Making a living by writing is as rare as being a billionaire
Useful and true - and yet, incomplete with respect to how many non fiction authors actually make a living. A book is a bridge. It should invite -
or inspire an experience with the actual work we do in the world. People are inspired by words -
but transformed through experiences. Begin with the end experience in mind (what you offer a super small subset of readers who want to immerse themselves more deeply in your expertise - and the book “profits” themselves - became largely a secondary concern)
“Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.”
What if you could have a panic attack, but for joy?

most similar analogs) vs Amazon KDP for authors, artists and entrepreneurs publishing and selling digital - (and physical) content.
