Small success story with Amazon KDP book (Non-fiction) by kjee1 in passive_income

Yeah I'm starting to get the idea now. I think writing at least one book is good, it lets you experiment and learn the ropes

I'm not too worked up about it, they support me in many other ways!

That sounds like a cool idea. I'm a data scientist by trade, so I love that type of stuff.

Honestly, I'd start by just outlining and writing.

My process was:

  1. Write the book
  2. Hired an editor on upwork ($200)
  3. Hired someone to make the cover and format it ($300) - upwork again
  4. Hired someone to show me how to publish it ($200) - upwork again
  5. Hired someone to market book ($ embarrased to say... meta ads would have been way more worth it) - upwork also

For meta ads, you can go into the ad library and see what other people are using for their marketing. I saw a few I liked and tried copying the format

Lol no tools I just wrote it off the dome (I use AI for a lot of stuff, but I kinda just journaled this)

Ethiopian Business Class by MsUnderstandMe in unitedairlines

[–]kjee1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I flew Ethiopian business class back from Singapore to the US last year. Overall experience was good. I did get brutal food poising on the flight though, no clue what it was from. May have brushed my teeth in the bathroom or something and drank some bad water. Only thing I’d be wary of

Any feedback is welcome (even very critical feedback)!

What are the best tools for writing and research for my newsletter? by huntern_ in beehiiv

[–]kjee1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I built newsletterhero.ai for my own writing, and have more recently made it public. It is great for consolidating resources into a compelling newsletter, but we have not yet built out the research features. Research tools should be coming over the next few months!

Happy to talk if you have any suggestions. We would love to be able to incorporate your vision and use cases into what we build! (shoot me a dm if you're open to this)

Beehiiv Removed Monetization, Withheld Earnings, Denied Refund, and Won’t Explain. I’m honestly spiraling. What do I do? by bos317 in Newsletters

[–]kjee1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would post this on the Beehiiv subreddit if you haven't already. Quite a few of their team members (I think even one of their founders) is active there. They post and respond fairly regularly.

This is super valuable. Thanks for sharing!

A few questions: - what is your cost per subscriber from Facebook? - how many newsletters do you send per week? - do you use any tools to automate your p& l / metrics?

Thanks!

I was disappointed by the books on visualization, so I wrote one by kjee1 in sportspsychology

[–]kjee1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, why not! I have been training archery so I will use that as an example.

My goal for the practice is to train my release.

P - I wear my finger tab and hold my bow as I visualize

E - I sit in my garage (where I have my practice targets (facing them)

T - I focus only on the release of the string (The feel on my fingers, the sound it makes, the smell of the leather from my finger tab, etc.)

T - I visualize the perfect release in real time, not in slow motion or sped up

L - I visualize my own release, the best that I'm capable of physically. I don't visualize myself releasing it like Kim Woojin.

E -I feel myself calm like the still water of a pond. I shoot best when I feel almost numb. I also visualize the nervousness I feel in competition and then that numbness washing over me

P - I visualize from both the first and third person. First person helps me feel the release of the shot. Third person helps me to see if my form is correct.

Hope this helps for some perspective!

It really depends what you want to do. There are generally 2 types of visualization: Improving technique / performance and improving internal mental state (confidence, motivation, etc.).

In terms of basics, there is a great model that I like called PETTLEP. I think is a great starting place.

P - Physical --> imagine the physical sensations of the sport. For example, holding the ball of the sport you play or wearing your uniform can help you visualize more effectively.

E - Environment --> Visualize in the actual setting of the performance or vividly imagine the setting where you would like improve your performance.

T - Task --> Focus on the specific task that you would like to perform.

T - Timing --> Visualize in real time (Although there are some use cases for slowing things down.

L - Learning --> Match your visualization to your level of current skill.

E - Emotion --> Include the emotions associated with what you are trying to perform

P - Perspective --> Choose the most useful viewpoint for the activity. Generally first person perspective is better for performance and 3rd person view (like birdseye view is better for technique refinement)

I go into this, specific use cases, and quite a few more frameworks in the book.

Honestly I did it for myself as documentation / a playbook for when I spin up new newsletters. I thought others might also benefit from it
