✨ How I Did $16k in Sales in 3 Months Selling my Ebook

In September 2022, I released my very first paid product: an ebook called "Battle Ready Laravel".

It's something that I spent a lot of time and effort creating, and I'm super proud of it. But there were some things that I think I did wrong or could have been done better.

So in this article, I'm going to use it as a bit of a brain dump to share some of the things I learned along the way, what went well, what didn't go too well, what I'd do differently next time, and what's in store for the future.

🔥 My New Ebook!

Any of you that follow me on Twitter might have already heard, but I'm writing a new ebook!

I've been keeping it under wraps while I've been trying to make sure the idea is solid and will provide value to readers. So over the past few weeks, I've been working on some content ideas and getting a landing page ready.

I'm hoping that the landing page will be up within the next week.

The book is going to be all about consuming APIs in your Laravel applications. It'll show you how to write robust and maintainable code that you can use to interact with third-party APIs.

It'll cover things like:

• ✅ Making requests to third-party APIs
• ✅ API Authentication
• ✅ OAuth2
• ✅ Data transfer objects
• ✅ Securely handling webhooks
• ✅ Handling API errors
• ✅ Caching API responses to improve performance

You'll be able to join the waiting list and get a 25% discount code when the book is released!
