In my case, my only book qua book, Tempo, had following external effects: 1. Non-trivial initial $ spike and ongoing passive income 2. Getting connected to Boydian crowd 3. A few *really* dedicated readers 4. A couple of interesting talks 5. Road-trip excuse (biggest value)

Very minor effect: it's something older not-very-online people latch on to as a way to peg me in their own minds and introduce me. Effectively a glorified business card. In this role, I doubt it actually gets read much. More a passport.

I have strong internal reasons for wanting to write a second book that are enough to keep me at it, but frankly the external reasons are weak to non-existent for the kind of book I want to write. So wondering what I could do to make it have more interesting+unexpected impact.
