A Great Start for my eBook – Sold $…

The prelaunch of my book Start With A Side-Project has been amazing.

The book is about my experiences of building, marketing, and selling a side-project (Open Startup List), it is packed with actionable advice based on my personal experiences.

Last night I received my 5th sale!
It’s super rewarding knowing that amazing people put their trust in me delivering great content.

This is a great achievement for an aspiring, first-time author.

    Nice job - nothing like the feeling of those first few sales! I just sold my 5th HubSpot CMS Theme and man, getting a Theme sale notification is more rewarding than closing a web dev deal for 10x the amount for some reason 😆

    Awesome! I love seeing people put themselves out there. Just pre-ordered it myself!

      Thanks Leon, I've been actively promoting it myself after the sale of my side-project echoed out.
