I've seen a few success cases like this with technical works written over a short period of time. I think it's an achievement distinct from fiction publishing because you're tapping into a lucrative market and answering a need. Congrats nonetheless on the success. How much do you charge for a copy, and how much marketing do you do?



The price is $25, but I’ve experimented between $15 and $38.

I spent about $8K on ads (Reddit) but most of my marketing was organic from my Twitter account initially, and later it was mostly word of mouth.
