In this episode of Writer on the Side, I catch up with Jay Yang, a 19-year-old author who shares how “permissionless action,” cold emails, and a focused writing routine helped him self-publish You Can Just Do Things and grow his audience.
Jay shares how his approach opened doors at Beehiiv and AppSumo, why he chose self-publishing, the simple marketing plan behind his launch, and the daily habits that made the book happen.
