It's starting to rank, too. It's currently #10 on the Entrepreneur best-sellers and all three editions (eBook, paperback, hardcover) are on the Top 100 New Releases. 🥳🚀
Most paperbacks and hardcovers are not included in the Amazon list — yet. I assume that an additional 50% of the reported number was ordered as a print version, so add another ~60 to the mix.
So day one saw 318 - ~370 sales. We'll know for sure next week when they're delivered!
Sales on @Gumroad have been spectacular. As usual, that platform allows me to reach those readers who don't have easy access to Amazon as Americans or Germans might. Also, the Notion-based toolkit is sold exclusively on Gumroad.
Now, to the rankings!
#10 in Entrepreneurship Best-sellers. That's just flat-out awesome.
My launch tweet has so far gathered 421,651 impressions. Almost half a million people. 🤩
And even better, over 40.000 plays of my super-high-quality professional amateur video that I taped on my couch :D
I'm looking forward to seeing those Amazon developments over the next few days. Super excited to see my book among such illustrious names and beloved books.
What a day!

@mijustin@TransistorFM Here's the latest episode where @robfitz talks about the Mom Test, writing useful books, the future of AI and what it means for founders, creators, and our collective knowledge production systems.
I feel like today, we’re seeing the exact opposite. People don’t know how to technically build a website but they sure know how to present a fake life that appeals to other users of the medium.
In the early web, we didn’t have anything to optimize for.
Today, we are so focused on getting attention, that the thing that we share stops to matter in many cases.
As someone who is teaching others to build an audience, I feel conflicted, but I don’t think this is unresolvable.
Remote work is here to stay. Stay-at-home work, so to speak. 🏡
But our homes are usually ill-equipped to make working a full-time job enjoyable or productive.
This can —and will— change.
What would the ideal futuristic remote-first home look like?
Here are 5 predictions 👇
1) Every house will have at least one office space. In fact, new builds might focus on having one office per adult inhabitant. With that comes a hunger for reliable bandwidth, which will move from afterthought to determining factor for building location. Partnerships will thrive.
2) Gone are the days of the single-purpose guest room. Modular rooms will be planned for remote-first houses, with quick-to-deploy-and-hide furniture, movable sections, and flexible lighting. “Remote first furniture” designers will flourish.
This is my gift to you: for just today, my work, valued at $150+ at the very least, will be $5 if you buy everything at its minimum price. Two eBooks, two audiobooks, and an extensive course.
Of course, you can pay as much as you’d like, but that’s 100% up to you.
Why am I doing this? Well, I know that many of my followers can’t afford or haven’t yet made up their minds about getting into my books and courses. Today, I want them to be able to.
Also, here’s me as a Hobbit, according to @midjourney.. Let me explain to you why that matters:
I'm looking for sponsors for The Bootstrapped Founder (podcast & newsletter) in 2023.
