I wrote a book about adult ADHD last year & make ~$500/mo from it between Amazon, Audible, & Gumroad: https://adhdpro.xyz/

Recorded the audiobook myself too.



Nice idea. How did you go about marketing the book/getting reviews?


The site looks very polished! What did you use to build it?

Also, what did you use to write your book? And how long did it take to write?


Thanks! I built it with Gatsby + TailwindCSS. Sent a lot of time tinkering & editing copy over and over.

I wrote it with Microsoft Word. I initially tried a few different apps but all of the organizational tools they provided got in the way. I broke most conventions and just wrote the book straight from start to finish, and re-read it countless times until I felt satisfied. Then I sent it to a ton of friends who helped me edit. A professional editor would've been a better idea, but I didn't really have the money for that at the time.


Do you by chance sell the audiobook outside of the Audible pro subscription?
