An ebook that earned $61,392 in 3 days

I wrote a bit about Adam Wathan’s multi-million dollar side-project in last week’s newsletter.

Turns out Adam has also earned $2.5 million the past few years selling books and courses about software development 💰

How did Adam get started?

He wrote a book in 2016 called Refactoring to Collections – yeah, I don’t know what that means either 🤷‍♂️ – which earned him $61,392 in three days and let him quit his day job.

Adam wrote about that experience on his blog.

The most amazing part to me is that the book did so well despite Adam having a relatively small audience: 1500 email subscribers and 4000 followers on Twitter.
