Please do not post the same thing multiple times. The board software automatically flags certain posts as needing moderator attention. This happens the most often for new users. I'm pretty sure this is made clear at the time you attempt to post. Posting the same thing over and over again just makes that many more posts the moderators have to weed through later. This makes us sad. Don't make us sad. If your post/thread doesn't appear, just wait a while. Don't post it again. If it hasn't shown up by the next day, then you can try again. I normally go through posts in the mornings, and try to check a few times throughout the day, but I'm not here 24/7. There will typically be a significant delay before posts are approved. Just be patient.
Hey guys, I want to start of by saying I am not here to advertise the book. I am here to thank you for your help in the content. A ton of you helped me refine the cover to the current one that looks amazing.
Thank you Benny Hsu the creator of Photo-365 and Randall Higgins the creator of Baseball Stats for your stories.

I think he did a good job with the book but I still don't trust anything he wrote. it seems like there are some lies in there. a person who is not willing to share his app names in the book seems kind of shady. I dont know for some reason, i wouldn't recommend anyone spend $17 on this book. I think if i was reading the book without knowing anything about him, i would have thought the book is great. it does have some good helpful information in it. but I can't get the doubt out of my head.
There are apps of mine listed in the book. I also told everyone the apps I made in a thread a while back. I started the Virtual Coach series in college. It was a series of successful interactive game guides. From there I started Idea 2 App Store where we design apps for clients.
I think my initial problem with this is that the opening chapter really reads like it was a cookie cutter from the style of information marketing that has parasitised the internet for the last few years.
It's a formula and voice that immediately engenders distrust in the smarter reader, and I expect most of the people on this forum fit that category.
This may be a pity, because it looks like there is useful experience in the sample chapters. I'm going to buy it and read it and make my judgement from that.
I suspect that the author is smart enough to have made a business decision that telling hopeful app writers how to make money is possibly as profitable as developing apps (more profitable?). That doesn't mean he's not being honest about his achievements.
Objectdisoriented: The book was originally written as a guide for my clients that came in. A lot of them had no idea what they were getting into. I tried to keep the context simple and easy to understand. Thanks for saying you are going to purchase the book before making any assumptions, a lot of people on this forum are jumping to conclusions from the opening chapters.
You also aren't helping your case by starting the post with "I'm not here to promote the book". Then 75% of the post are links to where we can purchase it.
This doesn't belong in the Business, Legal & App Store section.
Sure it may be advertising but there aren't that many books on app business development development out there.
At least one in the top selling five books is a total scam, while this book at least seems to be based on some honest experience.
Exactly, I am not advertising per se, more so just trying to help fellow devs out. There is a lot of good information in the book that I know will help people.
But the only thing you are doing in this thread is advertising...i'm not saying you shouldn't advertise your book. Advertise all you can but keep it out of places it doesn't belong, like this section.
Well i've read the first view chapters of your book also, and I complete agree with the negative comments on the writing style. The first chapter about Taylot Pierce and claiming you did revolutionized the Appstore is just ridiculous. The next chapter is just as bad by claiming that by not reading this book you're chances on succes will be little.
This writing style make your book untrustfull, what is wrong with being a bit more humble about your experiences and accomplishments? Not to be rude, but I really hope this writing style isn't a reflection of how you are in reallife :)
^ thanks for the kind words :/ The comment about not being successful is not toward developers like yourself, but someone who has no idea on app development.
You sure as hell can't please everybody that's for sure. Thanks for being a complete dick though.
