Well, there you have it!
What do you think?
In a few weeks, my 400+ page book will be available in print and as an eBook. Later this year you can expect the release of the audio version, narrated by the author. He’s giving me a very special rate!
Until then, you can keep track of the progress and the official release date on a new Facebook page which I’d love you to like:
I’ll also be posting updates on a new Twitter account:
WHAT ELSE IS NEW?
In the next week I am launching a website (www.makingmoneyinyourpjs.com), that will do several things:
– promote the book with previews and reviews;
– serve as a companion to the paperback edition with hyperlinks from the eBook;
– provide an easy way to learn more about the author and ways to get in touch with him.
But that’s not all. Eventually, this website will evolve into something much bigger and better. More about that at a later stage.
WOULD YOU LIKE A FREE COPY?
Do you want to be among the first to read my book?
To celebrate the release of Making Money In Your PJs, I am offering a free PDF copy to the first 50 people who leave a short comment in the comment section below. Just make sure you fill in your email address before you click “ADD COMMENT.” Otherwise I can’t reach you. Please do not leave your email in the comment box.

I’ve learned so much, my basic business model is based on Nethervoice advice. Cannot WAIT!!!!

Based on your blogs and musings – people are going to learn SO much from this book.

Looking forward to reading and learning more!
John
Paul,
I have been a huge fan of your writing and blog for quite some time now. I am so excited for this! Congratulations and I can’t wait to see the book!
Excited for this achievement… I am sure that this will be a well thought out guide to success, although still a little concerned about the style content for PJ’S. No doubt the graphic designer will sort that. Congratulations 🙂
I’m sure the book will be just as helpful and filled to the brim of valuable knowledge as your blog is for newcomers and pros alike.
Good luck with sales!
Hi Paul,
I follow your blog for a while now and I’m really curious about your new book!
Greetings from Germany,
Andrea
Congratulations on your brainchild! I’m sure it’s every bit as clever, funny and inspiring as your blog. Looking forward to reading your book!
This is bound to be a winner coming from you, Paul. The business side of VO is always a mystery to newcomers to the business and your blog has always been a great source of information. Best wishes for it’s release!
Good afternoon Paul,
Can’t wait to dig into this and see how your writing style works for my brain. 😉 I’ll let you know what I think about it once I’ve finished reading. Well done chummy!
Paul your writings are like your voice overs. Natural and appealing. From my booth to yours, best of luck with the latest project. IAN in South Australia.
Judging from all your previously written articles, Paul, this book is sure to be a welcome addition to ANY VO Artists library!!
Most likely to be a “Must Have!” 🙂
Congrats ! Should be a very interesting read Paul.
Hi Paul,
Well, making money will have to wait while I read your book in my pj’s! I have so enjoyed being educated, entertained and enlightened by reading your blog … I am really looking forward to your book!
Helen
I am so looking forward to reading this! I have learned so much from your blog already. I can’t wait to find some gems in the book!
This is wonderful, Paul! Congrats! I look forward to reading it.

Zo trots op u en wensen u veel succes als auteur.

What a wonderful offer, Paul – and what a great resource for voiceover folk! I’ve been appreciating all the insights in your blog and look forward to reading your collected wisdom. Hope it sells like hotcakes! 🙂

Sincerely,
Kevin
Your writings have been clear, informative, entertaining and inspirational. Can’t wait to read the book!
Based on your blogging posts, Paul – I’m certain that your book will be both informative and entertaining – best wishes – Phillip
And to think I suggested this a couple of months ago, not knowing it was already well under way, congrats Paul, I’m sure it will be a great success!
Love your site Paul,
I wish you much success on your new book.
Love the title:)
Paul, I always enjoy reading your blog and am grateful for the practical knowledge I’ve gained from it. I congratulate you on your new book, and feel it’s most generous of you to give away 50 copies! Thank you, Rich
I know I have a long way to go in this transition from radio to Voice Over but I know your book will offer vvaluble advice. You are a great writer and I love the winner`s design for the cover.
Best of luck with your book, Paul!
Based on your blog, it’s sure to be an interesting read…
I standing in the virtual que and chomping-at-the-bit with the rest! HUGE CONGRATS! 🙂
I’m really looking forward to what I’m sure will be a great and very informative read!
I can’t wait to read this Paul! Like many people have commented, I find your posts incredibly useful and I look forward to an entire book of your wisdom.
Kirsty
Congrats Paul. I’m sure it’s going to be an educational read as always. Can’t wait!
James
(I might be repeating myself, because the page hiccuped) I’ve always appreciated how you share information to help people succeed. Thank you for your positivity!
Hi Paul,
I’m most surprised at your choice of title. Not what I would have expected at all. I’m not sure what I did expect but “Making Money In Your PJ’s” is indeed a surprise. Most intriguing. 🙂
A.
I would be very excited to read your new book, I am in dire need of new inspiration ! Here is to great success for your book !
John
Congrats Paul! Looking forward to reading what I’m sure will be very informative.
Anticipation! I can’t tell you in such a small space all I’ve learned from your blog. I predict a hit!
Congrats in the new book! I am sure it will be as successful as your awesome blog.
Congratulations, Paul! You are a fantastic writer and I recommend your blog to everyone. I am so looking forward to reading this!
I’m very interested so see your insights. I hope I’m within the 50.
Before I even read it, I know this book will be a go to resource for years to come. Invaluable advice from a loved and trusted source. Thank you Paul , your audience awaits!
I think I’m number 51! But I’m commenting anyway because I’m really looking forward to reading this book!
I’m probably rolling in at 50+ here Paul… but I’d just like to wish you luck with this venture. Your observations are always well thought out and your writing style is entertaining… Mind you, I would probably have called it “Making Money in Your Bunny Slippers”… but that’s probably too much of an in-joke 🙂
Bish
Congratulations Paul! I’ve been an avid reader of your blog for years and I’m excited to read your latest musings on the industry.
I am fan of your blog, and very interested in your book! Unfortunately I am too late for a free copy, I guess ;-(
Good luck with your book, however!
Wow, that went fast. I missed the free giveaway, but I’ll definitely check out the book when it’s out.
Congratulations Paul! I may not be in time for the free pdf, but I will definitely be reading your book when it officially launches. Your blog is such a fantastic resource; 300+ pages of crucial advice in one place is going to be invaluable. It’ll be an instant industry go-to!
Congrats Paul. I didn’t make the cut, but look forward to this release!
I’m chiming in at 59 or so, but I gotta tell you how happy I am that this book is coming out. I have read your blog for a long time and am impressed with your insight and information. I have been waiting for a book like this — at last it is here!
Whether I’m below 50 or over 50, I WILL read Paul’s book. I am hoping to recommend it to my DVA members… all 760 of them.
Paul, I met you at FaffCon3. I found the information you shared in your presentation to be accurate and useful. I also enjoyed meeting you and the personal conversation we shared afterward. Your knowledge in Voice-Over matters and marketing expertise were readily apparent. Thank you for sharing both. I’m certain that expertise shared in print will be a great resource to voice artists everywhere. – Tom
If it’s as good as your blog, IMHO one of the best from the voiceover community, I want to be one of the first to read it. Looks like I missed being in the first 50. So, I anxiously await its initial release.
Darn! I just read this while sitting at my desk and missed the deadline! Paul, I will definitely be reading this book. Your blog has always such a wealth of knowledge and information to me, so a whole book will be fantastic! Can’t wait! Much success and blessings to you!
Hi Paul – I can’t WAIT to get my ‘free’ copy, but then, it won’t be autographed, nor can I impress all of my friends by having it out as a coffee table book, so I may have to buy a hard copy, and you can sign it next time we hook up (9/20?). OK, now Mike has to finish his proofing and away we go! – Uncle Roy
Congratulations on this fabulous achievement, Paul! I wish you nothing but great success with the book and all of your plans surrounding it. Cheers!! 🙂
I’m really excited to read your book. Even if I don’t get a free copy…I’ll definitely be buying it. BTW, I spent all day working in my PJs yesterday. I don’t normally do that but it was just one of those days- and the luxury of what we do! Thanks Paul
Sounds like you have a popular book already, Paul – and I’m happy for you about your forthcoming ‘plans.’ Best wishes for continued success! Did you tell the audiobook narrator that you expect more work to follow?
Paul, I look forward to finding your blog posts in my inbox every week, and I can’t wait to read your book. Congratulations!
I’ve always enjoyed your site Paul, you truly make great contributions to the VO world. Thank you!
Don’t think I made it to the first 50 but I’m commenting anyway just because! Good luck on this endeavor, Paul! Your words will help many!!
Long time reader, first time commenter!
I’d love a copy, but I’d also like to thank you for such a great blog- its really shaped the way I do business.
Good luck with your new book!
Paul Strikwerda’s Nethervoice blog has always been a fantastic resource for information on everything in the world of voiceover. I have no doubt that his book will be SPECTACULAR!
Dan Friedman
Congratulations Paul! I know it will be a great success as you are such an amazing resource in the vo field 🙂 Cheers!
Well, it looks like I’m late to the dance, but I would still LOVE a PDF of your book. Thanks!
Congratulations on your book Paul! I know this will be an amazing read, as you are a wonderful resource within the vo community. Cheers!
Congrats on getting your baby in print… Longtime lurker here; I’ve enjoyed your blog commentary for some time!
It’s been a privilege getting to know Paul via Social Media. He shares amazing instruction and opinion about the voice-over world from a personal and entrepreneur’s perspective.
I’ll happily buy his new book and look for take-aways that’ll help me be even better at what I do.
Cheers, Paul!
Congratulations!
Oh please…Oh please…

Looks like I’m a day late and a dollar short. But, this a valuable read, so I’ll get it, one way or the other! Thanks, Paul, for your generosity and help.
Congratulations, Paul. If your book is half as entertaining and informative as your blog it’s going to be a hit.
80 Comments as of this writing. Well, if you snooze, you lose—but at least I’ll be well rested to read your book when it comes out. (;->)
OMG—You have a Who’s Who list of comments!!
So glad you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, Paul. When would you like to be our Guest Star on http://EWABS.com ? —KC
All the best with your book, Paul. Looking forward to hearing more about fun in your jambes!
Break a leg!

I always look forward to your blog, and I am sure this new book will be filled with more pearls of wisdom. Thank you for giving back to the community once again!
Lori
I’m very much looking forward to reading your book, Paul. However I must admit, being “old-school”, I will forego the e-version and wait to have those wonderful paper pages in my happy little hands…settled into my chair with a cup of tea!
Free book or not, congratulations, Paul! You have always been such a thought leader in the VO world, and I have no doubts this endeavor will change a lot of lives!
Paul, I’m sure this book has been a long time coming for you… Congrats, my friend! For me, I just have to say, “It’s about time!” Looking forward to reading it… even it it’s not free!

I’ll be looking forward to reading your new book! 🙂
I’m way past the 50 mark but just want to say congratulations!
I mostly work out of commercial studios, but I’ll share a story… A few years ago I had to go to one of my city’s leading studios to direct a film dubbing. My wife said she could take me there in the car, so off we went. I hopped out of the car at the studio, looked down at my feet… and low and behold I’m wearing my slippers! Home was 18 kms away so there was no going back. Fortunately they were leather slip-ons from Morocco… and no one seemed to notice. 🙂
Free or not I will read it!
And I think the web page idea is great, I do have a feeling of where you are going with it.
Congrats
MEMO SAUCEDA
Sounds right up my street, I love my PJs. Great offer, thank you
Bummer. I was hoping to get one. I need all the help I can get! 😉 … Well, if you need a review, I’m certainly willing to provide one after reading a free copy! 😉
All the best!
Marc Schwartz

Kudos to you for reaching this milestone!
You’re an iconic figure in our industry who’s built a rock-solid reputation as a thought leader, and gathered a significant fan base along the way….best wishes for a successful book launch.
I’m off to place my order!

Con
Hey Con, you are too kind and you give me way too much credit. I’m just a bloke with a blog who talks for a living. My book will be out in the next two weeks. As soon as it’s available, I’ll announce it right here.
Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube
sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share
it with someone!
Congratulations on the book Paul. It looks great.
Hi Kevin, I’m glad you like the look of my book. My graphic designer did an outstanding job.
I am both a vo talent and produce demos for actors as well… I’d love to read your book and share share share the good word(s) about you. – Joel
Many thanks, Joel. It’s much appreciated!
I’ve looked into doing voice overs many times but I always chickened out now I’m ready
