I only made it through a quarter of the article. I found the tone arrogant and felt like I was being talked down to. The pictures of a woman in lingerie on the sidebar capped it off.

#4I'm sure I don't know why this article reminds me of this, but totally off topic:
Does anyone else remember get rich quick magazines back in the day? They were tons of fun! Every page was full of possibilities. I remember as a kid trying to get into mail envelope ponzi schemes. It was all about how to figure out the scam and improve on it. Taught me how to love to hustle.

#5You should be very careful if you're selling something you don't have, you almost certainly violate the terms of your payment provider and depending on where you live you might be committing fraud.

#6I found the article to be hands-on, and a good insight in the MO of a successful entrepeneur. It doesn't have to take cutting edge technology or thousands lines of code to make it big. On the other hand, the majority of folks here are hackers, so maybe the article is barking at the wrong tree here...

#7As an entrepreneur I really don't identify with this world of self-help books, overnight entrepreneurs, 10-point checklists to success and how to become a millionaire in a weekend.

#8Am I the only one tired of single-purpose a/b-tested-to-death webpages that sell only one thing in loud marketing-speak?
I'm a businessman myself, so I'm glad someone out there is making a living for themselves, but I truly tire of these sorts of eyesore sites on the web.

It is against most merchant rules (and PayPal) to process a complete transaction without the product or service being immediately available.
For pre-orders, you can collect card information and authorizations, but you can only charge when the product or service is delivered. PayPal doesn't support that at all (it is messy)
Even with pre-orders the condition usually is that you need to deliver within 30 or 60 days (depends on the merchant).
It is definitely not a good idea to collect money with the promise of a product in the future. This is why Kickstarter, GroupOn etc. only charge cards later on, and make it clear to users with disclaimers.

I read this, and thought, it's GOT to be Timothy Ferriss. Sure enough, I see the site is fourhourworkweek.com, just after I've clicked the link.
My favorite line is in the photo caption: "He also looks great in orange." That may come in handy for him in the near future, if he's not careful.
