Book Deals or Bullshit? Exposing the Vanity Press Scam

from my TRUE POSITION · host Jim Carr

Ever get that email saying, 'We want to offer you a book deal'? Yeah…bullshit. These aren't publishers—they're predators. They target business owners, shop leaders, and podcasters like you and me, flashing fake promises of instant authority while draining your wallet. In this episode, I rip the lid off the vanity press scam: how they work, how to spot the red flags, and what separates a real publisher from a snake-oil salesman in a suit. If you've ever been tempted to sign one of these "deals," you'll want to hear this first.
