“Getting that orange ribbon because seven people bought it at 2 a.m. from an obscure category tells you what? Nothing. It’s ego. It’s meaningless and fleeting. It’s gaming the system.”

—AJ Harper


“It also doesn’t translate into success. Seven people buying it one time is not a ‘best-seller’ by any measurable meaning.”

—Mike Michalowicz
