I'm very proud to share that my book Building a Second Brain has officially sold 300,000 copies worldwide! 🎉🥳🙌 It took about 30 months, which means we've sold about 10,000 copies per month on average since it was released. Only 8 countries have reported sales out of 28 total, so we still have a long way to go... The most interesting detail is that U.S. sales account for less than half the total, and that's trending downward as more international editions are released. Long term I'm guessing that the U.S. will only make up 20-25% of total sales (despite making up 65% of the advances I've received). I think publishers systematically underestimate the size of the overseas book market, as the middle class grows around the globe and the U.S. share of the world economy dwindles. Especially when it comes to books written by online creators, who tend to have very international audiences.

Most people are scared to share their creative work online But here’s all that happens when you do… People will either: • Get inspired (peers) • Offer advice (mentors) • Collaborate with you (partners) • Learn from you (followers) • Overlook you (no loss)
