I've got a small Fastlane progress thread here if you're...

    Hey all. Someone e-mailed me asking some questions about living in SE Asia, and I realized I haven't posted an update here in a while. I just got back from my first mini-retirement: I took one month off to travel Asia with friends... not something you could do with a traditional job ;). I got...

    Hey Kenny. Other than a BB promo and asking friends to download/review my book, all the advertising/pushing was done by Amazon and my own KW research, category selection, and copywriting. That's the point of Amazon - they do the work for you. I also built up press, as I mention above, by...

    No worries man! Fastlane considered BB to be advertising so I think they might have booted Steve from the forum. I'm going to PM you his contact info. Same type, self-improvement/non-fiction, but based on my most popular blog post that I get TONS of questions on. I have to do research to see...

    1. I had to apply for Lifehack authorship, you have to go through an interview/trial process. I write there monthly. For the other site, HowToBeast, I had collaborated with the owner on another project so I asked him if he'd be open to me writing for him. 2. Nope. Actually Steve from BB...

    Hey Peakdesire! (and also to anyone interested). Here's some stuff I did: - Wrote two guest posts for higher profile blogs to get my name out and my book (led to increased traffic for blog and probably some downloads) near release date/soon after - Used BuckBooks as a promo when went to 99...

    Hey guys and gals, it's been a while. I won't give the details, and I'll keep this short. I moved to Vietnam from Canada to enjoy the higher lifestyle for lower cost of living, being around lots of digital nomads/entrepreneurs, and other things that go with Asia. But more importantly I...

    Thanks for sharing Gabriel! Yeah one thing I learned from this was that it was great to write a long e-book that I think could help people, but next time I'm doing market research before (to see what's trending/what people want) and making it FAR shorter. However, this was a good learning...

    Pros of this week - Book is off to the formatter! Release date planned - January 23rd. Cons of this week - Complete burn out. I planned to take a week off but I need it. I was literally scraping the bottom of the oil barrel. I was the one who said I didn't want to work 14 hour days and wanted...

    Yep I prefer to integrate with my current list since everyone's going to get the same newsletters. But if it ends up being too much of a pain, I'll have a separate list and I can set it up myself super quick - I just see no reason to keep two separate lists, since with the amount of products...

    Hey Steve thanks for the info! Yep I put a free report together that's going to be given to people when they go to a lead page. I was trying to set up some capturing last week but I need to do some coding, so I'm looking for a MailCheat(Chimp) freelancer at the moment - Pretty much, I have a central...

    Hey Steve, for everyone's benefit maybe you can elaborate - I've heard it's best to sell the book at 99 cents for 3ish days then raise to 2.99. You've seen better returns on a one day 99 cent promo then switching straight to 2.99? Also FYI to all reading - I'm not going to post Steve's...
