i was interested, so i clicked through to the page ... and there's no way to just buy the book! the best i can do is a $180 package with the book and a bunch of other stuff i do not want. so i went to see if it's on amazon, and there is a hardcover edition there, but no kindle edition, despite the packages on the author's site all including ebooks. not sure if it's a deliberate barrier-to-entry (as in, "if you're not going to take the time to go through the video courses etc. too the book will do you no good") but it seemed like an odd set of decisions to me.
- manmal 10y agoJust asking - you were curious, but now you are not because the book is not available in the form you like best?
- zem 10y agoi'm still curious; i just know i have a ton of new paper books sitting unread in my bookshelf because whenever i go to start a new one i do it on my kindle, so i've resolved to buy new books in ebook format only. i might still buy the paper book at some point, but it's lower-priority now. (at a higher level, i'd like to write a book sometime, but it's competing with everything else i'd like to do sometime)
- luckyisgood 10y agoThere used to be "just a book" option before at $49 if I remember correctly, that's when I bought it. So I'm pretty sure Nathan's decision to remove that option is intentional, or an experiment of sorts. The book is really good; however, I would not have bought it then if I had had to pay $180. Is it worth it? Yes, if you're 100% absolutely certain that you want to create a business around a book.
- nathanbarry 10y agoYeah, It was an experiment I started running when I focused on ConvertKit. So far it's increased revenue, but it obviously has the side effect of fewer purchases.
