The Sad Reality Between Successful Books and Complete Failures

Dear Friend,

Sadly, the difference between a successful book and a failed one is NOT quality. In fact, some of the most life-changing books I've read are complete failures with regard to commercial success.

Even more sad——the most popular books out there (like the ones on the Amazon Best Sellers list) are nothing more than regurgitated drivel.

So what's the difference between a commercially successful book and one that is not?

Simply this: Successful commercial books follow a format where they tell a compelling story in the very beginning of the book.

That's it. I shit you not.

Don't believe me? Just open any successful nonfiction book out there, and you'll find the same thing: a compelling story in the very beginning.

Taking my Antinet Zettelkasten book as an example——which, yes, has been a VERY commercially successful book——especially considering that it makes, and is still making, more money than what New York Times bestselling authors make from their books. (How I've pulled this off is a story for another time.)

Anyway, taking my Antinet Zettelkasten book as an example, you'll find that Chapter 1 is actually one big origin story——my origin story of how I discovered the Antinet Zettelkasten.

What you may not know is… Chapter 1 also follows a simple and deep psychological formula for creating a story, which I call:

The Impeccable Origin Story

In Issue No. 9 of The Scott Scheper Letter, I'll be teaching you this formula, and——the best part is——I'll be showing you how I created that entire chapter using notecards!

In Issue No. 9, I'll be giving you a full breakdown——card-by-card——of how you can create your own Impeccable Origin Story.

Once you have this formula, your life (as an independent writer, creator, and thinker) will change——forever.

Not only will it become easier to launch new projects (whether that be a book, course, or any knowledge product), you will also attract (and impact) literally THOUSANDS of people——without any additional effort!

Seriously.

What you will learn in Issue No. 9 of The Scott Scheper Letter is something you'll want to deploy in your intellectual and creative endeavors for the rest of your life.
