Lean Publishing Tip of the Day: Publish Early, Publish Often

We're going to start adding a "Tip of the Day" in the Lean Publishing Daily newsletter!

These tips will hopefully be useful for both Leanpub readers and Leanpub authors - our platform has a lot to offer everyone interested in books (and courses)!

Today's tip: Publish Early, Publish Often

When people think about writing a book, they often think of a process where the project is in development for months or years, in what startup founders call "stealth mode".

In that model of writing a book, you write alone, without feedback, until you're done your manuscript.

Then, maybe you get some feedback from friends, editors, or influencers in your subject area or genre.

And finally, one day, you actually publish your book, and cross your fingers hoping you'll find an audience.

Now, that's a fine way to do things, but Leanpub gives you a platform where you can flip that process around.

On Leanpub, you can publish your book after writing just one chapter. Then, anyone who buys your book gets updates when you add chapters, until you're done.

This transforms the experience of writing - and reading - a book in revolutionary ways.

- If you can find an audience, you'll start making money right away.

- Your audience will motivate you to write more and finish your book, something authors have always struggled with.

- You'll get feedback early and potentially change your writing plan to improve your book for your audience.

There are many other benefits to this "Lean Publishing" approach.
