A fantastic post by Tara Sparling! Thank you so much to Winter Bayne for finding it!
In this post, I discussed the findings of a scientifically incontrovertible study (of myself) on the factors which influenced me when buying a self-published book.

It had a pretty graph…and dang you’re fast!
It was an awesome post and the other one on authors going indie was amazing as well! Thanks for those!

It’s crazy how publishing is changing! So smart that you’re doing both types of publishing!
What can I say, I got a plan 😉 Um, all I gotta do it make it happen somehow.

There’s more to the plan, but yes it is happening. On to phase three of my world domination strategy, er I mean publishing career!
LOL!!

I’m on it!…so true! I sort of knew that before though.
Yeah, it’s mostly stuff we know but it’s good to see validation.
