Congratulations Janahan! I released a small guide on Gumroad a year ago to get experience selling digital products.
What I like about your product is that it targets a group with a stable income and can afford such courses. In contrast, mine was made for developers looking for a job or people looking to switch to web development. This was one of the key takeaways from making my course.
The other is not to listen to loud, small groups of people. While my guide is titled "How to Build Better Portfolio Projects - as a web developer", it's my experience and my insights on what makes a developer portfolio stand out. Unfortunately, I gave too much credibility to people attacking this guide, saying it contains bad advice.
But I never said it's the only way to build better portfolio projects, and it's just my experience.
I believe the same applies to “How To Get Promoted Beyond Senior Engineer”, which I assume is not the only way to get promoted, but your experience.
By the way, that point about how spoken language doesn't always map to written language... that's mind-blowing stuff I don't think most people realize.
I've been studying Japanese lately, and my Japanese teacher was talking about how most people who teach it do so by textbooks. But, the textbooks present Japanese in written form, which is different from how people speak day-to-day. So, many new learners are learning how to speak in a way that doesn't sound natural when spoken.
I was surprised when I first heard this, but it seems it applies to all kinds of languages. It's so cool to see others sharing in the same kinds of experiences in language learning.

"I spotted this mini soccer field while walking the Manhattan bridge."
Alright, I've decided one day in the future, we gotta play on that field together.
Also, would love to hear some of that Spanish if you're looking to try it out on someone new--let's catch up sometime!
Congratulations.. inspiring
Great to see you not only launch but also learning from this for the next launch.
Congrats on the successful launch, Janahan!
