I guess that's true, but it is really important to build a reputation for quality work. Also this was my second book, so I had people buy off of the quality from my previous book.

Was your first book anywhere near as successful in the first 24 hours as this one?

If you read the post you can see the number comparison (further down the page). Or you can read my summary of the first launch here: http://nathanbarry.com/learned-selling-6000-ebook-today/
I sold about $12,000 in the first 24 hours for my first book.

If anything, the first book is a better indicator of pure marketing-based success, considering that you didn't have a following at that point.
For the record, I'm not asserting that it's bad that you made so much money based on theses factors. I don't expect you not to market you products. If anything, I was commenting on the importance of marketing to initial success.
