He's keeping it in the spirit of the site itself:
“Steve Manning’s billiance allows you to write easily, effortlessly and omniprofitably, five minutes at a time. I’ve watched him and listened to him repetitively and learned more each time.
Mark Victor Hansen, co-creator of Chicken Soup for the Soul Series, which has now sold 80 million copies.
I had a bout of "billiance" once... I'm much better now.  |

Thanks for sharing Sammisan. I'll check it out and (if I remember) I'll share my thoughts on it. I'm sure nothing personal was meant, but you gotta agree, the quotes were kinda funny... :p

I think it's just become second nature for netizens to attack anything that looks like advertisements - especially advertisements for things that look like spam or "get-rich-quick" schemes.
It was certainly nothing personal!
By the way, if any of you are using a Mac (running OS X), "Apple-;" (that's "apple key" and "semi-colon") will run a spell check on whatever text field you're in - the latest version of OS X (Tiger) even has a built in dictionary!
If you're not on a Mac... BUY ONE!

"Regardless of Your Writing Ability, Even If You’ve Never Written Anything Even Close To The Size Of A Book, Even If You Have Only A Few Minutes A Day To Make it Happen—If You’re A Professional, This Is Information You MUST HAVE!"
So you are telling me, that even if I only have say 15 minutes a day, for 14 days, I will still have that book done?

Jp, that's like 3 and a half hours of writing. Who can't put down 150,000 words in that kinda time? All you need to do is write some 715 words a minute. No problem, right?
And me, personally, I want omniprofitability. That sounds really, really good.

My eMac already has a built in dictionary and I haven't got the new Tiger version yet. It's in the mail.
I've already written a 50,000 word novel in 14 days. I got into over achieving mode with NaNoWriMo in 2003.
