I think it would actually help everyone if you were to comment.

As a guess: you wanted to be negative because it sounds like a sales pitch ("get rich quick")? In that case, I kind of agree with you, but people seem to like the article, regardless :)

Well, it's more like "don't get rich, slow". But interested to understand why it feels that way. I personally HATE internet marketery stuff.

Marketing is about pointing out the end result before the action. In your case, you point out a friend made "millions" and then speak for his weakly biased advice to "do SaaS" as if that's going to net someone the end result of millions. The reason it "feels" that way is because it is that way on your site, even if you rationalize it otherwise.

At no point does the OP say a friend made millions.

There was the mention of an unrelated mobile app guru who had made millions from mobile apps.

But that was simply to point out the irony, that even THAT guy, thoguht it was better to build a SaaS app than a mobile app.
