What am I missing?
78 books totaling $160k makes it ~ $2K per book.
If it takes 2 days to write a book, this is not passive income rather belated income..
If it takes more (and it should if you want the books to bring value), then simple programming is more profitable.
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoYou're missing that it's recurring income over time, done on top of a day job. If the author was a developer, they would probably be making MORE money from being a prolific book author. You're also assuming that people make $1000 a day doing "simple" programming. 99% of developers do NOT work for VC funded companies or FAANGs.
- tzury 5y agoA. Very low income comparing to 100s of hours invested per book. B. Books about those framework are short-lived ones, given trends and versions are changing rapidly. C. Not everyone are working for a vc funded or FAANGs, but one with such capabilities can definitely work for such.
