Hi [Victor Leung](https://hashnode.com/@victorleungtw), publishing a book it's hard. Maybe you have done an excellent job but unfortunately, as you mentioned, selling it is hard...!

I don't know how other people do it so I don't have any good advice for you... I'd say though that building an audience helps... and social media helps a tone with that... try to promote it in Twitter, LinkedIn, your company, etc...

p.s. I clicked on the link and it seems broken, you may want to check it :)
