Good things come to those who write

There's a two star Amazon review from a verified purchaser on Nathan Barry's book "Authority" that I think illustrates Mr. Barry's marketing writing prowess well[1].

It reads: "Meh. Nothing new here. Could have been a series of 3-4 blog posts and gotten the same value."

Well, he still got you to buy the book didn't he?

Successful writer knows other successful writers who make lots of money. Sounds like selection bias.

Hard disagree. I believe what constitutes good writing is not teaching, but sharing. In printed word we can all be equals, that's the magic.
