One of the weirdest parts about writing a book: asking for things. I'm a marketer, yes, but inbound marketing for Siege over 14+ years has been about soft value over decades. I’ve probably directly asked for shares on a resource we created less than 10 times over that time period. With books, you need quotes on the back. So you need to ask people to check them out. And you need to do an actual marketing push. This means you actually have to ask friends to do things for you. The small point of relief I feel in doing that: I haven’t made an ask in ~20 years from many of them. So hopefull
