Customer Reviews
Incredibly helpful
I'm only a few episodes in and have already garnered so much useful information. I feel so much more focused and informed when it comes to launching. Can't recommend this podcast enough.
An absolute must for any serious indie
I have been listening to Tim's podcast for a month now whilst in parallel reading his first book Your First Thousand Copies. Tim is inspirational and it is obvious he knows what he is talking about. His delivery is impeccable. I cannot recommend this podcast enough.
Insidious tip of an aggressive hard-sell iceberg
A textbook case of no such thing as a free lunch. Tim Grahl is part of the expanding cloud of e-service vendors who circle the self-published e-book community. If this podcast seems useful at the surface, be under no illusion, it's a key part of his sales "funnel". If you cross the line and pass on your personal details, then don't buy into the extremely high-cost paid services, you will receive an auto-responder chain of increasingly insistent, rude and aggressive, entirely sales oriented emails. To coin another well worn trope, buyer beware.
