Aloha Ben, thank you for your insights. I'm a bit confused. You don't agree with receiving referral fees to honor those who inspire others to buy books? You speak of taking responsibility. I take 100% responsibility for paying those who produce results.

Those who seek out publicists who have the best intensions? Great. Rock on. Spend your money of a bet. Roll the dice. See if you win.

I spend my money on results. The results - so far - has helped sell over 450,000 books so far. Why? Because I inspire those who buy my book - to recommend it to others. When their recommendation produces results, the least I can do is pay commissions. My sum total in commissions are a fraction of what Publicists require in their fees.

Good luck with you upcoming book. May it effortlessly reward you in many ways.
