This past July (2024), I self-published my very first non-fiction book! π
If you were reading my emails back then, you may have even snagged yourself a free copy. If so, thank you, THANK YOU!!! π π₯° And if you didn't but want to check it out, you'll find it right here.
This is me with a proof of Simply Stoic, and a screenshot of its "Top New Release" ranking. Needless to say, it was all quite VERY thrilling!

Today, I'm here to share a videowhere I cover the 5 tools I used to write, format, and publish my book, and most of them are FREE! π₯³
If you've ever dreamed of publishing your own book or you're curious about the process, I hope you'll find it insightful. (It's only 5 minutes, so it's a super-quick watch!)
Although this was a passion project for me, from a branding standpoint, writing a book is a powerful way to boost your personal brand, establish credibility, and share your expertise with a wider audience.
