Woke up to a Gumroad notification of another book sale!

This means I crossed $100 from online sales!

Totally worth it though

Today was a very low day. I feel like I didn’t make any progress, and I have doubts regarding moving forward.

I hate days like this.

Just realized that I’m one dollar and four cents away from making my first $100 online.

Quitting my high paying SWE job was totally worth it.

Two days ago I made my first dollars online.

It brings me back 14 years ago, when I got my first programming job, and a real paycheck.

Thank you all for the support, I hope to make many more dollars from my craft and skills!

But it’s also lonely. It’s hard. There is no structure, and nobody is going to tell you what, and how to do.

So yeah, it’s not always rainbows.

My profile says that I’m “building a sustainable online business”. But what does sustainable mean?

For me it means building a business without the intention to grow it to a huge corporation, mainly focusing on , and without VC money and hyper growth.

A business that is built on value, rather than hype such as or .

A business that does not monetize the attention of my users.

Does this resonate with you? Consider joining my journey.

My book cover reveal!

For the past 7 years, I had the amazing opportunity to grow as a software engineer. All thanks for one simple habit—writing.

I truly believe that writing can take anyone’s career to the next level. And I’m excited to share my experience about technical writing.

Few days ago I received an emai that started with “at this point, it feels like increasing your sales pipeline isn’t a priority for you”.

This is marketing 101. Create a feeing of missed opportunity.

This is the problem with all those influencers. They simply read a book and then repeat the same mantra they’ve read, without trying to think outside the box.

I can understand why people are afraid of AI. There is no personality left it them, of course AI will replace them.

When should you talk openly about the business you’re building, and when should you keep quiet about it?

Several entrepreneurs promote the benefits of “building in public.”

While I agree with the premise of sharing your journey, there are times when it’s a bad idea to build in public.

More about that in this article…
