INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
You’re supposed to be making money as an author, not handing it over to scammers and rip-off artists!
Hands-down, the most infuriating part of being an indie author coach and advocate is hearing their heartbreaking stories of being ripped off and even outright scammed out of their hard-earned money! And you wouldn’t believe me if I told you how frequently I am the one who winds up telling an author that they fell for a vanity press deal, a scam, or completely unqualified service provider.
It feels WAY past time for me to talk to you about the most common ways indie authors are being taken advantage of and even taken to the cleaners on a daily basis. So, this week, I’m going to pull back the curtain and bring these scam artists and their evil deeds out into the light of day!
In this episode, I’m not just going to tell you the most prevalent scams and rip-off schemes dogging indie authors today, but I’m also going to teach you how to spot these buggers from a mile away, know how to avoid them in the future, and what to do if you think you might be about to lose your hard earned money to a rat!
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
· The 2 most common ways authors are taken advantage of
· The biggest players in the author scams arena
· Why so many authors fall for these traps
· How to spot scammers from a mile away
