I have an X/Twitter account with 720 followers. Just can't seem to increase that. If I get a thousand followers I'm going to eat a Carolina Reaper hot pepper live on camera.

I've got a blog that I've actively maintained since 2004. It's racked up more than two million readers.

I don't do TikTok. I've posted a few videos of me offering commentary, on YouTube.

Some of my film work has been seen at Cannes and American Film Institute.

I've been published on a number of outlets including Western Journal, The Federalist, and American Thinker. But I don't know how much pull that would give me with an agent/publishing house.

I've been writing for most of my life. Unfortunately a significant portion of that life has been spent fending off manic depression. That disease has cost me a LOT, personally and professionally. It's something that gets considerable focus in my book.

If I knew how to increase my social media visibility, well... I would definitely be doing that. It seems so elusive though.

Yes, years ago. Well known agent. Writing again now that I’m retired and self-publishing. In many ways these days it’s the smarter way to go.

Sorry brother. I can’t help you with that. I get excited when three people respond to a FR post.

I did get 30,000,000 views of a video someone shot of me training a new product at a trade show though.

I didn’t know the guy was even filming me until friends started calling and telling me they saw me online.
