Mark Harbottle, CEO of SitePoint.com (the people who published my kit - The Web Design Business Kit), was on the Gold Coast today to present me with a plaque commemorating the kit achieving over $1 million in sales.
$1 million in sales
The $1 million in sales was achieved quite a while ago and was the first book published by SitePoint.com to reach the goal.
I receive probably 5 or 6 emails a day from readers either saying "Thanks for writing it" or asking me a question - I know people always say it, but it doesn't matter about the money. The reward when writing a book like this is in actually helping people grow their business.
It is what motivated me to write the kit in the first place and what motivates me today to answer every single email I receive.
So thanks if you have bought the kit. It's been a big thrill for me to win the Web Design Library award last year for 'Best Book on Web Design' and to achieve well over $1 million in sales.
It still amazes me some that I've written a book that has been so well accepted. Thanks again.

By the way, I remember you mentioned a second book (not necessarily SitePoint) that you were writing. How's that coming?
Thanks for the feedback - glad the kit has been of some use.
I've got a good chunk of a 2nd book written. Will let you know more later.

That's quite the accomplishment with your Web Design Kit and it couldn't go to a more deserving guy! I know I refer to mine often and it's definitely made a difference in my business! Thanks for a job well done!
Best regards,
Steve
Glad you've found the kit useful - I read through parts evey now and then and think "Geee, this is good!"
When I write stuff I don't always think it's right, but I was very happy with the kit and truly believe that it is of huge value to those who buy, read and implement it.
Thanks again.
