| Yes I advertise ONLY on the net.
But:
There are some colleges that are using my stuff.
My last college convert was Dr. West at LSU a couple of weeks ago.
I LIKE owning my books as opposed to a publisher owning them. I LIKE controlling if, when and HOW they are revised.
Someone wanted to BUY my copyright IF I made certain changes. (I'm too hardheaded for that.)
This is NOT a NEW idea.
Years ago most music methods were still owned by the authors and they were in charge of distribution. Selling your rights is the new idea.
Carlton MacBeth has still never sold his copyright to The Maggio Method.
FACT:
Paul Anka wrote the theme for the Tonight Show and KEPT the copyright. He got paid $200 in royalties every time the show aired.
Barry Manilow usually sold his rights. He got $500 TOTAL for the "You Deserve a Break Today" of McDonalds and "Like a Good Neighbor State Farm is there" jingles.
The smart thing is always to OWN your work. |
