How to reach 1,000 fans in 24 Hours I needed some cash. Fast. Isn’t that always the case? I remember reading a book when I was younger that talked about opportunity. Most people miss out for two main reasons. They don’t have enough time to pursue the opportunity because they are working a 40 hour a week job, have a family, etc. Or they don’t have the cash to make it happen. Time and money. Two things that are the main ingredients to building success. It should be easier to create both now. Take my book covers for example. I have a guy in Bangladesh that builds my book covers. I send him an order during the day on my time, and he wakes up and builds it on his time. He works while I sleep. I have the cover when I wake up the next day. I can do the same with ten other tasks. Reaching fans is another thing. A fan is someone who will go into their pocket and give you money for your product. Book promotion i...

365 thoughts. I have a thousand per day. Maybe more. A lot revolve around money. Or dinner. A lot more about marketing. And writing. I think about telling stories all the time. But can i write 365 thoughts as blog posts in one year? I published 85 in October. I got advice to put it out there. To share more and list ideas. I did. I made .30 cents. I don't think I found new readers. Nobody went to KU to read through a whole series.  Maybe that wasn't the point. Maybe the point isn't a lot of money.  Maybe the point is to practice. Practice makes permanent. When instated running long distance, the best days were five to nine mile runs. I did them after work. They would take an hour. Or an hour and a half. I had my loop picked out and distances mapped. I knew the playlist.  It wasn't easy. But it was good practice for longer runs on the weekend. Practice made permanent. ...

“Will you sign this for me?” My shields went up. “Are you a cop?” I joked. Mostly joked. I added a smile to make sure she knew it was a joke. She took a step back. Sometimes I forget my smile and snarl look almost alike. “I saw you on tv,” she said and held out a book. One of mine. “I got it on Amazon,” she explained. “I wanted your autograph.” My autograph?!? I barely kept from looking around to see if she was talking to someone more famous behind me. I saw this happen before. Not to me, of course. A lifetime ago, when I worked in LA, I hung out with Mark Wahlberg’s crew for a bit, which meant lunch with the artist formerly known as Markie Mark a couple of times. Women would ask for his autograph all the time. That made sense. He was famous. Not as much as he is now, but back then, he had a couple of movies under his belt and a hit or two. Plus they saw his Calvin’s. I didn’t even have Calvin’s.  ...

Someone asked me if I would autograph a book for them. At first I felt like looking around to see who they were talking about. Who me? But since the email was address to me, and it started out like a lot of Dear John letters, except this one said, Dear Chris, I thought there was a better than average chance they were asking me. Hmmm. I have always had a book tour planned out in the back of my mind, but a lot of my successful author friends tell me to just focus on the writing, and spend the gas/hotel money on getting better covers.   (Both of which I think is excellent advice.) But one writer told me she did something that I thought was neat. If someone wanted a signed book, she sent them to her FB page on Messenger and they worked it out there. Turns out, she was on to something because I responded to the email, and after making sure it was meant for me (it was!) we hooked up in FB and now, a signed copy of my book is on the way to her. Then I re...
