This is from Unscripted . Where is the thread for the cover-rating service? I tried searching for it, but I must be dumb because every time I try to search I can never find stuff.

Google, Rackspace, and GoDaddy are just a few that launched the modern Internet age. A good story about crowdfeeding comes from a forum friend who fell a$$-backwards into his business. Like many before him, he began self-publishing, hoping to grab a piece of the gold rush. After suffering marginal success (being kind), he sought to improve his book covers. When he looked to test different covers with various audiences, he couldn’t find a solution. And then it hit him. OMG, is this the *need* MJ always talks about? It was. And so he built a website addressing the problem. Within a matter of weeks, his cover-rating service blew up—without advertising. The crowd demanded exactly what he needed. Obviously, he stopped writing to pursue the venture, which screamed for grease. And compliments of massive traffic and a positive feedback loop, he suddenly now *loves* his service more so than writing.
