Crossed $100K via @gumroad selling books I wrote - almost all this the past year, since leaving Uber. Gumroad was how I made my first $1 online: its what helped validate writing (and selling) books online and gave the confidence to start The Pragmatic Engineer Newsletter. 🙌 t.co/n7t1DZ5E5F

The books are: The Tech Resume Inside Out (free for anyone without a job) t.co/ETJDgAwWpu Building Mobile Apps at Scale t.co/9iXKja2hCy Growing as a Mobile Engineer t.co/pTomJTgqDM What’s amazing is 98% of this amount came from $8-39 purchases.

I am convinced that if you want to start a startup one day, as a software engineer, you should start by selling something online. Here’s why: t.co/OyvS0jr9wu Selling a book off @Gumroad, a coding course off @SlipApp are all great starts. You’ll learn a *lot* by doing it
