Win a Kindle 2 - Author gives away one an hour
He's also giving away a ton of money and give certificates.
Ramit Sethi, author of I Will Teach You To Be Rich, is giving away a Kindle an hour and a bunch of other prizes today, to launch the publication of his new book. He thought the Kindle version would not be available for a few weeks, but it is out now and is already the #1 bestselling book at Amazon (using their hourly ratings), for both print and the Kindle. All you have to do is buy the book, in print or Kindle and email him a copy of your receipt. Links/details here: http://booksontheknob.blogspot.com/2...-one-hour.html |

Yeah, Kindly. That's the word.
Seems to have worked, he got the #1 spot and was able to get his screenshots (I'll assume) to use for marketing. I saw an article yesterday that Mein Kampf had also temporarily hit a #1 spot - I suspect from an underground and less publicized push (on article said it was "gone now", but I assume they meant it had lost it's #1 spot on the "thrillers" list). The book itself seems geared to 20 year olds, a group that is generally ignored in many of the Suze Orman style books. I looked thru the sample - it has some formatting issues in the tables, but otherwise looked about average for the genre. His blog is apparently quite popular (I've only seen a few guest blogs he does elsewhere, before). |

That's pretty cool. He must be already loaded. Lots of authors are broke and need our support.

I read his blog for a while, but didn't like it much. If anyones interested in personal finance blogs, getrichslowly.org/blog is extremely good.

I also read getrichslowly (he is supposed to have a short "article" in the book) and that's where I've read the author's guest posts (which are often quite thorough). |
