Look at the sales spike, there's no way that's a sustainable income. 80% of the sales was from one 24 hour period where he gets only 30% of those sales.
From scanning the article he didn't really say how long it took to write. There's 32 founders on the 'founders' page, sounds like he put well over 3 or 4 hours per founder. Quite a lot of transcribing and interviewing by the look of it so I'd guess at least a month.
Kudos for him for making a couple of weeks salary in a week, but put it into that context. He still only made $3,000 in a week after already putting the unknown time into the book.
Ignore the $10k claim, $7k effectively went on advertising (appsumo).
I'll need to adjust this. We talked about it again and Noah insisted on paying me more. My cut will be $3 per copy on that $7 sale (42% gross) before PayPal fees (I am not sure what that will net to). Effectively, my cut will be closer to $3k or $4k, rather than the current $2k.
I'll update the article when i can with the most accurate information.

imho, the real winners in the story were appsumo.
