For an example, we talk about video blogging, podcasting, and regular blogging. There isn’t really a cookie cutter method, outside of our blueprint, that would apply to everyone…wouldn’t you agree?

As you said in your review, that’s where blogs like yours come in to place.

I still think there is something that can be learned from the book, even for people that already blog.

We just want bloggers to take a bigger approach to blogging and not just think about AdSense and banner ads.

Jim, I’d be happy to talk about the book. nathan at nathanhangen dot com

Is asking to be compensated greedy?

I don’t think so.

Do you know why books like Trust Agents and Crush it are priced under 20? It’s because they know they’ll sell thousands/hundreds of thousands/millions…enough to recoup the costs and make everyone a little bit of cash.

It’s the same with ebooks, only they don’t have the same distribution channels, they are priced higher.

I’m disappointed that you see it as greed.

And like you, I wouldn’t buy any book on the subjects you list.

I’d have to disagree with the last part though – there are a lot of people very successfully selling books at those kind of prices. You and I wouldn’t buy them, but plenty of people do.

Thanks for sharing your feedback.

Then again, there is very little of practical advice on how to get started or how exactly to do it so another resource would be needed for guys that do want to start a blog after reading this book.

If you already do read Chris Brogan and other bloggers profiled, there is no real reason to buy this book. Better is to just go to your own blog and write the best post you can and then go out into social media and connect with people that would love to read the value you just provided.

I’m really surprised at that.

Almost nobody is successfully selling $97 ebooks on any other topics anyhow.

Greed isn’t a business model.
