New Kramer Audio, How The Book Is Doing, and a Word Called "PASSION"

My deepest apologies for not blogging for a few days. I've been BURIED ALIVE.

By the way, I'm TRULY trying to push the blogs - and it would be so cool if some of you would share these. Just every now and again, drop it on social. It will really (effing) help.

This has been a bitter sweet project. In one regard, it's been absolutely THRILLING taking on something completely new, and it was absolutely awesome to actually write the book. The reason why I wrote the book isn't for money.

The reason I wrote the book was to pass on knowledge that I know, if in the hands of the right person, will change someone's life. Now, will it make everyone who reads it a millionaire? Well, no. Will it make everyone who reads it a voice pro? Well, no. I do, with complete conviction, believe 85% of the people who take my advice (in the book) can make a really fun side hustle that makes them extra money - up to being a millionaire.

If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't say it. I'm not that guy that would do that. This isn't a gimmick, and if you read the book, you will in the first chapter find out how hard this is, how much work you have to put in, and how much rejection you will have to shove down your gullet during this entire process. I make no bones about trial and error, being frustrated, etc.

The bitter is all the rules all these companies and websites have about content, graphics, and other technical horse sh*t. I have dealt with putting out fires on Amazon, Audible, ACX, Facebook, my own site, IngramSpark, Target, etc. The list goes on and on. Each entity has it's own weird specifications for everything. Getting an ad on Facebook was one of the most torturous things I've ever done in my whole life.

I'd rather someone slap me in the back with a sack full of rocks while calling me "Sweet Little Sissy Cakes" - for a solid hour - than to go through that unadulterated - pure HELL. I'd rather listen to a terrestrial radio station's morning show for the hour long commercial sets while sitting in a vat of boiling cat pee than to have to endure the absolute murderous torture . . . of dealing with META.

So how's the book doing?

In CAREER DEVELOPMENT on Amazon, I'm at #14.

Not setting the World on fire, but I'll take that any day of the week. I keep going back to you, the person that's never done voice over - and I'm feeling how you're going to feel when you start out. But I saw that this morning and it totally made my day. Each little win, you celebrate. Just like in VO, when you get that first demo done - oh man, that's awesome. When you get that first client, and you're talking back and forth about what they want - and you cannot believe you've manifested this thing, this idea, this business - where someone is going to pay you money to represent them, be part of their branding . . . once it starts, it's very addictive.

It's being carried in eBook distribution with some HUGE companies around the World. In Canada it just got listed on Indigo! HOW COOL!

We've gone Global!! Thanks Canada!

If you haven't gotten your copy - do so by clicking here.

I'm getting a lot of requests for autographed copies, and the only thing that makes sense is to offer them here on the site, so we can save the time of you getting it, shipping it to me, and then me shipping it back to you. I so appreciate that people want that, but I don't really get why you want my signature. I'm humbled by that. My office already looks like an Amazon shipping center.

I did some VO for a podcast and he sent me the video back - with my voice included and I just wanted to leave it here for you to see. This happens often when someone use your VO. They'll send you the final product - and it never never never gets old. It makes my life. I just hope I'm motivating some people to take the plunge so you can feel creative, take some stress away if you're having money issues, and to feel great about something you're doing - creating - building.
