Co-author here. I actually started exploring this book topic in late 2009 through an initial series of open-ended interviews that were discussed on HN (when it was much more startup focused). Here is that set: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6r4nAnkQO3VpddRSVwUVDg https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6r4nAnkQO3VpddRSVwUVDg (e.g. patio11 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuzNs-LhC_8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuzNs-LhC_8, Alexis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enEqAq1x9UQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enEqAq1x9UQ, Garry Tan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Win0moC4cA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Win0moC4cA).
I started angel investing around the same time and I quickly came to the conclusion that the pursuit of getting traction needed much more structure more akin to product development. I also got increasingly busy with DuckDuckGo, and so it took finding a co-author and many years to actually get this book across the finish line.
Here's my post from a few days ago summarizing the book: http://www.gabrielweinberg.com/blog/2014/07/pre-order-traction-book.html http://www.gabrielweinberg.com/blog/2014/07/pre-order-tracti...
Happy to take any questions.
- basiliothecat 12y agoHey Gabriel! Wodner if you plan selling a DRM-free book? That'd i believe be expected and really appreciated.
- yegg 12y agoYes, the Kindle version will be non-DRM.
- edgecrafter 12y agoETA for kindle version ?
- yegg 12y agoThey don't let you set them up for pre-orders if you aren't a major publisher, so 8/12.
- edgecrafter 12y agothat is August 12'th I assume, same day as print version is out .... "what, December" were my first thought :-)
- hadoukenio 12y agoIs there going to be a PDF version? I'm not a fan of Kindle (can't copy/paste to make notes and page flipping is slow). I'm even willing to pay for a DRMed version of the PDF rather than a DRM-free kindle!
