And so I launched it to an email list of 798 people on MailChimp.

Everyone was telling me like social media and all of this is going to drive the sales.

But it was really email that drove the sales.

So I made $12,000 in the first 24 hours.

And I'm blown away.

And I never took on another freelance design client.

I thought the dream, you know, making product income.

But then the other thing was that email was driving all of these sales.

After that book, two things happened.

One, I became obsessed with email and I was trying to learn everything I could about best practices.

And then the second thing is I just kept writing because I didn't want to break the chain in this little iPhone app that I had made.

And so I ended up writing 1,000 words a day for another 90 days straight.

And at the end of that, I published another book called Designing Web Applications.

A similar model, but applied to a different medium.

And that launched to a bigger email list of like 3,000 people.

And it made $26,000 in the first day, $50,000 in the first month.

And my last job that I quit a year earlier, I made $63,000 a year.

You know, I'm now making almost in a month what I made in a year.

Yeah, I know that feeling.

The creator world is amazing.
