Over the past couple weeks, I’ve asked industry experts a deep question when it comes to the direction of their self-publishing businesses. Should they choose passion or profits?
In a recent interview, with self-publishing expert Rob Archangel, I asked him what matters most, passion or profit? And, here’s what he had to say.

In case you missed it, this past weekend the entire indie author community was all lit up over one author’s recent actions and positioning.
The controversy revolves around the trademark registration of the word cocky by bestselling novelist Faleena Hopkins.
Faleena personally contacted most authors with her trademarked word in their title and requested a full cease and desist. She earned the title of trademark bully by quite a few indie authors.
The indie publishing community outcry was overwhelming and threads on social media included:
#cockygate
#byefaleena
#freecocky
Bestselling author & retired lawyer Kevin Kneupper stepped up when he heard about this controversy and was one of the first to file a petition for cancelation with the US Patent and Trademark Office.
That's what brings experienced intellectual property and patent lawyer, Kevin Kneupper to the channel. We're going to discuss the cocky trademark dispute, his petition for cancellation, what indie authors can do and so much more.

Have you published a paperback book on the Amazon-owned CreateSpace Publishing platform? Are you beginning to wonder if CreateSpace is shutting its doors?
Drop me your thoughts, I’d love to hear from you.
Not too long ago, we published a video on YouTube about the potential Death of CreateSpace. Many industry insiders worry over the potential closing of the Amazon subsidiary of CreateSpace.
Understandably so, considering the recent addition of print to the Kindle Direct Publishing platform. Sure, people were sweating the demise of CreateSpace out the gate.
But, now that KDP Print is slowly implementing changes and benefits that CreateSpace doesn’t offer, it has many indie authors wondering, should I move my CreateSpace book to KDP print?
That’s why I thought I’d kick you a handful of reason to move your Createspace book to KDP Print.
As per the usual disclaimer, though this list isn’t exhaustive, it’ll certainly get you guided to a more informed decision.
