Summary

#876 Publishing a book is one of the most rewarding things you can do. It's also one of the hardest. In this episode, I reflect on the first week after launching Lean Learning. From podcast guesting to TikTok strategies, I share all the lessons I’ve picked up along the way! Listen in because this is a behind-the-scenes look at what happens after you put something big out into the world! Today, I open up about working with a traditional book publisher, how I’m thinking about marketing going forward, and the tactics that seem to be moving the needle right now. Plus, I share how reader feedback is shaping my next steps and why personal messages from strangers mean more than any bestseller list. If you've ever thought about writing a book, this is the session for you. Join me to hear what's working and what's not! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/session876.
