I published an Ebook this week.

Faster than I've ever published one before.

I've written several others before, and they always took me months.

Why?

Partly because I've been a perfectionist, and partly because I knew that once it's done, my relationship with the book will end. It will be out there, and people might read it or not, but it will have a life of it's own and I won't be part of it anymore.

It's like giving birth and then giving up the baby for adoption.

Birthing a book is a HUGE effort. It's not only the writing, but also the layout, design, etc. - after all, in today's bootstrapping, self-publishing world, many of us are doing every part of the project ourselves.

What did I do differently this time?

I decided to dismiss my inner perfectionist.
Good things always happen when I do that. I should just remember it more often...

Instead of going through the whole ordeal of making it look pretty, I just focused on the content and kept it simple.

Also, I had this brilliant idea of making it a living Google Doc instead of a static PDF.

(Click here to see it on Fiverr)

That had a number of advantages:

• I can update the file any time, so people will always get the latest version, no matter when they buy it
• I could publish it much faster and get it out there
• It's much easier to send it to people - it's a simple link instead of an attachment

But the best of all?

I can actually see how many people are engaging with it!!

Granted, I don't know who they are and what they think of it, but at least I know that my baby is out there and doing something. Hopefully something good!

And if everyone finds it as useful as the very first buyer on Fiverr, then I can be really proud of my little offspring ;)

I honestly don't know this nice person. I did not bribe him ;)

DISCLAIMER:

You do NOT need to invest $5 in this Ebook.
All the information you will ever need is here on Steemit and in the chatrooms.

I wrote this book for people who don't have the time to read a lot of different posts, gather all the bits of information, or hang out in the chats, before they have enough info to get started (and figure out what crypto currencies are).

This eGuide is only for people who are in a hurry to get started now.

I hope it serves a lot of people and brings them to this abundant (still too little) universe that is Steemit.
