Lately, I've seen some people online accuse me of being a "beega marketer", even a scammer and con artist, some shady predatory salesman out to corrupt people with my Eeeeevile books.
Well some of you are free to think that, but its a WRONG assumption.
It's wrong as in I don't define my profession as an online marketer. It's just something I do on the side to sell more of my products. End of story. Making your presence known and selling books because of it isn't a scam. It's just how business works. You shouldn't take me so seriously as a marketer or salesman. I only advertise because these days, good content alone won't sell your book. You have to "push" it, or advertise and market your book if you want people to purchase copies of it, which they obviously did
Anyway, marketing isn't even that big of a priority for me. Writing and drawing are, and they have been since early childhood. Creativity comes before selling and Business PR. Bottom Line. NOT the other way around.
The only reason I value marketing so much is because I don't want to starve or go out of business and be on the street some day. Doctor Coin sees it as being a lot more nefarious than that, but the honest answer is, all I'm really attempting to do is earn a living from the things I work the hardest on. I think one thing he misinterprets is the nature of my success, just because I use advertising and make money at it doesn't mean that's at the top of the list of what I'm trying to be. I was also an internet engineer for a long time, but that never paid. It helped a lot of people, and was one of my most successful areas, just not financially in the way advertising was.
Doctor Coin did get one theory right about me. I am nowhere near as well off as most of my observers just seem to think I am. My theory is the average person wants to think most celebrities are loaded and own big houses. Dr. Coin is right, I've got nowhere near as much money as people just seem to think I do. Not all celebrities are rich. Well, I'm speaking for myself here.
