Podcast Hosts: Please take a minute to watch this video.
First, let me thank you for watching that brief video. It is a call to all liberty minded podcasts. As a self-publisher, I will need as much help as possible to get the word out about the book, Concordia, There Must be a Better Way.
What is different about this book? The book is a political fiction about building a country from scratch. But unlike the social-democratic consensus, this book annihilates the State and statism in general. Throughout the story, the major issues of our day come up, like drug legalization, foreign intervention, taxes, healthcare, education, and personal responsibility. The heroes of the story address each problem with real-world liberty solutions. Even though the book is deeply political, the story is interesting and engaging. It is an entertaining tail that will keep your listeners turning the pages until the very end.
Who is the book for? The liberty movement is heavy on critiques of the State, but lacks on principled, real-world solutions. I wrote the book to help fill this gap. It is NOT an academic treatise, but a fun novel that engages adult readers in scenarios that challenge the state. The story helps people visualize libertarian solutions, like privatized police. Whether the reader is a hardcore ancap, a minarchist, or a blue-pilled conservative, the book is thought provoking and interesting. The only people that shouldn’t bother reading this book are politically correct, social-justice warriors. They will want to burn as many copies of the story as they can get their hands on.
What help is needed? When you have an opening, I would be honored to come on your podcast. I desperately need help getting the word out about this book. Its message is too important to ignore, and I’ve put too much work into publishing it for there to be no audience. Let’s get the word out and get the book into as many hands as possible.
What are the goals? I have several goals for marketing this book. They are:
- Reach 100 5-star reviews as quickly as possible. Amazon is a great marketplace, but regardless how good something is, if it has too many bad reviews or lacks reviews, then nobody will buy it.
- Make some extra cash. I’ve spent considerable time writing, rewriting, editing, and rewriting some more. But all of this effort would be in vain if I only break even. I’m hoping to sell at least 10,000 copies a year to help send my 3rd kid to private school. As much as I love the idea of home schooling, it just doesn’t work in my household. My wife and I have made extensive lifestyle sacrifices to afford tuition for our older two kids’ private school, but holy crap it burns a huge hole in our budget. Any money above breaking even will go directly towards tuition for my wonderful children.
- Change minds. Like so many in the liberty movement, I feel it is vital to expose as many people to our ideas as possible. This is especially true with foreign intervention. It is a goal of mine to reach as many socially conservative readers as possible to show them how terrible the US foreign policy has been. This story is sure to challenge long held beliefs that the US is the good guy.
Can I read the book first? Hell yes. I would be honored if you read the book first. If you like reading novels, especially political novels, then you’ll love this story. Send me your address on Twitter @1concordia, and I’ll send you a signed copy of the book. Of course, you can order it directly from Amazon and leave a review. If you take that option, I will happily reimburse you.
Do you offer kickbacks? Sure, let’s work something out. My day job is in software, so I can easily setup landing pages for each podcast and track associated sales.
How do I contact you? Twitter or email is the best.
