Comment on The economics of writing technical booksparent

How much is this income do you think was a result of your following? From here, you look quite established.

My pet peeve is indie dev influencers who tweet “anyone can do it” while ignoring their own built up momentum. I don’t know enough about you to ascertain either way.

Lots of influencers out there claiming that anyone can follow their outlier performance. Super annoying but gets eyeballs (at least on LinkedIn).

I've been writing books for over 10 years (have published over a dozen). If you keep at it, there is good money to be made. Because you learn how to market and treat it like a business.

I now make more from my books than I make when I was in industry. But it took a long time. And a lot of work.

This is how I got established and built a following :)
