Happy Friday! I’m doing a week of posts to recap 2022 and kick off 2023 with some writing momentum. Today I’m sharing a recap on my crazy book success in 2022. On Monday, I shared my annual review, on Tuesday I shared how I made $249k in income, on Wednesday I shared
What you said about book marketing/sales reminds me of what Cal Newport has said in his podcast. He emphasizes the importance of being (a) the “the right person” to write the book and (b) the book hitting the Zeitgeist at the right time.
You meet these two conditions, which means more will spread via word of mouth b/c people are excited about the book rather than if you did 75 podcast interviews in a week (maybe lol).
I love the way you’re approaching this because it’s so different from other authors. Most of them are so primarily driven by sales numbers and not the content of their books themselves, so it’s been really refreshing to watch.

Love this so much. Thanks for sharing your journey and huge congrats!
