Self-releasing comedy specials allows comedians to retain control over their material and potentially achieve greater financial success than working with traditional streaming platforms.

“I made way more than I would ever make on the special itself it was the most money I've ever made in my life to be honest with you”

Mainstream publishers failed to recognize the commercial potential of female-led romance genres until they were already proven by self-published authors.

The host believes that pre-orders are a difficult aspect of selling books compared to other products.

“I've never sold books before a pre-order. And it's kind of hard expecting somebody to pre-order something that they, you know, that they not going to get until like weeks weeks later. So that that's my only worry right now, like the the pre-sale game.”

He thinks that pre-ordering books is a standard practice that people have been doing for a long time.

“it's a book though. People been buying books since the beginning of time. They don't have no problem pre-ordering.”
