I think it's a decent article. I mostly agree.
But I want to say that I wish the credibility is in reverse. You should first be credible enough for writing, then you can boost it further for having it finished and well received. Just finishing a technical book is not enough.
I am too finishing a self published book[0] so I am very interested in other self-published cases. I miss some sales numbers in the article or advice on marketing strategy.
If someone is interested, I just shared how the first month of selling went for my book[1] (spoiler: pretty well for unfinished book). I will continue doing this, because I think it's super helpful for others thinking about it.
Writing a good book is HARD. Marketing it might be even harder. Most authors will be net-negative considering salaried work, so share your numbers!
