I've considered writing a book on how to grow software through different evolutions, and using different software paradigms that make sense for the different stages of growth. I don't think there's an audience for it though, or at least an audience that would respect the opinions of a non-credentialed author.
Action over procrastination.
You never know if you gonna hit success!
Is anyone able to suggest software for writing technical books?
"Passive" has truly gone down the path of "literally".
Better title: Earned $26,000 per year writing 20,000–30,000 word books and selling them for $9.99.
Subtitle: Split book into another $9.99 book if there is more to say. Here's why.

There's a lot of spelling errors in this article.
just tried it again today and hack, it went up #1.
Write Short and Concise Books.
Instead of writing a 500-page book selling for $50 (which probably few will buy), write a 100-page book and sell it for lesser which greatly increases the number of buyers! ...It fits in Amazon’s price range of $2.99 — $9.99 (gets 70% royalties for ebooks). Anything lesser or more gets 35% royalty. This is for the ebook version. Paperbacks have a different price structure. You can price them higher with higher royalty rates.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
passive in the sense that I wrote it once, and it continues to collect royalties for a long time after, without me having to do much :)
Seems like a fair definition of passive income. Not sure why the commenter feels it's not.
I still think it’s a cool and fascinating article - congrats to the author on their success!
