De smiler venligt ned til os fra plakaterne på landets lygtepæle - politikerne. Ved folketingsvalget genkender vi mange af dem, men når det gælder kommunalvalget, er det faktisk de færreste kandidater, vi ved, hvem er. I det hele taget er det, som om kommunalpolitik ikke helt kan bære sin egen vægt - underligt nok. For vi bor jo alle i en kommune, hvor de kommunalpolitiske prioriteringer påvirker alt, hvad der vedrører vores børn og unge, ældre, trafik, boligforhold og meget mere. Alt sammen vigtige og nære ting. I Udsyn i dag diskuterer vi sammen med lektor i statskundskab ved KU, Frederik Hjorth, hvad vores udbredte lokalpolitiske uvidenhed egentlig betyder for vores valg. Vært: Kaspar Colling Nielsen.

Salve!W dzisiejszym odcinku przenosimy się  do burzliwego III wieku przed naszą erą, aby zgłębić fundamenty jednego z bardziej decydujących konfliktów w historii starożytnego świata – I Wojny Punickiej. Zanurzymy się w historię Kartaginy i poznamy świat fenickiej potęgi morskiej i handlowej. Zrozumiemy unikalny system republikański Kartaginy, oparty na kupieckiej elicie, oraz jej zaawansowane strategie wojskowe, które uczyniły ją potężnym rywalem Rzymu. Odkryjemy również tajemnice Fenickiej potęgi i poznamy powody zaistnienia konfliktu z Rzymem. Z drugiej strony mamy Republikę Rzymską, gdzie zgłębimy sobie fascynujący system polityczny Rzymu, jego ekspansywną strategię i budowę potężnej machiny wojskowej. Dowiemy się, jak dyscyplina, organizacja i nieustępliwość kształtowały rzymską armię, przygotowując ją do dominacji.Zanim pierwsze okręty popłyną do bitwy, przyjrzymy sięsystemom wojskowym i politycznym, które definiowały oba państwa. Zrozumienie ich struktur, motywacji i celów jest kluczem do pojmowania skali i znaczenia nadchodzącego konfliktu.Odcinek przybliży również charakter działań wojennych tamtej epoki. Jakie taktyki stosowano? Jakie były kluczowe innowacje militarne? Jakie wyzwania niosło ze sobą prowadzenie wojen na lądzie i morzu w tamtych czasach?Przygotujcie się na fascynujący wstęp, który rozjaśnikontekst historyczny i przedstawi strony konfliktu, zanim rozpocznie się legendarna I Wojna Punicka!Oczywiście nie zabraknie ciekawostek przyrodniczych!Andiamo!Biosite — echorzymu: ⁠⁠https://bio.site/echorzymu ⁠A jeśli chcecie wesprzeć rozwój kanału,możecie dorzucić symboliczną kawę na Buycoffee – Wasze wsparcie pomaga w zakupie książek, dostępie do artykułów i ulepszaniu sprzętu.☕

In May 2007, a man in the suburb of Kuřim adjusted his baby monitor and accidentally stumbled onto one of the most disturbing discoveries in Czech criminal history. His device had intercepted a live feed showing a small boy imprisoned in a filthy, windowless space next door. What began as a simple technological glitch quickly unraveled into a case involving false identities, ritualistic control, severe child abuse, and a woman who was nothing like the person she pretended to be.

   There's a shocking piece of journalism at the Daily Caller website as we have learned the Chinese own a 27 acre trailer park that shares a fence with Whiteman Air Force base in Missouri.  Are you kidding me?  This is a huge story and even bigger problem.    Kansas Senator Roger Marshall says he and the GOP will have a new health care plan by Christmas.  Spoiler alert, it also sounds like a big government handout.    Speaking of handouts, a journalist in Ukraine has found stacks and stacks of unsealed, stolen cash from the Kansas City Federal Reserve.  Zelensky is literally stealing from us, we explain how.    Elon Musk sums up the sad state of affairs of taxation in America in one brilliant post.  Pat McAfee gets President Trump on his show and then tries to apologize to liberal media for it.  Lame.   Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe didn't take long to respond to our report that the Chiefs are talking to NASCAR and the state of Kansas regarding land acquisition at the speedway.  Kehoe says he can put a fabric roof on cables above Arrowhead and the Chiefs have no comment.    KU star Darryn Peterson has officially turned the Jayhawks into an NBA team.  He makes millions, he takes games off when he doesn't want to play and they are coming to T-Mobile Center in KC.  We finally have an NBA team!    And our Final Final is a pair of sexy bridesmaids.

   The Kansas City Chiefs are currently in negotiations with NASCAR and the state of Kansas to acquire land just west of Kansas Speedway for a potential new domed stadium.     Multiple sources confirm with KKHI that a land acquisition agreement is the final piece the Chiefs need in place to make a decision on whether to build a new stadium or renovate Arrowhead again.  We have all the details of what is a very high level, high stakes negotiation.     Then, some good and some bad in the NFL on Sunday for the Chiefs playoff picture.  Trump has quite a day at the Lions/Commanders game.

In this week's episode, I take a look at my direct sales for 2025, and consider six lessons for improving direct sales. I also answer a reader question about Kobo Plus. This coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Shield of Battle, Book #5 in The Shield War series, (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills) at my Payhip store: SHIELD2025 The coupon code is valid through November 17, 2025. So if you need a new audiobook this fall, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 276 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is November 7, 2025, and today we are discussing how I had a 300% increase in direct sales for 2025 so far, and the challenges that might pose. We'll also have Coupon of the Week, an update on my current writing progress, and a reader question about Kobo Plus. First up is Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Shield of Battle, Book #5 in The Shield War series (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills) at my Payhip store, which seems appropriate because we're talking about direct sales. That coupon code is SHIELD2025 and as always, links to my store and the coupon code will be in the show notes for this episode. This coupon code is valid through November 17th 2025. So if you need a new audiobook for this fall, we have got you covered. Now for an update on my current writing progress. As of this recording, I am 70,000 words [into] Blade of Shadows, the second book in my Blades of Ruin epic fantasy series. That puts me on chapter 16 of 20, so I'm about three quarters of the way through. I think the rough draft is going to land at about 85 to 90,000 words. So if all goes well, I'm hoping to finish that rough draft next week and hopefully get the book out before Thanksgiving, but we'll see how the rest of this month goes. I'm also 8,000 words into Wizard-Assassin, which will be the fifth book of my Half-Elven Thief series. If all goes well, I want to have that out in December, which will make it the final book I publish in 2025. In audiobook news, Brad Wills is working on recording Blade of Flames, the previous book in the Blades of Ruin series and good progress is being made there. And Hollis McCarthy is also working on the audiobook of Cloak of Embers, which was Book 10 in the Cloak Mage series. So if all goes well, we should have both of those audiobooks to you before the end of the year. So that is where I'm at with my current writing and publishing and audiobook projects. 00:02:00 Thoughts on Kobo Plus Let's talk a little bit about Kobo Plus before we move on to our main topic. A reader recently asked if I made more money from sales on Kobo from direct sales on the Kobo platform or through Kobo Plus, which is Kobo's subscription service. And the answer is, well, it depends. My primary answer always is that readers should read my books on whatever platform they prefer and which is most convenient for them (with the exception of piracy). As for the specific details, it gets a little bit more complicated. I suspect at this point more Kobo readers use Kobo Plus than actually buy ebooks off Kobo. Like in September alone (which is the last month I have complete figures for), 75% of my Kobo revenue came from Kobo Plus. So very clearly not having my books in Kobo Plus is a non-starter of an idea. That said, Kobo Plus (unlike Kindle Unlimited) runs off minutes read rather than pages read that KU uses, which makes it a lot harder to game the way some people do with Kindle Unlimited because the system is more opaque. So obviously longer books do a lot better with Kobo Plus and I have a lot of longer books in the form of various omnibus editions. Even a fast reader is going to take a while to get through Frostborn: Omnibus One, so I know for a fact those do quite well on Kobo Plus. So I suspect with individual novels I make less with Kobo Plus than I do with ebook sales, but for the omnibus editions, I make more from Kobo Plus than I do with the individual sales. Overall, I would say if you're a Kobo user and you want to read a book just once, Kobo Plus is probably the economical choice, but if you want to reread the book many times, you're better off buying it outright. For an interesting bit of data, here are my 10 most read Kobo Plus books for 2025 so far. Thanks for reading them, everyone! 1.) Shield of Deception 2.) Cloak Mage Omnibus One 3.) Shield of Battle 4.) Ghost in the Assembly. 5.) Cloak of Illusion 6.) Ghost in the Corruption 7.) Cloak of Embers 8.) Dragontiarna Omnibus One 9.) Dragonskull Omnibus One 10.) Cloak of Masks So as you can see, there were three different omnibus editions in that Top 10 list, so those do quite well on Kobo Plus. 00:04:00 Main Topic: Six Lessons Learned from a 300% Increase in Direct Sales Now onto our main topic, six lessons learned from a 300% increase in direct sales for 2025. By means of some background, in 2021 I started a direct sales site for my books and audiobooks using the Payhip platform. I'd been thinking about this for some time and the instigation was that at the time I was about to publish Ghost in the Vision. The Barnes and Noble site had problems with a ransomware attack that made it impossible to upload new books to the Barnes and Noble site for about three weeks (if I remember correctly). And obviously this was concerning because I had Ghost in the Vision coming out during that time and I wanted to be able to get it to Barnes and Noble readers, but I couldn't because the Barnes and Noble site was having technical difficulties. So that's when I started using Payhip and mentioned that hey, Barnes and Noble readers, I know I can't upload it to the Barnes Noble site right now, but you can get it from Payhip and obviously Barnes Noble restored the website and I was able to upload a book again, but I kept going with the Payhip site. Why did I do that? Well, as I've said before for direct sales, it makes sense for me to have a place that I could fully control since (barring technical difficulties that we talked about) the main ebook platforms can take a day or two before the books are ready to be sold. And as we mentioned before, sometimes oddities happen and a book can get delisted on a site like Amazon or a site could suffer a cybercrime attack like Barnes and Noble did in 2021. Direct sales also give authors a greater percentage of the profits, especially for audiobooks. The highest rate of royalty I get for any audiobook sales is definitely through direct sales. Progress was slow for getting people to use the Payhip site for obvious reasons. People are locked into the platforms where they feel the most comfortable (the Kindle Library, for example). It takes a lot to get people to change their buying behaviors, but over the last year, I've seen a 300% increase in sales at my Payhip store over what I had made in 2024. And there are six reasons why I think that happened that I'd like to share with you in this week's episode. #1: The first reason is it gives people an alternative. For a variety of reasons, many people are frustrated with Amazon or Google and the other big tech companies and are boycotting them for a number of reasons. If you've paid attention to the news at all over the last five years, you can probably guess what a few of those reasons might be. Others are concerned with the amount of tracking data on these sites and having their browsing data sold as advertising info. Having a direct sales platform gives readers who have these concerns a way to support you. Payhip is great for those with privacy concerns because it provides us with very, very little user data and there's no way to put ads on the site or even sell ad space there. The only customer data I get from a transaction through Payhip is the email address, which is obviously necessary since there needs to be a place to send the ebooks and the audiobooks. I don't sell or share that data with other companies or even other authors, so that is a good way to buy my books while leaving a minimal data footprint that can't be used for any kind of tracking. #2: The second reason and one that I think is about 50% of the sales growth this year, is new releases. And that is because my Payhip site is always the first place to find any of my new releases since I have complete control over the uploads there. How fast books appear on other sites is out of my control and can sometimes take a day or two (or in extreme cases, even longer than that). But I have complete control on Payhip of upload time (so long as Payhip is working and my internet connection is working). Consistently having the new releases available on my Payhip site right away also makes people feel like they're not missing out by shopping there. Having someone to help me with my Payhip store has made that a lot easier to do that consistently over the past couple of years. I did hire someone to help me out with that and it's been light years forward in having all my ebooks and audiobooks available on the Payhip store. #3: Number three, which I think is the other 50% of the reason I had a direct sales increase this year, is Coupon of the Week, which we already listened to on this episode. Coupon of the Week only takes about a minute to set up, but it has been an effective way to get people to buy ebooks and audiobooks at my Payhip site. The discount amounts I use means I'm still getting paid roughly the same amount that I would from a sale on Audible or Amazon, but the reader is getting a pretty substantial discount. Discount amounts are usually 25% off for an ebook or 50% off for an audiobook. It's enough of a discount to make it worthwhile for my readers. I've also been experimenting with discounting entire series in a Coupon of the Week instead of only one book. This change has been good for sales. It lets readers stock up on a whole series for a fraction of the price. That kind of whole series discount is also a good response to (only a few) readers who want omnibus editions that cover every single book in the series, which frankly isn't profitable to me for a couple of reasons. One is that if it's on Amazon, a file that size would incur a significant delivery fee from Amazon, which would cut into the profits. Another reason is that the file size for that just gets to be unwieldy. Frostborn is 15 books and 15 fairly long novels combined into a single ebook file does get pretty unwieldy. #4: The fourth reason and one that has consistently been helpful is the free short stories. Switching ebook platforms is a big change for many readers and it's best to give them a good incentive to do that. The old saying that it's easier to draw someone in with a carrot instead of a stick is true in ebook sales, as is in every other facet of life. Free items are a low-pressure way for someone to try out the site and test out the experience of downloading a book through my direct sales page. Direct sales pages are the best way to have control of free content that you're giving out to readers since price changes on other sites can vary wildly in when they occur, which makes setting up promotions very difficult if you're not sure when the price change will be live on all platforms. It's also a lot easier than what people used to do in the early 2010s for this kind of thing, which is directly email ebook files to readers, whereas having them nicely delivered through Payhip and then the Book Funnel backend is much more convenient. Coupon codes can be too much of a hassle for some readers, and setting up coupon codes on multiple platforms is definitely a massive hassle and can't be done on some platforms as frequently as I would like, so giving away free short stories via Payhip is an effective use. #5: The fifth reason is my direct sales page [content] is DRM free. This winter, Amazon removed the option to download and transfer Kindle books via USB for any books purchased through Amazon, which created a stir on social media even though most readers weren't using the feature and weren't even aware that it existed. What the outrage over the change did was make many people aware that they weren't truly owners of the content they bought from Amazon. It might be your instinct as a writer to put DRM in your ebooks and audiobooks in the belief that doing so prevents piracy. As anyone in the music industry can tell you, people will always find a way around DRM. All it does is punish the honest people who are supporting you by buying your content legally and making it more difficult for them to use in the ways to make the most sense to them. Selling books without DRM gives people a chance to truly own the content and archive it the way that works best for them. Everything on my Payhip store is DRM free for those reasons. Because the books can be downloaded and stored without restrictions, they can't be removed from your collection like a book in a Kindle Library can. A book purchased from Payhip is one that you can truly and completely own. #6: The sixth reason that has been helpful I think is honestly simple patience. Direct selling ebooks is a lot harder than just putting them on Amazon because Amazon is very well optimized for getting people to buy things and direct sales are often not. The very first year I did direct sales in 2021, by the end of the year I made a grand total of $10. This year I am probably going to make high three figures (if all goes well), which still is not a lot compared to some of the sales people can report off platforms like Amazon. But if you go from $10 in 2021 to high three figures in 2025, that is quite a growth trajectory. So again, if you were to start using direct sales, be patient and bear in mind it might take a long time of using things like free short stories and Coupon of the Week to gradually build up interest in the site. I also want to talk a little bit about what I think will be future challenges with direct sales and a big one that will happen if my direct sales continue to grow at this rate will be US sales tax. In 2018, the US Supreme Court ruled that states can charge sales tax for any purchases online. Previously they had not been able to do so and the law has been changed and challenged and tweaked a little bit since then, but it's boiled down to that for most of the states (it varies by states, and this is not legal advice), the rule is if you are selling more than $100,000 worth of product in their state or more than 200 individual transactions in that state, then you're obliged to pay sales tax on those sales to that individual US state. For me, obviously that is not a problem right now. I believe as of this recording, I have had a total of 95 individual transactions for direct sales. If you divide that out among the 50 US states and UK and several EU countries, I'm nowhere near the reporting thresholds for any individual US state, even the most restrictive ones. That said, it could happen if direct sales continue to grow, that will be a problem I need to address in the future. Payhip collects a VAT for EU countries, but it doesn't do any sales tax collecting for the US. So if my direct sales continue to grow to the point where I'm hitting sales tax thresholds for the individual states, I would probably have to change platforms from Payhip to something like Shopify where there are a number of plugins on Shopify (like Tax Jar for example) that will take care of the sales tax reporting and filing and paying for you. But that is obviously not a problem right now unless my direct sales grow a good bit. But that is something to keep in mind for future endeavors. So in conclusion, Payhip has been a growing source of income for me (although still far from my primary one) because of these strategies. Payhip has been a great platform for direct sales and has given my readers another choice in where to buy my books and audiobooks. And as always, I would like to thank everyone who has bought and read my books from either Payhip or any other platform. And even though I have this direct sales platform, a reminder that my preferred answer to the question "where should I get your books?" is "wherever is most convenient for you" (with the exception of piracy, of course). So that is it for this week. Thank you for listening to The Pulp Writer Show. I hope you found the show useful.

      Former Vice President Dick Cheney has died at the age of 84.  Yes, he loved America and yes, he loved war.  And yes, this podcast host once upon a time believed in what he was selling us.  But mostly, his death is a reminder of what we used to be forced to vote for.  As VP, Dems hated him almost as much as they do Trump.  In death, they will remember him as a great steward of the neo con deep state.     Bernie Sanders appears on a podcast and pretty much predicts the Democrat party is over and will splinter into two parties.   Ben Shapiro, on his podcast, hammers Tucker Carlson... we'll play a clip.    Former Senator Joe Manchin gives the clearest statement yet on why Dems are in trouble while a crazy dem in Montana running for office leaves the most vile voicemail you've ever heard for Montana Senatory Tim Sheahy.     Left Tackle Josh Simmons is back with the Chiefs.   I"m going there.... new KU star Darryn Peterson looks a lot like Michael Jordan.    And the Royals are sending a survey out to the fans about a new ballpark and that can only mean one thing.

   It's all here today as President Trump unloads a barrage of policy goals during an epic 60 Minutes interview right after the Chiefs/Bills game.  This appearance was no accident and it's yet another sign the new ownership at CBS is going to play things fair.    On the field, the Bills played what I believe is the best game they have played in the Josh Allen era.  Ever.  And still, somehow, the Chiefs had a chance to pull it out.  Amazing.    K-State gets worked over in a similar fashion against Tech and it sets up a big week for Patrick Mahomes at his Alma Mater.  KU rolls OSU and Mizzou preps for A and M.    The World Series was, perhaps, the greatest ever and it was definitely the best game 7 I've ever seen.  And Stan Weber his here to talk about the Chiefs playoff chances (spoiler: he's not worried) and we ask if the Broncos are a dirty team.    Our Final Final is a chance for you to score a little Christmas cash.

   There's something very strange happening with members of Trump's cabinet that if we read it in a history book about the Lincoln administration we would have thought it was the scariest of times.  Is something big going on?  We take a look at a series of things that point to something historic.    Meanwhile, President Trump has decided he wants to go nuclear option and end the filibuster.  Its something nobody has really wanted to happen but he gives a really solid reason.    The teachers unions have been going nuts over the shutdown and for good reason.  It's not their funding, that just plugs along.  It's something else and its huge.   Mizzou basketball coach Dennis Gates is asked about playing Howard University and a scholarship both schools have from a former reporter in KC and in the process seems to let  it out of the bag he has TDS.    Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com has his biggest plays of the year this weekend as we discuss the Chiefs/Bills and KSU and KU games.    And our Final Final is a return of the Song of Week suggested by a listener.
