I'm a really big fan of Brennan, Patrick, and Amy. But there's a pattern here that makes me very nervous:
* Huge success with consulting and it seems quite reliable
* Huge success on information products, which are sold exclusively to developers/freelancers
* Impressive, but somewhat less success on actual apps (often sold to developers/freelancers)
So the disturbing part is products seem really fricking hard, unless you include information products in which case they are gold. I've been following (and rooting for) some of these people for a while and even after years it's a bit depressing that they couldn't make a decent salary off their best web applications. And what's worse is it feels like the only people we hear about finding success are those that are selling to us.
