Ep. 049 Over $8,400 in 1 Week from His First Book – Arvid Kahl

July 22, 2020

Listen on: [Apple Podcasts]  [Google Play]  [Stitcher]  [Spotify]  [Overcast]

Arvid Kahl wrote a book called “Zero to Sold” about his experience bootstrapping and selling a SaaS (Software as a Service) business. He made over $8,400 selling the book on both Amazon and Gumroad (in one week only).

Arvid co-founded and bootstrapped FeedbackPanda, an online teacher productivity SaaS company, with his partner Danielle Simpson. They sold the business for a life-changing amount of money in 2019, two years after founding the company.

In this episode, I talk with Arvid about the process he followed to market his book, and we discuss a detailed breakdown of his book’s sales numbers.
