Sovereignty of the Individual

OVERNIGHT SUCCESS (revealed)

I keep reading Chris Guillebeau’s content and continue to be impressed.  Chris is to be commended for his open and frank view into how he got his blog (http://chrisguillebeau.com) off the ground.  It’s not often in today’s world that you will find someone that shares his income in a free manifesto as well as his successes and failures in his business ventures for the betterment of his readers.  This kind of transparency is refreshing and encouraging.    In this 79 page manifesto Chris covers all the subjects that would normally get someone in trouble such as why google adsense is a bad idea for a blogger, why you should fire google, suggests trying turning off post comments, and how you should ignore some of your readers if they don’t fit your desired profile.   Chris is definitely confident in his knowledge of how to make a successful blog and a successful brand.  He presents his prose in his “unconventional” and refreshing style.

Reading this manifesto led me to purchase the unconventional products also listed on chrisguillebeau.com including:

Bear in mind Chis is not an afflliate and this is not an advertisement or a paid endorsement for Chris’s products.  I just like them THAT MUCH.   I’ve already started reading the Travel Ninja, and it’s living up to my expectations.  And if it didn’t, of course, he’d give me my money back.
