I sincerely apologize, but "I just think people like reading tangible case studies, so I'll oblige." is misleading.
What is tangible? I read case studies every. single. day. to the point of nausea. You are sharing experience--which is left up to the reader to decide if it is true or not--rather than any "tangible case studies".
Side note: Your writing very clearly mimics Tim Ferriss and your whole basis may very well have been inspired by him. Just an observation and possibly the parallels are resonating with those who are commenting on here and have read him.
- jhancock 17y ago"About 80% of the income comes from books, 20% from things like ads and affiliate links". You may be disappointed that pmichael isn't showing you his bank balance. I'm not. He does tell you how he's making money...well, you have to have the background of knowing how money is made for these sorts of business activities, but most on HN seem clued in about ebooks and adsense. Its a good enough story as is.
- jamesbressi 17y agoOn the contrary, I don't believe someone has to show a bank account to share an experience or make a suggestion. I too am clued into both physical and e-publishing, adsense, etc. But, what he is sharing is an experience, not a case study. That was the root of my comment which you replied to.
- zaidf 17y agoWay to insult Tim Ferris. I found his book very detailed and number oriented--opposite of this blog post.
