Unalone had a great quote regarding Seth Godin's popularity on this thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=305741.

"It's [his popularity is] because he writes short articles that usually make sense on the surface and so people read him because they think it will make them rich."

I tend to agree. What he says usually lack substance, I can't help. Don't want to be harsh, but sometimes I consider it just a distraction.

I think that a lot of the time, it is. He's got one or two nicely-written articles and a lot of noise that sounds excellent.

The same goes for Tim Ferriss, Robert Kiyosaki, Paul Graham, Joel Spolsky, the 37signals crowd, and many other authors.

Really, writing about getting rich is probably one of the most surefire ways to get rich.

PG was rich before he was known as a writer. Spolsky and the 37signals crowd more than likely would have been rich either way, just not near as quickly.

I 100% agree for Tim Ferriss and that pile of shit, vapor peddling, scam fuck, Robert Kiyosaki.
