I've been earning a bit on a regular basis since I published it 1 year and a half ago. Not enough for replacing a salary, but enough as side pocket money. I'm lucky to have a decent following, so I didn't have to market it a lot. I'm currently writing a second one which is longer and more advanced, so hopefully it will earn me a bit more.
- jventura 6y agoThanks for the reply! Do you have any practical tips you may want to share? Maybe how did you grow your audience, how you wrote your book (technologies, etc.)?
- bbx 6y agoWell I grew my audience on Twitter by building open source projects. [1] I didn't really plan or aim for anything. It mostly happened. As for technologies, I just wrote the book in markdown using Sublime Text. Then I used a markdown-to-pdf library from GitHub to generate my ebook, and voilà. Nothing fancy really.
