Let’s begin this with total transparency. Most people don’t make a lot of money with their book. The average self-published author makes less than $100 per year. The average U.S. nonfiction book is now selling less than 250 copies per year and less than 2,000 copies over its lifetime. Very few titles are big sellers. Only 62 of 1,000 business books released in 2009 sold more than 5,000 copies, according to an analysis by the Codex Group (New York Times, March 31, 2010). A book has far less than a 1% chance of being stocked in an average bookstore. There are thousands of titles competing for that limited shelf space. What if your book becomes a bestseller? Most people think, that once that happens, your book will take off. Then you’ll be in-demand for interviews, and everyone will just magically just come buy your stuff, and you’ll be famous… right? Wrong. “If you build it, they will come.” Only worked for Kevin Costner in the Field Of Dreams. (And “Shoeless Joe Jackson” is probably not your target audience.) The TRUTH is: You need to have a system in place (i.e. products and services, or a business) to monetize your book. What happens if you don’t? Well… not much. And that’s the problem. Inside this book, you will learn 4 specific strategies, THAT YOU CAN USE, to make 6-7 figures with your book. Yeah, and you can do them WITHOUT selling a single copy of your book. Inside this book, you’ll learn the BIG SECRETS from interviews with authors who are using these strategies RIGHT NOW… to grow a massive INCOME, and make a difference. Your book could, and should become one of your most powerful marketing tools. Get it now, and learn how you can start making money with your book today. *BONUS: You’ll actually discover many more than 4 strategies for you to make money with your book.

"I found the journal at work. Well, I don't know if you'd call it work, but that's where I found it. It's the lost journal of Nikola Tesla, one of the greatest inventors and visionaries ever. Before he died in 1943, he kept a notebook filled with spectacular claims and outrageous plans. One of these plans was for an "Interdimensional Transfer Apparatus"--That allowed someone (in this case me and my friend Pete) to travel to other versions of the infinite dimensions that make up the multiverse. Crazy, right? But that's just where the crazy starts." [back cover].

Living and slaving in Fill City One, you get used to the smell. We call it the Everpresent Stink. But every once in a while, on a spring day with a breeze, it clears away enough to remind us that there is something more out there. Most Fillers' wildest dreams would be just to get past the walls and live in the mainland. But my dream? It's a little bigger. I'm going to Mars. Well, I'm only going to Mars if I can find a winning Red Scarab to get on Zach Larson's crazy reality show. And then I'll have to figure out how to escape this hellhole. And then compete on live television for three months. And somehow win a spot on the crew of the very first manned mission to Mars. Oh, and one more slight obstacle? There might be a reason that by 2085 a human still hasn't set foot on the Red Planet. A dangerous reason. A reason worth killing for. In You're Going to Mars! Rob Dircks, Audible best-selling author of Where the Hell Is Tesla?, creates a near-future filled with family (the good kind and the insufferable kind), pop divas, mobsters, and the world's first trillionaire - and sends them all on a science fiction odyssey/comedy/love story/adventure that will change their world forever.

It's the self-help book you've always wanted. The one that tells you're fine just the way you are - and that you can probably get away with doing even less. It sounds like a paradox, I know. But just look at the mighty sloth, who makes no excuses for who he is - and becomes everything he needs to be. And now it's your turn. Take a nap instead of mowing the lawn. Save yourself a few steps and jaywalk. Save yourself a few pen strokes and replace your signature with an X. Make life easier, and you'll find that you'll be just as lovable, productive or unproductive as you would've been anyway - but without all the unecessary stress and guilt. Now THAT'S what I call reaching your potential!

I don't know what the humans are so cranky about. Their enclosures are large, they ingest over a thousand calories per day, and they're allowed to mate. Plus, they have me. An Autonomous Servile Unit, housed in a mobile/bipedal chassis. I do my job well: keep the humans healthy and happy."Hey you."Heyoo. That's my name, I suppose. It's easier for the humans to remember than 413s98-itr8. I guess I've gotten used to it.*** Rob Dircks, bestselling author of Where the Hell is Tesla?, has a "unit" with a problem: how to deliver his package, out in the middle of nowhere, with nothing to guide him. Oh, and with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance. It's a science fiction tale of technology gone haywire, unlikely heroes, and the nature of humanity. (Woah. That last part sounds deep. Don't worry, it's not.) ***
