling stuck, sometimes it’s not the effort, it’s the aim. Happy to share more if it helps.

IngramSpark asked me to buy a promo service that markets my book to libraries, bookstores, etc., for a few hundred dollars. Is this a good choice? Worth the price?

AI IS stealing some of our book sales ... but here's what matters!

I am in the process of self publishing. And I am applying things I have learned from the course and the book. And I think I have a pretty good hook. I am writing a book for baby boomers. They are not into Bitcoin, but they are heavily invested in the current decrepit financial system. They don't really understand how exposed they are to the next crash. And they need to start to move to a sane and honest system as soon as possible. There is urgency here. But I don't want to scare them to death either. Here is my hook/subtitle "How baby boomers can protect their wealth and retirement, and to actually thrive when the economy goes boom". What do you think? I believe strongly in this. Do you think this hooks?

Having watched the 2025 Summit, I’m gearing up for 2026 with a couple of book ideas. Previously for my websites I’ve used Wordpress with a hosting company plus my own domain names, they have been very successful, but have been attacked badly several times. I’m now prepared for the hassles again, however, what are your thoughts on using either Wordpress.com or Wordpress.org as alternatives? I’m sure ‘Mamma Bean’ will have authority on this, but I’m throwing it out to my NFAL Crew for comment. I’m wondering how these alternatives fit in with current SEO and searches, and whether or not my site would even be discovered at all. I intend to own a domain name with possible redirection to wherever needed. What do you think? Comment’s appreciated!
