Nice work, Pieter. I was listening to you on the indie hacker podcast the other day and learned about the book. Glad that it's finally coming out :)
I have a question though. How did you manage to drive traffic to your pre-order page? Did you utilize your social following or depended on other channels?
Thanks!
I pre-ordered in 2015 and haven't received my copy yet. Seems like Levels just keeps taking pre-orders without delivering. Has anyone confirmed this has actually shipped yet? I haven't received any e-mails from him yet.
@levelsio That's not entirely true, since you hadn't sent them when I wrote my initial comment.
I feel like instead of putting us last on your launch checklist that you could've reached out to us a bit before now. Even a "Hey, I'm just putting the final touches on the book" e-mail - for many of us, the last we heard from you about our order was August 2016.
@nikstep Relaxed was two weeks ago when I asked for an order update and got no reply, after he posted book revenue figures for January. Rightfully annoyed is when I see him pushing new sales again when I still haven't received mine after 2.5 years.
Of course, now I know the book is coming, but I would've known that already if he'd e-mailed pre-order customers with an update prior to launching... my post here probably would've been "Woohoo! I've been waiting for this one for ages! So excited!" or something equally fan-gushy.
It's arrived now... so... woohoo!
Bought this on pre-order and read the draft. Biggest learning for me - I am not a big company, and cannot spend tons of time doing research and getting to that one fantastic idea. That might sound obvious, even silly, but it was not for me. Recognizing that I am an Indie Maker has made a huge difference to how I do things. This means spending less money, allocating time more efficiently and having much more fun building stuff (rather than doubting myself).
This was a mindshift for me too, not thinking myself of building some vague pie-in-the-sky billion dollar company anymore, but just making something basic that was useful for me. It gave me a more reachable goal to get to.

I bought the book when it was just chapter one in a Google Doc, I love that this book was created using the same methods it teaches.
In my opinion any self-starter or entrepreneur needs only two books, this and Rework.
Pros:
Succinct, relatively unbiased, action-oriented, opinionated but humble
Hi @levelsio. I pre-ordered this book a long time ago (email reception@thereceptiongame.com) but not yet receive a download link. Can you send it to me, please?
