Are you tired of seeing the ads on social media, promising you immediate success, fame, and financial freedom if you just buy this one course, or this one book? So was I. After years of trying to get the bars on the graphs of my KDP sales dashboard to rise, I figured out a few things. So, I started researching; read a few books, took a few of those courses, and even bought a few of those programs for content creation, marketing, etc. What I found as I sifted through the information was the cold hard truth about indie marketing, and not one aspect of it is a fairy tale.

We instead are more like predators. Most leaders, politicians, lawyers, judges, CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, and entrepreneurs are psychopaths. Are you a psychopath?
