From Jobless to Amazon Bestseller

You can't argue with success, but I think this won't work for everyone

He even says it himself there's a bit of luck here. And the 2020 update basically says 60% of what he originally recommended is out of date or didn't actually bring him sales.

I think he got really lucky with his covers and getting other items from fiverr as well. There's some gold on there but a lot of scanners as well. And one that point you can get away with less polished covers in nonfiction than fiction.
He did very well with the way he went, can't argue that! But some of that feels like the time he published and some really kinda was luck and determination! Which is great for him!

I think this book proves there's many paths to success for self publishing! But more of less with updates the biggest thing that works for him is paid ads. And he shares his affiliate link to Mark Dawson's ad course. I already planned on investing in that course so nothing here really blew my mind. But it is at least motivational.
