Write Useful Books | Rob Fitzpatrick | Before the Bestseller 42


The next guest is one of my all time favorite curious minds. A huge shoutout to Anna David for the introduction. I came across Rob’s Write Useful Books book and it was the first time I fully understood the point, reason for, and ideal goals for someone who wants to market their books.

In this episode we talk about how an author can write a book that sells itself so you can stop marketing it.
