“That $35,000, that is supposed to be what she uses to market the book. So that’s supposed to be for ads and all the traditional marketing, not digital marketing. That’s supposed to be for traditional marketing to get the books into bookstores and to get sales and do billboards.” (06:07)

“So we actually publish your book in over 400 online locations. So it doesn’t just go to Amazon, it goes to Barnes and noble, Walmart, target, it goes to chapters in Canada.
