![]() “There’s also a place for a business model that capitalizes on audience and process,” he said. Ferriss said he’s also looking to rethink publishing, but from a different angle. There are a lot of startups experimenting with different aspects of book publishing - some, like Scribd, are experimenting with the all-you-can-eat subscription model, while others like Inkling are developing new formats. For example, he said that his experiment with releasing a free audiobook bundle with BitTorrent for The 4 Hour Chef doubled book sales during the campaign, so he’s releasing a similar BitTorrent Bundle for Vagabonding. The first title, for example, is Rolf Potts’ Vagabonding, which was first published more than a decade ago, but with audio rights that were “lying fallow.” On his blog, Ferriss wrote that Vagabonding “easily remains in my top-10 list for life-changing books,” and he told me that every single book that he releases should be a “potential book of the decade” for his readers.įerris is famous for treating himself as a guinea pig, and in this case, he said he’s drawing on the data that he’s gathered from his own book launches. It sounds like the focus won’t be on the newest books on the shelves. In some cases, that may involve making a deal directly with the authors in others it may also mean partnering with publishers. With his new venture, Tim Ferriss Publishing, he’s looking to acquire the audio rights to existing books, produce new audio versions (read either by the author or “the best narrators”), and release one title for sale every month - on his blog, he described it as The Tim Ferriss Book Club.įerriss told me that audiobooks are usually “a throwaway for both authors and publishers,” but he argued that with the growth of devices like iPhones, they are swinging “back into favor in a major, major way.” By pairing the format with the reach that he has through his blog (which he said has more than 1 million monthly readers) and social media, he can fill a “vacuum,” providing book recommendations to males who are between 20 and 40 years old. He already took a step away from tradition by publishing his most recent book, The 4 Hour Chef, with Amazon.

Like many other of my clients, fitness now has become a lifestyle rather than just working out. He has shown amazing growth, in and outside our sessions. This client reached out (who by the way is now 23 and when I met him he was 13) and said that enough was enough, he wanted to take back his life and needed guidance.ģ65 days later, this client has lost almost 40 lbs of fat, 10 inches off his stomach/waist and most importantly, 10% of his body fat. ![]() Let's fast forward 10 years later to October 20th, 2021. years and then stopped training, however, we remained friends through social media and whatnot.
