You are right.

its enough! More than i can ask for. I am satisfied :)

hello fellow sg!

yea, if my day job was tech (it was previously), i would be so sick of it and wouldn't touch it when I got home. But now, i don't touch it in my day job and it suddenly becomes a pleasure to tinker with.

i document more on these in twitter. :)

i make sure not to take a lot of time to write a book. I don't write everyday. Perhaps just 3-4 days in a week? And at most 45 min per day.

whenever i am busy with church, family, i will put writing down. Won't ever compromise them.

And, its just a hobby i enjoy doing.

glad it inspired u to write your book!

will document them in twitter

Exactly! THanks!

So far for April: From Amazon $2,064.81 From Gumroad $384.96

There's also Smashwords & Ingramspark as well but I won't share those for now.

about 2 months writing on the side for each book.

Hello, I believe in writing short books and spending no more than 3 months on a book. In case the book is a failure, I cut my losses.

But yea, i hope to have other products priced more than $9.99 outside Amazon, eg gumroad

I did put in work.

I am lucky.

many of my books have been there for years.

paperback sells better

its in the article :)

you never know. just try. :)

I didn't do anything this month. So far royalties > $2,000. And I am thankful for it :)

But regularly updating them also gives you the edge over established publishers who DON'T update them.

and its not too difficult to update books, as compared to updating videos.

Its mainly jsut about eight books that bring in majority of the income. Amazon doesn't allow authors to delete unpublished books, thus showing 80.

you can check out the active books here:

Gotta sell it right? =)

Hey Curtise!

The initial books were harder to write as I hadn't flexed my writing muscles yet. but as i wrote more books, and get greater technical knowledge, subsequent books got easier and easier.

I would say the easiest book I got to write is my current on on Svelte (yet to be published) as i can leverage much of the content from my previous React, Angular books.

glad it helped!

yes yes. i gave up hope on this article having submitted it months ago.

just tried it again today and hack, it went up #1.

Just ms word for me

Just try it.

Action over procrastination.

You never know if you gonna hit success!

I write on the side though (i have a full-time job). Just a hobby :)

Thank you so much Chris!

passive in the sense that I wrote it once, and it continues to collect royalties for a long time after, without me having to do much :)
