A few weeks back, I did my first Anti-Sell talk in a long while. It was for The Indie List, a freelance marketplace site in Ireland. I wanted to mention it and share it on here because it covered a lot of ground – not just what’s in the book, but also some stuff that only appears on this blog, and also I believe some other stuff that doesn’t appear in either.

One of the examples I gave was one of my…
UPDATE: Only joking! This has been an April Fools joke! See the bottom of the post for more info. Ladies and gentlemen, I am very excited to announce and unveil a new book I’ve started working on.
