If you do not, you will not benefit fully from usage of the said coconut oil. “The way that we must use coconut oil is to use it with the best of intentions. I was shocked that anyone (a) put this stuff for sale, and (b) the books actually sold.įor example, here’s an excerpt from a top-selling Kindle book: I couldn’t tell if someone had outsourced their book to a non-native English speaking writer (which is common), or if it was actually someone’s legitimate effort at a book. Maybe I should give writing a try.”Īfter checking out the self-help section in the Kindle store, I noticed how godawful the writing was. After reading an article on Kindle authors and how their income was pretty much passive after the book launched, I thought, “What the hell. I was grinding out 70 hours a week in an office with no sunlight, focused on becoming a senior associate and eventual partner.īy the time I was 24 years old, I was bored and unhappy.
Notes #2: We don’t reveal the author’s identity on purpose as to not screw him over.īefore my life as a semi-famous, best-selling self-help Kindle author, I was an corporate cog in the wheel with a meaningless graduate degree. To be notified when that post is ready, enter your email below. We’ll announce the hilarious results in next week’s post. Note #1: To prove just how easy it is to game Amazon, we spent a week using the tactics learned in this interview to create our own best selling Kindle book. So here it is, without further ado: one man’s story of how he became a Kindle Gold Rusher. But then, to see the guy in our story make a ton of money selling “eh” books, the hippie inside me thinks that’s f-ed up.īut the capitalist part of me? He’s jacked up and already scheming a way to become a rich as hell Kindle “author.”īut hey, there’s plenty of room in this world for both Hoobastank and The Beatles…so who am I to judge. Henry David Thoreau locked himself in a cabin for two years to create this masterpiece. Part of me (about 95%) is disillusioned by this story, while the other part is pumped. Instead, he has a team of outsourced writers and creatives who pump out dozens of books a year to game Amazon and dominate various book categories. Except for one thing: he doesn’t actually write the books he publishes. On the surface it’s a badass story of success: a young professional quits his job, becomes a self-published author, and earns six figures per year. He’s 26 years old, sells 6,000 books a month, and nets $150,000+ a year. In this week’s story, we hear from one of the top selling Kindle Gold Rushers. Some of them make hundreds of thousands of dollars selling ebooks on niche categories. So there’s a group of people who make a living churning out dozens of lowbrow Kindle books a month.
This month’s theme for The Hustle is people who game the system.
