🎂 3 years ago, I almost didn't write this book

Three years ago this week, The Bestselling Book Formula came into the world. But you know what? I almost didn't write it.

I sent a newsletter about the book-writing formula I'd been using for years. I'd discovered a way to analyze why some books sell for decades (while others hardly ever sell). My friend and ghostwriter-extraordinaire Kent Sanders read it and said the sentence that got me thinking:

"This needs to be a book."

I wasn't sure it had legs, but after some additional thought, added it to my production schedule. As I had done for more than a decade, I wrote it during my 6-7 a.m. writing sessions. That is still, most of the time, my daily practice: watching the sun come up over my yard, coffee at the ready, writing the words. And about 15,000 words later, the book was done.

I almost didn't write it because I second-guessed whether anyone would be interested in it, besides me. Turns out, I was on to something.

The book is short, purposeful, and without a word to spare. The formula inside is simple—and simple is my whole point.

Ya'll know I love a book birthday, and this is the book's 3rd birthday. I hope you're ready to celebrate with me, and in case you are (and you don't have the book or mini-course) your book birthday gift is a sale:

📖 The ebook is just $0.99

📚 The paperback is $9.99 (33% off)

🎓 The mini-course is $20.30 when you use code SUBSCRIBER at checkout (regularly $29)

I've put the links below, but first, I want to tell you why this book exists, and why it might be the most important thing you read before you write (or rewrite-to-re-launch) your book.

More on that tomorrow.

​GET THE EBOOK FOR $0.99​

​GET THE PAPERBACK FOR $9.99​

Reading time: < 30 seconds I read a book recently and could not, for the life of me, remember the name. It had been a gift (no Amazon purchase history), wasn't on Kindle (couldn't look for it that way), and the title wasn't "the best." Really fun book, made an impact, no idea who wrote it or what the title was. Has this ever happened to you? You read a book, loved it, and then tried to recommend it to someone, only to completely blank on the title or the author's name? (Come on, throw me a...

Reading time: < 30 seconds It's the 2nd book birthday for You Must Monetize Your Book. I promised to share where my income streams start. It's a one-word answer: decision. Every income stream I've built started with a single decision: to take what I knew and turn it into something that could serve people at a scale big enough to make an impact. Your book can do the same. The only question is: what will you build first? If you already know, or are contemplating an idea, press reply and tell...
