http://FullTimeAuthor.com/ Bob Baker reveals a shocking truth about self-published books and the book "industry" in general. Sure, there are some exceptions to this truth. But for the most part, once you realize this, it will set you free :-)

Recorded live at Borders in Creve Coeur, MO.

  • @FutureKnut I'm pretty sure it was a free jingle I found in Garage Band / iMovie on the Mac

  • Ironically, Borders is now out of business.

  • Book promotion is more difficult than book writing, IMHO. A good book on book promotion could be most helpful!!!

  • 1:15 books fall over in backround, 1:17 lady's face is, "WTF happened to those books?"

  • @RabbitDance Same question I've been considering ... I have a huge archive of poetry written for chidren during 25+ years teaching. The publishing world isn't really something I want to battle, so what I'm doing is printing my own collection (laser & good quality paper) and having it bound for passing on to my daughter and grandaughter. I did consider Lulu but there are several uploads in which past users' of that system recount their horror stories. There's more to life than chasing ink!

  • Great video. Very inspiring.

  • Insightful and Funny! Thanks for the laugh and God Bless You.

  • I just want to make one book for my cousins. Any advice?

  • yeah good point. I guess its the same with music. I dont care if its universal or sony. as long as its good im going to buy it.

    also i like how the lady in the back between 1:11 and 1:20 has no regard for books at all. Knocks them over...looks at them...decides not to fix them.....then has the nerve to go back to the shelf further on in the video and pick out another book...still not fixing them. shame on her! lol
