I think it's a fantastic business model, and I'm happy to see it working out for you. I think this would work pretty well for fiction, too, if you turn it into a serialized novel and publish chapter-by-chapter.

Another benefit is that it breaks the process down for you and makes it feel more manageable - instead of having everything in place before you publish, you get to release beta versions regularly and get valuable live feedback with each chapter feeling less daunting on its own.

I started implementing this model after I read the first version of this article in the Tech Writers Stack. That was two months ago. Here I stand with over 50 sales for my book on graph theory: https://albegr.gumroad.com/l/competitive-programmer-graphs-handbook

I cannot thank you enough for sharing all your substack (and general) wisdom with us.
