Book covers

the iterations are real ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ About a year ago, I was chatting with Dan Martell (we live in the same town - minutes from each other) about how he was thinking of writing a book. He showed me a framed announcement celebrating how he'd reached The New York Times bestseller list with his book - a book he hadn't even written yet. Dude's got vision. And now he's gone and written the book. During that chat a year ago, Dan was like, "And where's your book, Jo?" I swore I'd write one, too. Ahem. Well I kinda did. We released ["Your First $1000"]( in the fall, which is a book I love but which is actually a mega list of exactly the tactics you need to follow to start earning $1K on the side. So not a big think piece or anything. We also re-released (and are continuing to re-release) [the original ebooks]( that launched Copyhackers to the top of the Hacker News community for an entire day nearly 12 years ago. Also not think pieces. Do pieces. Side note: - In both cases, we tested our book cover design - which I recommend you do, too, if you're thinking of writing a book. - [Here's our newest article]( in which our designer Nicole walks you through how she used Usability Hub to "advanced gut check" her book cover designs. But I still haven't written THE book. And I mean --- I've got ideas. I've got outlines. I even ran a couple of ideas by my Shine Crew when we were in Portugal in October. And they were REALLY encouraging about this one topic, called "Money Words" (which builds on a talk Ry Schwartz and I gave years ago). But I still haven't written it. Not even close. Which brings me back to [Dan's book]( It's about designing the freedom to work on the high-value stuff you and your business need. Like, y'know, writing a book you've been putting off for ages while Dan Martell - who runs one of the largest coaching companies in the world and is objectively busy - easily knocks out a book and gets lined up for another. So I've added his book to my kindle. Now let's see if I can use his techniques to churn out my Money Words book by this time next year. ~jo :) BTW, if you struggle to prioritize high-value work, [check out Dan's book]( If you've managed to write your own book but you're stuck on the cover design, [check out this article]( Sent to: {EMAIL} [Unsubscribe]( Copyhackers, 10158 103 St NW Unit 200, Edmonton, Alberta T5J 0X6, Canada
