If you don't promote yourself, who will? Sure, Britney Spears has people do it for her, but anything below that level, you do it yourself. Whether it's your book, CD or event. Nobody will do it for you.

Even when someone does promote you, it was you that got them to do it!

Get off your high horse and live in this world. The world where someone like James spends a couple of years of his life putting together a book about something he has a passion for and then gets it published not knowing he'll sell any. And then he spends his next couple of years arranging his life to try to get the book some attention and sales to justify it all. His book sells for $15 or so and he may get $2. It's a niche market which means there were likely only a few thousand printed and he'll have to work to get those sold. And in the end, he's worked countless hours on this and gotten pennies for it. Why?

Then some smart ass boob wants to criticize a guy who got off his ass and did something we all appreciate and is trying to make it a viable product. Hard work. That's what it is.

Stop playa hatin'.
