Marketing Your Book on SmashWords - Get Published TV Episode #056

[tasceaie1493]

Smashwords is a Supercilious, joke with all of their stupid style guide rules that are geared to sift out the simpleminded, I suppose. MC is rude and difficult to work for.

I quit using Smashwords, since they don't have time to pay me and answer my questions ; won't even take the time to answer.

I miss these vids. I watched them on the home site though..hmmm, then again, you did cover all the bases. Sixty vids are allot.

Thank you so much for this video. I have been considering smashwords for the 2 books that I have written published. I tried to wade through the "how to" list from smashwords but it was confusing, I tried to email but they don't have an email address then I tried to call but there was no phone number available. It has been discouraging . Is there a chance you could do a step-by-step video that shows how to go from pdf format to getting my books to the readers?

@patripotts There is a really comprehensive and free how-to-guide written by Mark Coker available at the Smashwords site. I published my first book there on September 14th and the experience has been very emotionally rewarding. Good luck.

@patripotts Don't waste your time with Smashwords. They won't answer questions; they haven't paid me. Go find another distributor; there are others.
