I quote "I spent about 2 months putting everything together..." and then "...I was able to make over $1,000 in May doing absolutely nothing"

I'm all for enrepreneurs getting started on the web, and writing about your first $1k on your site is fine, but promoting it here on Sphinn? Come on folks! If making $1k after writing an ebook over two months is news for a marketing community, we may have a problem.

A more interesting story might be how one of the most popular Sphinners of 2007 only made 40 sales of his online reputation management ebook despite working on it for two months, and getting some very well known SEO names to write public testimonials.

And what's with the blue-text-on-blue-background footer links with anchor text "online reputation management"?

John, that's a yellow link by default - turns blue after you visit the ebook page.

That is after you have visited the page, not a normal link. I'll go and change that now. I had sorted it for the header but forgot about the footer, not that it is really relevant.

Loving the negativity, I guess that's what happens when you start getting anywhere. I didn't write the post to 'show-off' making $1,000. I wrote it to share my experiences. If you've seen the number of emails I've had about this then it would make sense writing about the process, the money factor is irrelevant and just something I wanted to include. I don't even class the eBook as hugely successful. It is what it is.

Incase you didn't read fully, that wasn't two months of solid work if you are interested. The main reason I believe sales weren't as huge as you seem to expect is that not everyone understands why they would need reputation management, or at least not until they have a problem...maybe you should speak to Andy Beal if you need another thought on that comment.

Thanks anyway John, have a nice day
