    yep @timferriss sent me here from #5bf , and im actually surprised ive not come across you earlier as I am a listener of Ali. Nonetheless, congrats on the success! Working on my very first ebook(let) and then working on some bigger book ideas that align with my podcast. Trying to gather emails and also bring the podcast subs up to 1k at least. Seeing you are just under 4k subs is very helpful to understand where I am at in my own journey. Im going to grab the book because i feel like it dovetails directly with some of the same ideas and concepts i cover in my own podcast (@militaryretirementpodcast) - people trying to find out what they want to be when they grow up (military people going back to civilian life). all the best and look forward to seeing and hearing more! 🫡

    Did you start the RUclips channel to support the book? Judging from the info in this video, it seems that sending free copies of the book to people who liked it, and increased its exposure for you, was your best marketing tactic.

    Hit up Penguin again. Ask for more money than they offered, but only for the hardcover and paperback rights, with a stipulation that you can gift 10,000 physical books. I forgot the podcast, but Tim Ferris shared a podcast about 6 months ago where a guy talked about the Perks of keeping your digital rights, which is what you're saying too. You'll cash in and expand your physical and digital sales from the publisher push.

    • @DrunkOnNukaCola
      @DrunkOnNukaCola День назад

      Better yet, ask for a 10 year expiration of the physical book sales or just let that sale be the foundation of your high leverage relationship moving forward for future projects.

    • @PaulMillerd
      @PaulMillerd День назад

      Yeah it was hugh howey. He has quite a big audience so has more leverage. I’d be open to a 5-10 year deal (this is what most foreign rights are) but honestly rather just keep going on my own for now. I’d be excited to work with a creative partner (authors equity could be interesting) but no one’s really open to it yet.

    The Creator of everything is : Allah " الله " , and He created us to worship Him alone, and in order to teach us how to worship Him, He sent prophets like " Noah, Abraham Moses, Jesus, " peace be upon them, and the last of the Messengers is Muhammad, may الله prayers and peace be upon him. Therefore, to enter Paradise and to survive punishment , must follow the last of the Prophets and Messengers, mohammed ﷺ ..We also believe in all the heavenly books such as : The Bible , the torah , the zabor ... Which " ALLAH الله " revealed to his prophets and messengers ، But it has changed and distorted. Therefore, " الله " sent Muhammad ﷺ with the " Qur’an “ God’s Preserved Words” to restore the previous religions to the truth.There is a lot of evidence that indicates that the Qur’an is a miracle ... We mention for example: its rhetorical and linguistic miracle, its scientific miracle, as it talked about scientific facts that have been discovered now only after technological development, just as the Qur’an talked about historical facts that they will happen and have already occurred Most of the current discoveries, in all fields, are present and mentioned in the Qur’an 14 centuries ago .The biggest sin in Islam is "shirk " polytheism For example, to worship Jesus This is a shirk Whoever worships other than God "Allah الله " is in the hell .We love and believe in all the prophets and messengers , but worship is only for " ALLAH الله " Like prayer and asking for forgiveness and mercy are only for " Allah الله " .whoever become Muslim all sins are forgiven by " ALLAH الله"He is like a new page, so he should be keen on doing good deeds Because heaven is the abode of bliss , pleasure , And everything your soul desires and what " الله ALLAH" has prepared for its people is beyond imagination The five pillars of Islam: Shahada, establish prayer, Zakat, fasting Ramadan, and Hajj.The Pillars of Faith: It is the belief in God "Allah الله " , His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and Predestination " Qadar " .A free person is a Muslim , by his servitude to " الله ALLAH ", is liberated from everythingTo become a Muslim, the first thing to do is to say the " shahada " testimony :" I bear witness that there is no god for worship except " ALLAH الله " and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger "Learn about " Islam " to know the true purpose of your existence in this life , and you know how to worship the one who created your heart , any question about Islam I can help you " insha allah " . Especially at the present time, you can download an application with the prayer call " adhan " that reminds you of the 5 prayers times And give you the direction of the qiblah this after saying testimony " shahada " And learn purity ( how to make ghusl and ablution ) _ Share this with others to know the truth

    I was eager to work and by the time I was 11 I had a paper route. 160 homes 7 days a week afternoons Mon. thru Sat. and on Sundays I had to get up at 4:30 am before anyone else in my house and go throw my route. When i broke my arm and it was in a cast it was Winter and there was a bad Ice Storm. I couldn't ride my bike and throw the papers with only one good arm so I ran my route. I had to run it because walking would've been too slow. My parents didn't help me, in fact the one Sunday that I woke up feeling sick with 101 temperature I woke my dad up and he took me in the kitchen and turned on the hot water tap got the Folgers Instant Coffee out and put two heaping spoonfuls in a cup filled it with hot water and handed it to me with two Exedrine Tablets and said "this is what I do when I have to go to work and I'm not feeling good." It took a few minutes but by the time I had folded my papers the caffiene and aspirin kicked in and I felt ok. It was another ice cold morning and when I got through I went back to bed. I also picked up side jobs mowing lawns and pet sitting. Great times I can't imagine not having my own money as a child.
