E-BOOKIN' BILL
I myself have never spent one dollar downloading an iTune. Nor have I ever read a book on a kindle. But that doesn't mean I'm unaware that a significant percentage of music purchasers don't buy cd's anymore - or that avid book readers similarly do not purchase actual hard copies of the books they read.
And so...with a little push from a commenter, I dove into the world of eBookin' last night and within an hour or two of reading and absorbing, had my first 276 page ebook formated and saved complete with a preface, table of contents, and the last 100 entries...all collated under the title "EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT ESCORTS...But Were Too Erect To Ask!"
It was (and is) just a dry run of course...kind of like taking the first learning step to creating a spiffy ad in photoshop. But I see the light at the end of the tunnel and I know I'll be bursting into a new frontier shortly.
Internet advisers stress the importance of a good cover but I'm not worried. I think I got that "covered" (couldn't resist) and plan on using one of the thousands of photos I've taken over the years as a full bleed with the title and author's name strategically placed so as to accentuate - rather than cover up - the gorgeous body parts which will no doubt catch the eye of the stiff horn dog interested in the subject.
Pursuant to this matter, you will notice that when you arrive at the bottom of the first page of this blog, there is no "older posts" button! It took me a lot longer to figure out how to delete that feature than it actually did to format my first eBook as it turns out. Regardless, the bottom line is...you can no longer access the 1300 entries on this blog. And that's because it's going to be for sale as an eBook at a nominal price in the near future.
I know some of y'all are gonna cry foul. But look at it this way: You've been getting all this information free-of-charge for more than 4 years now. And you still will! I have no plans to charge to access this site - just to access the archives. And if and when you do plunk down the few bucks required, the stuff will be organized and collated and thus, will make it much easier to find what you're looking for.
Reading the first table of contents was actually very satisfying. If nothing else, I think I write decent titles and the stream of hints at what lay inside looked enticing enough for a guy to spring for what a beer would cost at a bar to access the information contained therein.
So to sum up...yes, you'll still be getting your daily dose of douchebaggery from my shit-slinging self. But if you want to go back and check out the old posts? It's gonna cost ya the price of a beer. And I figure within a few months,. I'll have enough money to vacation in Jamaica or Nassau...because as we all know, the LIRR takes you there cheaply!

wow kudos for you for making the worlds fasted book.
ReplyDeleteselfishly I was hoping you would write something new, with new insight, dig a little deeper, perhaps even with slightly broader appeal than just the mongers. Anyways once you have that one published and get your deal it;s the 2nd book, like the 2nd album or 2nd movie that will show you doing your stuff. Everybody has one in em and it' seems like you already have that one out of the way. Anxious to read the next. The one you start to write tomorrow.
ps; also I'd be adverse to ordering a book with that title, how bout "50 shades of K" ?
Nice DB! I'll pick up a copy when it's out for sure...even though I've been a daily reader of your blog for about the last 3 years or so..lol Will it be available in hard/soft cover or srictly e-readers??
ReplyDeleteI don't see the point of actually going to the expense of printing hard copies unless I were to buy ads in print media - something which I hadn't planned. Mostly, it's all written - and voluminously at that. Whether the quality is there is open for debate. But the quantity? There's no denying that! Just 100 posts (of the 1300 or so - not to mention the 200 I lost) made for a 276 page e-book! Of course, any photo that was included in the middle section came through in the eBook so those would probably account for 50 of the 276 pages. I'm still thinking about how to chop it up, I could have one eBook of music stories...one of cab stories...one of escort stories...one of New York stories...and on and on.
DeleteI've read through a lot of these blog posts. First time trying to get an escort (Queens) and I'm looking for girls that do outcalls and CL has been proven rather fruitless.
ReplyDeleteAny tips? Suggestions? Sites I should visit?
Asian outcall is a gauntlet. You could try Red Ribbon but be firm about getting the right girl.
DeleteWould you happen to know the going rates for Red Ribbon? It'll save me a phone call haha.
DeleteThere is a saying: there are more writers than readers. Everyone think they are a writer, that they got something worth saying in a published format. Talk to anyone over 50 in NYC and they all got a story to tell you about their youth. The question is: what makes your life story so special?
ReplyDelete"Everyone THINK they are a writer?" I hope you don't think you're one! Actually, there's useful stuff in the archives and at the price I'm going to charge, it might be worth the expenditure. My life story doesn't have to be special - assuming the eBook is about my life story - which is assumption on your part. Go away. You have a fucked up attitude. That you're spending precious time on this site to belittle me speaks volumes - about you!
DeleteEveryone thinks they are a writer, unfortunately not everyone has a copy-editor, oh right they do, it's called their brain.
DeleteBill do you have any favorite comments from your readers over the years? Are there any that really made an impression on you?
ReplyDeleteThere have been a few and one that was really funny but it got lost in the backwash.
DeleteBill there was a comment that almost made me pee in my pants. If I remember it was the Top Five Reasons Why I wouldn't Marry a KMP Girl! That was some good stuff LOL.
DeleteThat's exactly the one I was thinking of. It was totally funny.
DeleteBill I highly suggest you get the book 'APE' by Guy Kawasaki. An excellent book on what it really takes to publish and make money with eBooks
ReplyDeleteLooks interesting!
DeleteI ain't mad at you for monetizing all that content , get money. And don't waste your cash printing anything if your eBook is successful the only "next step" to consider would be an audiobook which is easy bread too if you record it yourself.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! You most definitely should self-publish. Fucking awesome brother.
ReplyDeleteBill, I'm the commenter who suggested you think about self-publishing...really surprised, but glad you're pursuing this! And so quickly!
ReplyDeleteThe following link might be helpful to you. It is part of a blog by Barry Eisler, one of Amazon's most successful e-book authors, that has a lot of tips for writers pursuing e-publishing.
http://www.barryeisler.com/writers.php
Separately, I hope you will consider including all the comments in the e-books as well...there are some very interesting comments and it would be a shame to lose them, especially since you've taken away the abiility to read/search your old blogs.
Also, if you're planning on categorizing things, I hope things will be laid out in chronological order. Given the flow of talent that's gone through the KMP scene, I think the chronology of names/events adds to the context and lurid interests of the readers. All the best!
