BTB55: How Jon Sherman sold 100,000 copies of his book in the first 6 months of release

Before the Bestseller


Jon and I first got in touch right before he was about to launch his new book, The Four Foundations of Golf. I remember him telling me about everything he had planned for the launch and how he was finally creating a product of his own.

Little did he know just how well that launch would go, and continues to do. That book is on its way to selling over 100K copies within just 6 months.

The reason why I love Jons story so much is because he’s another one of these self published authors who literally started blogging about something he was passionate about, blogged about it for years and learned a lot about how to make a blog work, built relationships through great content, captured followers in an email list, and then used all of that to launch his book.

Every time an author like Jon comes on, they give away little details of what they specifically focused on or hacks they figured out along the way and that’s what I love sharing the most with you. So it’s my pleasure to have on Jon Sherman of The Four Foundations of Golf.
