Tips:

  • Every page needs to be the entrance to a book.
  • The reader should be able to flip through your book at random and find valuable information.
  • If a chapter is 26 pages long, it will scare people away. People won’t go back.
  • There was a time when a book was something magical. There were all sorts of gatekeepers. Today, there are no barriers to entry.
  • I am in the last generation that had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood.
  • I’ve written 30 books but I really don’t like to write. So I do it fast and efficient.
