I'm a big fan or your style and work, Andrew, and I like the attention-grabbing titles you choose, but this one is a bit over the top. Should really be "How a 26-Year-Old Built a $100 Million Net Worth In Under 10 Years". The current version reads too much like it's a 16-year-old who's worth $100 million (a bit bait-ish). It's like if you write an article about Bill Gates titled "How a 16-Year-Old Became a Billionaire in 15 Years" ;-)
Love the site and love what you're trying to do with your business model (whether it works or not). Keep the interviews coming.
- AndrewWarner 17y agoI don't see the headline as misleading, but maybe I'm too close to it right now. I changed it on my site. I left the reference to him being 16 because that's when he got into the ad business. But I said he was 25 when his net worth hit $100 mil. By the way, including dollar signs in so many of my headlines feels out of touch with my mission. I wish I knew a better way to communicate the size and importance of my guests' achievements in 10 words or less.
