I'm trying to avoid it and keep this group FREE, but it's frustrating to have to constantly monitor disingenuous posts and replies. I've been doing this for long enough that I can tell when people are posting fake questions and answers just to try to engage with people and then try to privately sell them services that they don't need or want and that aren't even good. Honestly, if someone was unhappy with $1/year, I would REFUND THEM IN FULL. "You're not happy? Sure, here's your dollar back." But forcing people to get a credit card out would reduce the bad accounts to nearly ZERO. Thoughts? Ideas? Also, have you checked out the CLASSROOM section? I made all of those courses for you and you have free access to ALL OF THEM.

Authors, are your books not selling? Maybe your book is just bad. I dunno. If that's the case, I can't really help. But if your book is actually good and it's still not selling, then you have a marketing problem. And if you have a marketing problem, I can DEFINITELY help with that. So if you want to learn more about book marketing, come to my LIVE office hours today at 11 AM EST. I've sold hundreds of thousands of books and earned hundreds of thousands of dollars in royalties. And 11 AM EST, you can ask me anything, LIVE. Join Chris Green for an open Q&A session around all things related to book marketing and self-publishing. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82929705446?pwd=bXa92If9yvuhCbbbPvxrKKtqxbP9mD.1

I'm looking for feedback. Can you help me test something? I'm working on something that I'm calling a Free Book Page. I made a couple sample pages. Can you try them and let me know what you think? 1 - Evergreen Affiliate Marketing by @Nate McCallister : https://freebook.page/eam 2 - Rise of the Reader by @Nick Hutchison : https://freebook.page/rotr These are just test sites right now; they don't have Kindle ebooks attached yet. What is the purpose of these sites? Well, most customers would prefer to buy books directly on Amazon. But as an author, I want to collect their contact information. So before sending them to Amazon, I want to offer them a digital item like the ebook, PDF, sample chapter, or bonus chapter in exchange for their email. Then, send them directly to Amazon to buy the book. Make sense? If you're already an author, would you be interested in a landing page like these? Setting these pages up isn't difficult, but it's a lot of steps for a new author. Thanks for the help and feedback! Chris Green Skool Admin
