Seth is such an inspiration… god man. I read one of his books every week, just a few pages to keep my marketing ideas flowing.

The interesting point to this is that the companies that would bring an idea like this to market, would do so on the assumption that most people would pay for the service, but would not read enough books to cover the $40 monthly fee. It’s how these unlimited services operate.

It’s the people who pay for tickets but never go to minor league baseball games that keep the stadiums and teams afloat, it’s the people who pay the monthly fee but don’t put podcasts up that helps LibSyn cover costs, it’s the people who accidentally hold on to DVDs from Netflix that allows them to be profitable and it’s your late fees at the library that help keep the libraries afloat (and your tax dollars, let’s be serious about that).

You could argue that the library already provides this service and it’s free provided you are in your county’s libraries.

Thanks for reading, and for such kind words.

In the meantime, at least my blog is free.
