$13.99 for a non-bestseller ebook ?? Somebody has flunked Capitalism 101: the going price for a self-published ebook is between 2 and 6 dollars. . . .

[Salgak]

And PDF ? Couldn’t even print to Epub or Kindle format ??

Tech fail as well. . .

[bray]

Go to Tate Publishing and purchase the Kindle or wait until the national release and get it and Barnes and Noble.

Buy the book and perhaps you can learn basic economics? Oh yeah, your far too cynical/cheap for that.

God Bless

[freedomfiter2]

I’ll give it a try.

[bray]

PS-Who said anything about an e-book? Go to Tate Publishing and the e-book is $13.99.

There are no pictures in this book to color so you may not like it, but boy you can use it. This book is Econ 511.

Some people on the net just love kicking other people’s dreams.

[bray]

Thanks fighter, I look forward to what you think.

[ealgeone]

Bray, what's your take on Tate Publishing? Quality? Editing process?

I have a book published through them also....The Sword and the Star: Temple Mount.

[Lurker]

I will check it out. Thanks.

[bray]

Very professional and if I understood the editing process it would have gone much smoother. Being I never have been published I wish I would have been more advanced at editing. I made it harder on them then it should have been and would have went quicker.

Overall, very impressed and they produced a beautiful product.

When is yours going to be released?

[bray]

Thanks Lurker, let me know what you think after you read it. The initial reads have been amazing. Had one guy call and say I had to be his first call in the morning to let me know what he thought. He was completely blown away.

[tx_eggman]

I made it harder on them then it should have been

Yeah, it probably needed some serious editing.

[varmintman]

Lastly this novel is about what would happen if you gave everything over to God and did not fear man. What if all that mattered was your relationship with Jesus Christ and you were willing to give everything to him knowing he has already given you more than you deserve?

In that case, your theoretical Republic of Texas would have at least one natural ally in the world...

Matt Drudge is calling Vladimir Putint the leader of the free world.

Pat Buchanan believes (as I do) that God is on Vladimir Putin's side:

The United States is still demographically a Christian nation but you'd never know it from observing our government. All you ever read about our government doing these days is supporting regimes which persecute Christians and Christianity, and then you ask whose side you think God might be on....

For that matter the BRIC alignment may be, for the time being, a bit less free than you'd want, but they are also free from any possibility of greens and Malthusians shutting down their economies. You might want to explore the possibility of a BRICT (final T for Texas) alingment...

Too funny, nice catch!

Beautifully said and well documented Varmint.

[Salgak]

Actually, I’m involved in e-publishing. The “sweet spot” to maximize sales revenue is between 2 dollars and 7 dollars a copy.

I’m QUITE aware of the issues and economics of the business.

You have a niche genre book, self-published in dead tree, that you’re trying to sell in the least-friendly format for an ebook (PDF). You could have easily ported it to .mobi for Kindle users, and .epub with free extensions to any major word processor. You could publish directly to Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and cut your publisher out of an unearned share of profits.

But you didn’t. You have, instead, virtually put up a sign on your porch, and done the marketing equivalent of peddling copies on one or two street corners.

If you actually want to SELL ebooks, perhaps you might want to check out the business advice of pros who write on the subject of publishing and e-publishing. Kristine Kathryn Rusch comes to mind, her blog is at:

http://kriswrites.com/

Or you might want to talk to Matt Bracken, aka Travis McGee here on FR.

I’m pointing off some fairly obvious mistakes that almost all new writers make.

[bray]

Well, my porch at braylog happens to have 10,000 visits per month and I am willing to see if God wants to put it places it is supposed to go. It just came out this week and I am willing to see where it goes. As for the niche, it has about 20 million in the niche and the timing couldn’t be better.

I didn’t have time for publishing and have very limited time for marketing. I think it will do well in Texas and has already gotten to some very well known people there and will see what they say.

I have a feeling you are wrong about everything since I have been in commodities for 25 years and that is exactly what this book is. It is just the only commodity out there like this novel with this amount of knowledge. There is none like it and the initial reception is what I expected, you have to pay to play.

What books have you written?

[Salgak]

So you have a moderately successful blog. Congratulations.

I have colleagues who get 10,000+ visits per DAY.

And I don’t write, I’m a full-time engineer and a part-time editor. Several of the books I’ve edited have gotten into the top ten on their genre on Amazon, and two have gotten into the top ten ebooks of the day. And one of the authors I edit has earned six figures in book profits in 2014 alone.

So, go right ahead, stay a big frog in a small pond. . .
