How to market your book when you’re a nobody

Don’t market it.

And instead do this…

Look. I failed miserably at most of my self published books.

But here’s the truth…

I don’t have time.

I don’t have money.

I don’t have skills.

I’ve failed in the past.

I’m not confident.

I can’t afford to travel.

698 blog posts later…

I wanted to call this post “what I learned writing 698 blog posts”.

But then I decided to not do it.

Simply because this is something I didn’t want to put into another listicle.

Reflection or action?

I read almost zero books in 2016.

And I learned quite a few things reading almost zero books.

First of, you probably shouldn’t finish 99% of the books out there.

Reading the wrong books

There are millions of books out there.

And thousands of people are telling you what books to read.

So it’s pretty easy to get stuck reading the wrong books.

I don’t…

Use a smartphone.

Meditate.

Use productivity apps.

Have a place of my own.

Speed-read.

Own fancy equipment.

Who is your work for?

Being a writer is not fun. It’s probably one of the worst things out there…

Everything you put out there, everything you publish, no matter if it’s a book or a blog post feels like something inside of you is dying…

What I learned writing an entire book in just 30 days

On July 31st I decided to write a book…

And on August 1st I started writing it. But I didn’t just write a book. I decided to write a book live in front of the whole world to see. Ok, it…

“This book was so awful, it actually inspired me to write my own book…

… if he can do it anyone can do it!”

These are the exact same words someone wrote below one of my latest books on Amazon.
