Authority Through AuthorshipFebruary 10, 2026
Marketing gurus swear LinkedIn recommendations matter; no client has ever told me one brought them to me, and I never read anyone else's. They sit buried below where people scroll. Yet I still request and write them, because a complete…
Amazon & KDPFebruary 10, 2026
Derek Sivers just wanted to sell his band's CD, labels ignored him, scouts never showed, so he built a bare website with a shopping cart to do it himself. That throwaway became CD Baby, sold years later for millions. Airbnb,…
AlgorithmsFebruary 10, 2026
In 1973 they said it of television: the consumer is consumed, you are the product sold to the advertiser. Social media made it truer, because now the algorithm studies you before it sells you. Your feed is not reality; it…
How Ghostwriting WorksFebruary 10, 2026
Every book I write starts on Zoom, where I spend hours, sometimes weeks, drawing out a client's stories and voice before writing a single word. The interview quality sets the book's ceiling. After hundreds of these sessions, here is what…
