I just take issue with everyone following the same script on E.A’s channel. If you pay attention you see the sell out stories they are all the same
You are basically saying anyone who finds a way to make money by selling and teaching something they are passionate about is a sellout. You sound like a rehash of punk rockers who sees a band get a contract and suddenly they are sellouts. It’s a pretty lame argument, my dude.
The smell of jealousy is strong in this thread.
hell yes it is.
I know right
That’s just basic gamer mentality: “Everyone who’s worse than me is a noob and everyone better than me is a cheater.” throws up
i have a question when i read shit like the arguments above the dudes feel so forced to put all those words out.
I’m getting really tired of this shit, since people just can’t learn to shut the fuck up.
Flagged.
Truly great posts on here get ignored because the person making them just dumps the info and assumes that in our information-saturated world, that the merit within will somehow make itself known. Everyone loses out when that happens, and the post author often feels discouraged and unsupported.
I actually posted advice about that before on here:
@C.Kendall actually honours his own work by making damn sure people know about it, and that’s no crime on here, this isn’t a monastery full of mystics scrambling over each other to be humble and abase their ego; so, if you (or anyone else) feel pushed aside by that, then up your own title game, and do what it actually takes to get your posts read.
As @Aprentiz says, getting the message across is what matters.
It’s called running a business. Good luck “hiding your light under a bushel” and trying to make a profit.
I deleted that post because it’s just going to derail this topic into arguments.
Their books do indeed sell out, then circulate for higher prices on the secondhand market. I fail to see why this is a problem for anyone, unless they think magicians should also be beggars.
Oh , best of luck for ur book man. Didn’t know u r into it ! If am not wrong, u will take the traditional route.
Also planning to self publish, let’s see how it goes. (. One in 100 self published authors make just 1000 USD in a year, not Easy )
What an awesome talk you had with EA
Thanks man
You had a change of attitude. You express yourself in a more mature and experienced manner. You have grown in magic and magic has grown in you.
I don’t know what it is but I am happy for you and wish you all the best.
Thank you
Are you selling on balg?
