  1. This is very good news: Self-published authors’ earnings are rising rapidly, but they still make less than traditionally published authors. While the median book-related income for self-published authors nearly doubled since 2013, rising to $1,951, they still earned 58 percent less than traditionally published authors. Among the authors surveyed who ranked in the top decile for book-related earnings, self-published authors earned 50 percent less with an annual median of $154,000. Like I said in another post my goal is $65,000 in a year of sales from this first book alone. But from this article I can see my next goal should be $154,000.
  2. Please provide this mounting evidence. From what the mainstream media showed there were no such incidents. I am aware of when in NYC the Proud Boys, a multi ethnic group, defended the Republican Club against Antifa and some of its members were arrested. I can provide documentation for that instance. That was before George Floyd’s death. In NYC and in Rochester there were no WSE to try to blame for the violence. Portland is a similar situation. Trump has no problem insulting anyone. He is an equal opportunity insult hurler. I believe your respond has been hypersensitivity. They have been saying the same type of things since he first got into office. They said he was walking in the halls of the White House mumbling to Andrew Jackson because he was worried about impeachment. I find this response condescending. There is nothing lowly by doing a line by line analysis. I have noticed that people have taken the approach of I will gush all over you with broad sweeping statements and then not be willing to look at the counterpoint. I am a Trump supporter. I believe that he has won the election. I believe that if he does get to decision to the House of Representatives he will remain POTUS. Also, what does being a writer have to do with our conversation? I don’t know what significance that holds? None this has any bearing on the positive impact of President Trump’s policy. And the statement actually is an affront to Black Republicans. I personally don’t care what Trump thinks. I care about what he signs. I care about The First Step Act. I care about the tax cuts and I care about energy independence. Racism and racial injustice won’t be solved over an 8 year term. But these aren’t American problems, they are human problems. This is what I was reminded of while listening to The Black Count. When I was a Communist and a registered Democrat I believed in a similar manner that you are expressing. But once I opened my mind to the possibility I could be wrong, I started seeing more similarities in attitudes and beliefs than differences. You choose to allow your antipathy towards Trump to flow over to me. That’s your choice and the feeling isn’t mutual. I don’t see your beliefs as your sum total. I do see that it as a liability.
  3. Here’s Hakim’s Bookthis one doesn’t require a fee. @Troy @Troy here’s Mocha
  4. @Lisa Washington @TroyI just discovered my book is available through bookshop. Also it looks like a lot of the shops on the list have changed there websites. Some have switched to bookshop.
  5. He thinks all Egyptians were Mamelukes or Ptolemy Greeks or Hyksos.
  6. You told me about Authors Republic in one of my post. But they are how audiobooks books are distributed to platforms like Libro.fm and more. I am trying to get Akoobooks to connect with the as a distribution point. I go through the list of bookstores and post the link so you can see the different consignment schemes.
  7. They have a higher cost if you need to make adjustments. I recently found somethings that I need to change but I am holding back. Also I like the other marketing tools which are available through other publishing. For audiobooks @Troyrecommendation for Authors Republic was great.
  8. I was a registered Democratic until 2016. You are making faulty claims and assertions. Try again my Roach .
  9. Here’s our first 2 episodes. http://daniellegfny.com/index.php/2020/11/30/countdown-2021-blastoff-2021/
  10. My felony hasn’t stopped me from either activity. Are you in Prison? Absolutely
  11. This Sunday is the big day tune into Instagram.com/Daniellegfny at 2 pm EST
  12. Having success and wealth isn’t callous. That belief comes from not recognizing all the people who were helped in the process of accumulating the fortune. Melodramatic most of them don’t have life sentences. Expectations should not diminish accomplishments. By not properly framing disappointments we miss the lessons and opportunities. I do over 90% of what I want to do and never has the situation you described occurred to me. Most police officers are polite and professional. But, your comment is understandable due to your love of crime and criminals. A better question is what are you going to do differently when you get out or what are you doing to prepare yourself not to return?
  13. Is believing that this is our liability.Their actions are not our liabilities. Because of lag time and failure to take advantage of opportunities.
  14. For the past few years I have been pointing out to people that when you hear the war cry “Tax The Rich “ you better hide your wallet. Back in 2012 this article proved my point https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2082385/We-1--You-need-34k-income-global-elite--half-worlds-richest-live-U-S.html This one of the reasons why I believe that we are living with paradigms that don’t describe our current conditions or positions. It’s because we are just repeating slogans and not really doing and inventory of our assets, we are being smothered by our liabilities. One of the biggest obstacles to our fully experiencing of potential is the idea we can’t do better because of outside forces. This is a result of the internalization of the omnipotence and omniscience attributed to White People. We have to demolish the myth of Whiteness in order for us to live freely and fully.
  15. Your lack of understanding is caused by your defense mechanism. You are calling my skepticism of the reaction to COVID a denial of the disease. They are two different things and can be mutually exclusive. You call my self interest Baseless. I find your opposition to Trump frivolous but that doesn’t make me think any less of you. For the record, my number one reason for Supporting Trump was to eliminate the Individual Mandate. He succeeded. I also benefited from his energy policy which resulted in lower gas prices. By increasing the supply and removing hurdles to the energy sector America has become energy Independant and a net exporter of Natural gas. This is meaningless to you because you don’t care how high your energy bills may go or Gas prices. Gas in a variable cost in one of my businesses. I choose not to play the pity game and focus on what I can do and impact. If that strains your brains,I can assure it may be contrarian, but not trolling. I pity your low self esteem.
  16. Happy Thanksgiving to you too. I have a lot to be thankful for. My return to the publishing industry. My continuation in the transportation industry. The opportunity to rebuild a stronger Republican Party.
  17. In other words you don’t have a solid counterpoint. You just reacted without thought.
  18. Oprah, Daymond, JayZ, I think there money came from Federal, Business, Educational, Consumer purchases. You are talking get rich quick. I am talking business principals. I can understand that you have difficulty accepting that people are and continue to be successful based on their efforts. Hawaiian. You are like the person who is given a map and refuses it because you think that you are better off without it.
  19. I am very excited to announce the first three sessions of Countdown To 2021 - Blastoff 2021 This series of joint Instagram Live session will feature different artists and illustrators showcasing their work and experiences. We are still open to including more people so DM me and we can give you more information. Here are our first three authors on the Instagram.com/Daniellegfny feed: This is the original invitation:
  20. I am talking about companies like BET, Johnson Publishing. I think City National was black bank that got bought out. I see clearly now that it’s out points of reference which are misaligned when we are speaking. I think of how Am@zon, Google and other major companies behave. You pointed to failures. I think of the Crowdfunding trend occurring. I think part of this difference could be reconciled through the use of the Cashflow quadrant as a reference to the types of things we are talking about. Most of the situations you talked about are on the Left. I am focusing on the Right. You implied that I might not love what I am doing. I am looking to make my project multigenerational and non-dependent upon me for it’s existence. For me I don’t see any glory or virtue in the struggle. The struggle is just a part of the process. I am looking at where in the process I am at and where I need to get to. I look to establishing systems while you are debating over how to deconstruct them.
  21. Please clarify what you seems to strike you as odd about my comments on slavery?
  22. When I joined this site I had sent emails to each of the companies on your list. As I visited their websites I saw more that two would be willing to carry books on consignment and asked for a fee. That’s only natural because of space limitations. One other thing can be explored is if they have started doing Zoom Conferences or Podcasts. I have noticed more indie books stores are on Instagram and you can reach out to them there.
  23. Since when did questions become troll like behavior? Is you don’t understand the point it’s simpler to ask questions thank attack the questioner. The point was that money by itself doesn’t improve conditions. Maybe it would have seem less provocative if I asked the well worn question “What happen to the money all those instant millionaires received from the lottery?” Same concept just different wording. Successful businesses usually sell out to the highest bidder or go public.
  24. What advancements were made by Blacks when they got the Pandemic Stimulus money?
