I’ve had the pleasure of selling over 100,000 books as a self-published non-fiction author. In this video, I break down exactly how I arrived at that amount.
See if you can guess along the way which books sold well, which didn’t, and how much money I made. I think you’ll find some surprises!
📚 HOW DID I DO IT?
