A couple weeks ago I got a message from copywriter Andrew Harkin, who gave my new 10 Commandments a nice 5-star review on Amazon (“brilliant little book”). Andrew then wrote me to say:

Hi John
As promised, just left a review on Amazon UK
Sorry it was a bit later than I intended, but better late than never as they say
I loved it, but then I’m almost obsessed with the craziness of the human mind, psychology etc..
Have you started writing your next one yet? 😉

It took me two years to write this new 10 Commandments book, which is criminal, considering it’s only 33,000 words in total.
But in answer to Andrew’s question, just today, I’ve started work on my next book. I will aim to get it out much more quickly than the new 10 Commandments one.
It might seem foolish to be starting work on a new book only a few weeks after publishing the last one, before I’ve done any kind of thorough job promoting that.
But this entire book project got started with an inspiring blog post by James Altucher from 2020. James advised writing a short book, not overthinking it, getting it done quickly, self-publishing it.
And when you self publish, then what? Says James:
“The best way to market your first book? Write your next book.”
… so that’s what I’m doing. That said, I haven’t given up on promoting my new 10 Commandments book. To do so, I have two offers for you today:
1. Do you have a podcast, a Facebook group, or a newsletter? If so, we can do an exclusive interview that gives value to your audience. ( I’ve already agreed to do this with a couple of community and list owners.)
I have lots of stories and conclusions from writing this book, some of which are in the book, many which are not. If you have an audience and want some unique and interesting content just for your audience, hit reply and we can talk.
2. If you haven’t read my “brilliant little book” yet, Andrew in his 5-star review promises that if you do, “your financial & mental investment will reap dividends.”
Do you like the sound of dividends? And for just a $4.99 investment? If you do, here’s where you can get a copy of my (currently) newest book:
