I call you guys the originals, the original SaaS gangsters, because podcasting was my first

medium to get this SaaS data out there. And now we've got a best selling book out called

Capitalistbook.com. It would mean so much for me if you grabbed it and read pages 197 to

220 where I talk about taking over your competitors' distribution channels with

email scripts that I use for guest bloggers, and chapter 9, page 151 to 171, where I show

you how I buy and sell SaaS companies for very cheap.

You guys can do this whether you're just starting out or you're running a hundred million

dollar ARR company.

Go grab the book today at capitalistbook.com. And if you want a free

preview, scroll halfway down capitalistbook.com and you'll see a bunch of screenshots. In the

meantime, here's an excerpt from the book. Chapter 11. How to Get Rich by copying your competitors

Do it.
