I missed this book when it was free, but when I saw the reviews, I opted to buy it. It was a good purchase. I am a writer beginning her career and as such I am reading a lot of books about writing. Not all of them ring true but Goins does and few have stated things so succinctly. You are a writer when you accept you are a writer. That is true. And when you are a writer you need to write. Alot.You can't escape the work.He says the pay isn't great. And I believe this to be true. Most authors are touting all the money that can be made writing.I don't believe everyone gets to earn big money.I think it takes a long time before you can make good money. That's just my take on it. He says don't write for the money, write because you love to write.He says platform is very important, and it should be based on relationships. Yes it's a numbers game, but it's your attitude and availability for others that makes you build a following. He goes into this subject and it makes sense.I think Goins knows what he's talking about because I see him everywhere. If he wasn't good, he wouldn't be in such demand. And he does what he says to do to build and maintain his platform.I say get the book. He makes sense and is practical. I can't say if it works, but it certainly rings true and makes sense. I'm glad I bought the book.
