  • Chris, just wanted to let you know that I’ve been following you since almost the beginning of your writing series and love and really appreciate what you’re doing. You are a God Sent to many of us wannabee Authors. I really can’t wait for your Plot Garden Book. I think it’s what I’ve been waiting for to not only propel the ideas that I have, but be able to blend them into a cohesive story line that will finally make it real. Thank you again for everything. Even if people don’t comment, don’t forget, a lot of us are still watching, listening, learning, and are very grateful to have you in our lives. Thank you, you are more of a blessing than you know.

    David B.

  • Hi Chris. Just looked up your website and I’m bookmarking it to sit down and watch your videos. I’ve written and self-published six books since 2008 and never really marketed them, so I’m trying to revive them now and see if I can’t finally stop cleaning houses and make an income at this. So far I’m averaging around $120-$180 (the last three months since I began doing some marketing).

    I’m curious to hear more about how ads are tweaked. Keywords are still this grand mystery to me and I am just beginning to toy with AMS and FB ads and not getting much traction. In any case, I think I might need to pick up the Six Figure book you have – although I know I am NOT willing to write a book a month. Heck, a book a year might be pushing it! I still have hopes I can eventually make this my full-time income. Living here in the Midwest, I can get away with a lot less. I used to live in SF, San Jose, etc. I moved to Kansas City 20 years ago and visit the West coast but don’t miss it – the Midwest is our best kept secret. Where else can you own a gorgeous 4,000 square foot 1899 Victorian on a half acre of land in the city and pay just $700 a month for the mortgage?!

    If I were able to earn a net $60k/year on my writing, I would be set. A girl can dream, right?!
