- Welcome back to America Trends.
I am your host Deb Cole.
I am here with Julie Broad to end this segment,
talking about book publishing.
We'll talk a little bit about that
but let's share the poll results that apparently
you also voted on,
now that you're in America.
And the debate is about minimum wage.
And the poll was, how high should minimum wage be?
And 10% came in that it was, oh I'm sorry,
62% came in less than 10%.
- [Julie] $10.
- Oh sorry $10.
I need glasses.
More than, what is this?
More than $10 was only 2% and more than $15 was 25%,
and don't need it, 12%.
So apparently less than 10 is the majority of the vote
but some people say, don't need it.
You're saying, don't, no.
- Well the market will decide right?
- Right.
- If you don't want to work for $4 an hour
you're not going to take that job,
you're going to look for one that pays more.
- Right.
- And if you think you're worth $25,
then either make yourself worth it.
- Right, right, right.
- Or you're going to keep looking for a job
until you get what you want.
So I think the market can ultimately decide.
Wage personally.
- Does Canada have any type of minimum wage requirement?
- Yeah we do,
it's different in each province.
- Okay, so you were against that there too?
- Yeah, I feel the same,
I think the market should decide.
- Yeah, yeah, okay.
I like that.
Go ahead and tweet the Julie Broad,
if you agree.
Use #trendstv or tweet me at Coach Deb
and tell us,
what do you think?
Do you agree?
Do you not agree?
The other thing I wanted to talk to you a little bit about
is the self-publishing industry.
We're going to bring you back tomorrow to talk all about it,
because it's a huge thing.
During break I was getting some messages
that they wanted to learn more about the scams
that you had on YouTube.
So can you share that with us tomorrow?
Some of the scams, what to avoid, what to do?
- Yeah, yeah.
Absolutely, and we'll talk about how being an author
puts you in the 1%.
You know everybody talks about the 1%,
well we'll talk about how you can become
part of that 1% by being an author.
- That is huge actually because that's what everybody
wants to be, in the 1%.
- Exactly.
- Give us a hint.
When you became an author how did your life change?
- Well first I ended up on TV doing media interviews
across the country where I was the same person
before the book came out,
same expertise,
but post-book, media wanted to talk to me.
That's one thing, speaking, I started to get paid
to speak whereas I was always speaking for free before.
Again same expertise, same talk,
but with the book it changes a lot of things for you.
So yeah.
- So all of a sudden you become a more important person
because you're an author and you wrote the book.
It is interesting.
- It's the 1%, it is the 1%.
- I found after I wrote a book,
same similar type of experiences.
The biggest thing was no one needed
the resume with references anymore because they knew
if they read the book,
they liked what I had to say and they wanted more.
So I call it the new resume for business owners.
Here, here's my book, you don't need a business card
or a resume.
- And the best is they probably don't read it
but they think you know,
they put you up without even reading it.
(laughing) - Very good point.
It's that credibility and that expertise.
So if you have been thinking about writing a book,
got this burning desire,
or if you know you've got a book inside you,
tune in tomorrow to America Trends
and we're going to talk
all about the book publishing industry,
the trend, why it's so hot.
And then a few things, what to avoid because again,
because it's a hot trending topic,
you have people that try to scam you.
And there are people literally that will look at trends
and then create inventions on,
oh how I do scam people.
And the book publishing is no different.
- Absolutely.
And if you have a specific question you can send us a tweet
at America Trends,
or at Coach Deb,
or at the Julie Broad,
and we'll make sure we answer your question
about self-publishing.
- I love how you are the Julie Broad,
