Iron Age Marketing

In today's episode of Iron Age Marketing, I talk to JV Hilliard, creator of the Warminster fantasy book series and a current caretaker at Altered Reality Magazine. Let's Meet Iron Age Creator JV Hilliard I'm going to write a few brief sentences about today's guest here but I encourage you to go to his website and enjoy the fantastical retelling of his origins available there. For our purposes, JV Hilliard is a man who found himself with a lot of extra time in the middle of 2021 and rather than waste away decided to start hacking away at his bucket list. Part of his bucket list included trying his hand at writing the fantasy fiction he loved so much. Fortunes conspired and what he expected to be a single novel foray into self-publication turned into a four-book series (Warminster) on Dragon Moon Press. If that wasn't enough he found himself behind the scenes at the speculative fiction E-magazine Altered Reality Magazine. As of this interview, he's waiting on the release of his third novel in the Warminster series. JV Hilliard Shows Us Where Luck And Hard Work Meet In The Iron Age This is standing as one of the most jam-packed episodes of the show to date. If you're canny you can hear in the episode where I tried to end it for time and yet we managed to find an extra ten minutes to talk about the state of audiobooks in the modern age. Before that, we talked a lot about the stepping stones available to unpublished authors as well as the ways they can start building their tribes as authors. One of the moments that stands out for me is the recurrence of relationship building being a part of the marketing process at all phases yet again. To this end, Hilliard opens himself up to all my listeners to pay forward the help he received on his rise. Hopefully, you walk away from today's interview with the knowledge you can accomplish more than you expect if you're willing to combine passion with elbow grease and take advantage of the openings as they present themselves.

In today's episode of Iron Age Marketing, I talk to Remso Martinez, an author, professional marketer & comics podcaster. Let's Meet Iron Age Creator Remso Martinez Remso Martinez is more than just a personal friend with two books and a bestseller under his belt. He's also a professional marketer with years of experience as a podcaster himself. On top of this, Remso had spent years working in everything from politics to nonprofits, from newspapers to cosmetics sales, even down to GameStop when he was on the come-up. More than just a hard worker naturally carrying the Iron Age Ethos, Remso is rich in valuable information for those ready to build a personal brand. Wisdom From Remso Martinez, Professional Marketer & Iron Age Creator Today's episode was a little difficult to keep corraled. As much as I wanted to talk books, there was too much marketing gold to pass up. Remso shared his different experiences bringing both Stay Away From The Libertarians! and How To Succeed In Politics (And Other Forms Of Devil Worship) to market, as well as insights into the different experiences he has had in his career in marketing. I promise today's episode was absolute fire. Hopefully, my conversation with Remso today was both inspiring and informative. If we did our job, we should see more of you popping up on ironage.media making yourself part of the growing creator community.

In today's episode of Iron Age Marketing, I talk to young creator Emmanuel Thompson about bringing his book Gangster Planet to market. Let's Meet Iron Age Creator Emmanuel Thompson Hailing from Dorchester, Massachusettes, Emmanuel Thompson emblemizes the best in youthful ambition. At his age, I was in an unsuccessful band, yet he's managed to release a book, begin his journey toward pro wrestling, and release multiple tracks as a black metal singer. The Gangster Planet, Emmanuel describes to me as a hodgepodge of all the best tropes post-apocalyptic literature brings. Anything that stinks of Mad Max immediately has my attention. Emmanual Thompson Tries To Guide Society With A Steady Hand My conversation with Emmanuel was definitely more "Raw" than some of my other guests, but that goes hand in hand with his fearless nature in covering topics. We covered not only race and politics, but the place for violence in a civilized society. He gets candid about his own socioeconomic journey while always sounding optimistic and hopeful about the future. Obviously, a surprising vibe considering he's the author of dystopic fiction. Whether you know him as Emmanual Thompson, Tepesh, or Ethan Bricks, I can assure you he is going to push the envelope in whatever medium you catch him using.

In today's episode of Iron Age Marketing, I talk to Jack Lloyd, comic creator, musician, author & all-around libertarian personality. Let's Meet Iron Age Creator Jack Lloyd Jack Lloyd is the creator of The Voluntaryist comic book series, author of The Definitive Guide to Libertarian Voluntaryism, and the brainchild behind a number of music videos with The Pholosopher. Lloyd has been a fixture of the libertarian world online for over a decade and has been behind the marketing of many large Facebook pages and online personas. If you're a libertarian, there's a good chance you follow a project of his already and might not know it. Jack Lloyd Uses Spandex Characters To Spread A Message In The Iron Age In our conversation, we talk about the myth that there was ever a time when politics weren't in comic books as well as the rise of ideological control of modern media. From there, we discuss how building your own personal brand and community is the key to finding success in the new decentralized market. While decentralization might be a hassle in some ways now, it's a net positive in the long run. We end our conversation by discussing the value of perseverance by continuing to do what brings you joy. The lesson to walk away with today is that perseverance and a little work on establishing personal celebrity can be the difference between success and failure. In short, start building today and keep going til it takes.

In today's episode, I talk to Luke Tatum, Iron Age author of Between The Lies: How To Reclaim Your Future From The Banks And Wall Street. Let's Meet Iron Age Creator Luke Tatum Luke Tatum is a financial planner and the author of Between The Lies: How To Reclaim Your Future From The Banks And Wall Street. Luke was a middle manager in retail for years before being led down the path of Austrian Economics and eventually Infinite Banking. The lessons he discovered down that path brought him the freedom many of us spend our lives searching for. That freedom is at odds with the rules the banksters have set out for us. Self-publishing was always the only option. Luke Tatum Takes On The Money Men In The Iron Age Luke is very open about his process in making his book Between The Lies: How To Reclaim Your Future From The Banks And Wall Street a reality. He goes through getting a marketing consultant and preparing for launch. He lets us into his frustrations during the writing and editing processes. As a final question, I ask him if the information in his book has some special value to Iron Age creators. You'll need to listen for that answer though. I think Luke said it best when he tells young writers to be realistic when they set their expectations. Don't use your best writing day as the representation of your average.

In today's episode of Iron Age Marketing, I talk to Andronikos, writer of the book Revenge and its Discontents: My Journey Through the Iliad. Let's Meet Iron Age Creator Andronikos My guest today, Andronikos, is a creator at the very beginning of a journey. He is the writer of Revenge and its Discontents: My Journey Through the Iliad. What started as a very personal journey in continued education turned into a lesson on perseverance and demonstrating what can be accomplished. From Blog To Book With Andronikos In The Iron Age Our episode begins with Andronikos giving us his journey into the classics and the great conversation. I know many of us can sympathize with those who feel like the education system let them down. Following this path, we get to see how what started as a blog was eventually retooled and made into a book. We get the opportunity to go through some of the missteps our guest took before his final surrender to the convenience of Amazon. What I really want listeners to think about is that every step can be a small part of the larger whole. What starts as a single blog post can be a chapter in something greater and maybe the next step to your better life.

In today's episode of Iron Age Marketing I talk to Edward Black, creator of the webcomic I Survived The Kali Yuga. Let's Meet Iron Age Creator Edward Black The value of the decentralization of art is a definite point of contention amongst gatekeepers and pundits today. But for creators, the bottom line is it's blown the doors wide open for all comers. One creator who met the call was mid-westerner Edward Black. Black is an unlikely candidate who somehow managed to parle his meme lord status into something more. His creation I survived The Kali Yuga sits in this strange place between humorous psychedelic daily satire memes and a full-blown neo-noir serial book. What The Iron Age Really Is With Edward Black While Edward and myself cover his career so far and how he balances that with family life and a day job, we also get into the Iron Age Media movement broadly. What started as a simple response to market demand has created a movement all its own. Both Black& myself are in love with the sudden spike in pulp and genre content coming out and look forward to more creators jumping into the fray. Gatekeepers blocking the stream will inevitably create a flood, and I'm more than happy going night-fishing on the lake they create. I've got my big rod I'm hoping for a monster.
