Writing a popular book is also the easiest way to make money. While it's infoproducts not just books, I've made around $250,000 over the past 5 or 6 years with my sidehustle. If you add the dayjob/consulting opportunities it enabled, that number easily jumps to $500,000. Yes, being born in SFBA, going to Stanford, and getting on the startup wagon straight out of school would've been a better ROI, but that path was not available to me. The sidehustle did however open it up and I'm on that ride now with about a 6 to 7 year delay. tldr: Write something people want to read.
