  1. Ronald, I read your introduction to the book and it sounds interesting, but you can write the most interesting book in the world and unless someone knows about it then it will never get read.

    Most author’s books fail, not because they were bad, but because the authors did not know how to market.

    I have written many articles on promoting your books and I hope you will read them, but let me say that it is the toughest part of the writing process… the promotion.

    I have no idea about you getting a credit card? If you are looking to promote your book I would go to a professional and get ready to spend a little money or learn about social media and get ready to work your ass off.. In either way you have to put a lot of work into it and getting the word out is really about talking to everyone you can get to about your project.

    Also in your case, since your book is based on what you believe is an unraveling of our morality and positive social structures because of technology and modernization, you have to find like minded people that will help you put the word out. You really do need to leverage others to help you.

    Hope any of this helped.

    Good Luck

  2. I have written a book titled “Modernity Craze”. My biggest problems are getting the book reviewed, marketing and getting Credit Card. How do I get all the above problems I mentioned solved?
