| 30 Nov 2023 | My Least Successful Book- Why It Tanked | 00:45:34 | |
It’s not always sunshine and roses… On this episode of DWTB, AJ Harper and Mike Michalowicz discuss the challenges and lessons learned from their least successful book, Surge. How could this book tank, after the astronomical success of Profit First? (Hint: you’ll find out!) You’ll also hear about the mindset shifts they both had to make to keep working together because this episode details their never-before-spoken-about partnership break. (Spoiler alert: they got the band back together.) The failure of Surge reinforced for AJ and Mike that they must stick to their rules, or as AJ calls them, their Immutable Laws when writing transformational nonfiction. Listen to the episode to learn what some of those rules are! Be sure to visit https://dwtbpodcast.com for more information and add your name to start receiving their newsletter.

| 30 Nov 2023 | My Most Successful Book- Why It Worked | 00:52:45 | |
On this episode of Don’t Write That Book, AJ Harper and Mike Michalowicz focus on how they came to write Mike’s best-selling book, Profit First, using the “reader first” method. They self-published the book as their publisher didn’t believe it could sell and wanted them to write a different book entirely. (The book went on to sell over a million copies…) AJ and Mike explain how they came to understand what their readers needed after The Pumpkin Plan as opposed to the book the publisher pitched, then set out to write that book. In this episode, you’ll learn that a must-read book not only must be compelling, but that it must deliver on its promise. They’ll touch on using the Hero’s Journey to not only keep the reader on the page, but how it can help authors structure their books and ultimately build trust. (You’ll even get some insider baseball knowledge on how to accurately track book sales and some of Mike’s gonzo methods for marketing!)

| 25 Oct 2023 | Welcome to Don't Write That Book! | 00:03:11 | |
Each year, roughly four million books are published. Four million. Considering that staggering number, how can an author hope to make it—make a living, make their mark, make a difference? First and foremost, by avoiding the “better business card” and other shortcut approaches to writing and publishing a book.
In their podcast, Don’t Write That Book, writing partners Mike Michalowicz (Profit First, Clockwork, The Pumpkin Plan, and more) and AJ Harper (Write a Must-Read) offer a rare behind-the-scenes look into what it really takes to write a must-read book—and sell the heck out of it. Building on their decades of experience in publishing, Mike and AJ share frank conversations and deep dives about every aspect of authorship in the hopes of inspiring you to write a better book—the book you were called to write.

| 07 Dec 2023 | Does Your Book Work? | 00:39:03 | |
“To write a book that’s effective, you have to know it’s effective, first.” On this episode of Don’t Write That Book, AJ Harper and Mike Michalowicz break down a common mistake authors of prescriptive nonfiction make: not taking their content for a test drive to ensure it actually is doable. They’ll talk about how they’ve developed their process to build out action steps, identify gaps in their expertise and the reader’s understanding, and implement a test drive to fine tune those action steps until there is no doubt they’ll work. (They even throw in some bonus insider baseball knowledge about crucial steps in publishing many who opt to self-publish skip, steps that are a dead giveaway the author is a newbie.)
