Every time I read articles like that, of course, it inspires me to create, it gives hope, and stuff like that.<p>It is possible. Just do simple things and write.<p>But then you reach lines about $4m in sales and you are like "c'mon that just not me, right? it can't be".<p>I guess most of the time people have these questions in their head:
- Who am I to write? I am no expert (afraid to express an opinion, share knowledge)
- Whom will I teach? There are tons of people who know more.<p>and all that stuff.<p>What I am trying to say depending on current environment the person is in – it can be very hard to overcome those feelings and just start writing.<p>People should know that when they start writing when they start doing what they have never done – they will at some point be at the place they never been, out of that bubble where they were with discouraging peers.<p>Maybe that's why people invented aliases?
<i>Yep +1 have sold $4m worth of PDFs/videos to developers since I started working on my first book in 2016. Developers are an amazing audience </i><p>Interesting how much money devs want to spend on learning!
