It doesn't matter how good or bad the product is; the fact is that people don't read anymore.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I read pretty voraciously. If it's good, I don't care what it is.
When the product is right, you don't have to be a great marketer.
When a product is made, everyone hopes for the best. Whether it could have been better or not is more of an afterthought.
Marketing is what you do when your product is no good.
Aside from sales, the letters from readers have been primarily positive.
I think the success around any product is really about subtle insights. You need a great product and a bigger vision to execute against, but it's really those small things that make the big difference.
You can say the right thing about a product and nobody will listen. You've got to say it in such a way that people will feel it in their gut. Because if they don't feel it, nothing will happen.
I don't read reviews, because if you believe the good ones, you have to believe the bad.
People buy products if they're better.
A market is never saturated with a good product, but it is very quickly saturated with a bad one.
