Red Pill Relgion: "How To Publish and Sell Science Fiction in the 21st Century"

Last night I caught a fantastic episode of Red Pill Religion. Rather than what the title implies, this episode was all about how to make it as an independent author these days. The podcast episode is just under an hour, so it won't take up that much time; if you are at all serious about publishing your work and having it actually make you money then make the time to listen to it, and give it your full attention- you'll want to take notes.

If you've caught Nick Cole's appearance on Geek Gab where he talks about this topic, you'll likely have heard a lot of this before, but it is illustrative to see examples of his lessons in actions. Take particular note of those examples, and the tools used, because you'll want to avoid those pitfals- and using the tools will help you to do that.

Learn from the mistakes of others. You don't have the time to make them all yourself. That's how Nick Cole and Jason Anspach refined what they got from Chris Fox, and you're a fool to not take advantage of it. The same applies to other things that are the reality of the scene now. Sure, it may prick your ego some, but no one deluded their way to victory; they saw reality for what it was, sucked it up, adapted and overcame.
