CL106: Brian Meeks on mastering Amazon ads and self-publishing

Brian Meeks likes to tell a story. He is a US based author who writes mysteries, thrillers and science fiction as well as non-fiction titles about the business of being an Indie author. You'd never guess then that he hated writing until January 2nd, 2010. It was on that day that he wrote a blog piece which attracted within 24 hours a respectable 300 views and 25 positive comments. This provided the spark he needed and since then he's written over 1500 blog posts, 3 fiction books and 13 novels including his successful Henry Wood Detective Series. He also has a new book out with a former Creative Life podcast guest, Honoree Corder which is called 'The Prosperous Writer's Guide to Making More Money.
