I think one piece of advise missing here is: define your value add upfront. There are 1000 books on Go out there. What are you bringing to the table that others don’t?

The other piece of advice I have is: hire an editor and fact checker. The last thing you want to do is put substandard quality content out there filled with bad grammar and errors. This post seems to suggest that by self-publishing, the author did the task of editing themselves. I would say this is not advised if you want the best results. Hire a third party to do this work for you instead of doing it yourself. They will bring a fresh perspective to your work and help you see things that you cannot.
