Ah, yes. The chap the Smashwords founder is holding up as a success story.

Well, no surprise he should do so: Smashwords makes its living off of the hopes of similar writers. But we'd need a lot more info about exactly Brian Pratt achieved that level of success to make any real judgment.

Meanwhile, the best advice for anyone else is they they won't achieve that level of success, and shouldn't expect to going in.
