a lovely milestone: on launch day, selling a book I wrote with all my heart about a topic deeply meaningful to me, I made more money than I used to make in a month at work as a salaried employee 🥲❤️🙏🏾🥂

I did work on the book for 3 years, and have been doing audience-building work forever, and launch day sales is of course disproportionately lumpy and it’ll taper off, but nevertheless, it’s an amazing feeling

@visakanv I'm so happy for you Visa! I promise I will buy your book too but before I must read the first one I've bought from you (it is happening this year for sure)

In <2 days, Introspect has made >33% as much as FAN has made in >2 years it’s not really a fair 1-1 comparison because of several different variables, and yet it’s quite staggering to experience regardless https://t.co/3ZhKxB7AWv

a technical note for anyone else on a similar path: the “do what you love” part is important, obviously, but the less obvious part – the part that people tend to overlook, is solving for distribution. That is, “talk to thousands and thousands of people” https://t.co/V7rqmrubRx

people tend to think “It’s unrealistic if not impossible to make a living doing what you love” because their model assumes you’re not going to talk to 100,000 people but once you have a decent-enough product that even 1% of people like, then it’s just a matter of distribution

relentless people are uncommon, I guess. so our goals seem unrealistic to others, until we achieve them. then it’s “well, of course, you have all those followers…” slightly souring a celebratory tweet with logistics and strategy etc lol but this is the truth!! https://t.co/uG07y5vPf8

if the laws of physics don't forbid it, then it's mostly just a matter of figuring out the steps along the way
