-How to write useful books
-How to build a recommendation loop into your book (and how Rob did this)
-How to use reader conversations to create your table of contents
-Beta Readers: Why they’re the most important part of Rob’s process and why you should do it for your book
-The 3 things Rob looks for in the beta reading process
-The first question you need to ask in the beta reading process
-The difference between writing useful nonfiction and fiction
-Why you should self publish
...and SO MUCH more! This was a value packed interview. One of the best I've been a part of in a long time. Don't miss this interview!
