The initial book just poured out of me. I had an outline, I knew exactly what I wanted to say and I just wrote the content. In that way it was like tackling a college paper or trello board, but instead, a few hundred pages of text.
Like I've said.. no other ideas have really coalesced into something outlineable and easy-to-market.. I have one manuscript that's 80 pages and sucks, another at 40+, etc etc. Reminds me of the hobbyist programmer population here with tons of unfinished projects.
I really had something to say and felt entitled to say it.
* Did cover on Canva.com
* Made a list of podcasts in the programming niche and emailed a bunch of the hosts with suggesting they invite me as a guest
That's about it. I do some ongoing pay per click marketing too.
