Fellow WFers, those of you that are still here. Please stick around for at least one last Ancap debate while you read my latest book -- Crowd Freedom: How To Create A Free Society Without Government.

If you don't have monies to read the book don't fret, the book is available online for free at How To Create A Free Society Without Government - Full Book | Crowd Freedom.

The book is about crazy stuff like non-violence and free markets. So for a lot of you unemployed, failed marketers this book may be a bit too much to swallow. But for those of you like me living in the wild west of entrepreneurship have a perusal and let me know your thoughts on this book.

In all seriousness I've put years of work into it and done the best I can to make it useful and easy to follow.

Please let me know your thoughts if you have the time to browse through it a bit.

And may we all stand for a moment of silence while I dedicate this post to the many, many colorful, enjoyable Ancap debates with the no longer active member guerilla.

Awesome! Looks like you put a good deal of work into it.

Speaking of ancap books, I'm friends with Chase Rachels, and I designed the cover of his book he put out recently: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Spontaneous-Order-Capitalist-Stateless-Society/dp/1512117277"]A Spontaneous Order: The Capitalist Case For A Stateless Society: Christopher Chase Rachels, Mattheus Von Guttenberg, Stephan N. Kinsella: 9781512117271: Amazon.com: Books[/ame]

Do you still record music? If I recall correctly, you're that guy.

I still record a little bit to relax when I have the time. The amount of time that goes into producing a song is great and I find my time is usually better spent doing other things which have a much lower supply. There is just so much music out there.

That looks like a pretty cool book. I'll have to give it a read.
 
Hey bro good luck with it - I think I remember you mentioning working on this a few times via related threads. Feels good to 'finish' and publish something like this so grats! Nice layout/presentation on site as well, giving it away free is awesome but might work against you? Maybe have something to sell (maybe you do) or a premium just to give this more perceived value (when it's free, it can't be good, right?)..

Also, I'm sure you've thought of this, but this should totally be put into a video so I can just smoke a blunt kick back and have it feed me vs reading it all. Just get a voice over and animate some stills over it.

And what's up WF - been a while, things haz changed a lot here it seems.

Nice to hear from you. I considered the price model for sure. I think it makes sense in a lot of cases, but I'm not as sure on this one. If it was more of a technical type thing like how to use Cubase, how to do Photoshop, how to use Drupal, or something like this I could see it making sense. But with something like this I see the free model and donation model working better. Stefan Molyneux does this model with freedomainradio.com and has done very well with it. I think this route may be more appropriate for what I'm trying to accomplish.

I've created a lot of content for other sites I run and some of the better pieces of content can easily pull a few hundred visitors a day from search engines and social media. I think giving people the ability to easily share this on facebook and other sites may be more beneficial in the long run.

Like you've said, I think some type of priced product or subscription service would be good and will make itself more apparent as time goes on. I'm open to all things and will continue to test and refine. I do agree that if you can come up with something that people will pay for then you can slam the marketing and blow it up much quicker. I'm just not sure if the book is that piece. I think I could come up with a much more creative, useful pricing model than simply a book.

And I agree with what you've said about the video. The next piece I'm going to do is a voiceover of the whole book and post it on Youtube. After that I'm going to do a bunch of smaller videos going through many of the topics addressed in the book and release a new video every week and more frequently as it grows. I plan on going heavy with video marketing and getting myself more well known in the Ancap community in general. I see it as a long term project and will feel it out as I go.

Appreciate your feedback and value your perspective greatly :)
 
Isn't there some irony you have to give it away here.

I mean, your theory lionizes the market system. The market is telling you your book is worthless.

There... You got it in ONE.

And that's why wasting time even thinking about fallacious Pollyanna pipe dreams like this are stupid- you'll NEVER get enough sheep together to make it a fucking reality. So why waste the time?

Use that invaluable time to organize your life in such a way as to give YOURSELF and your family as much freedom as possible. Be your own boss, control your life. Invest in hard assets that are basically invisible. Live large today, but plan for the worst tomorrow. I assure you, it's eminently do-able.

You CAN Color between the lines, pay your fair share (as much as you Have To), yet lick No One's boots, or any other part of their wardrobe.

Good luck bros
 
Nice, congrats slayerment. I always enjoy reading your ideas. I'll definitely read through this in my spare time.

If you're in touch with guerilla please give him my highest regards.

Indeed but how many are spreading the ancap gospel!? lol. Nice work, man. Lately I've been splitting my time between bitcoin casinos and rock n roll. If I can find some time between them I will try to give it my full attention (it will be the first book I've read in like 3 years)

Not to hijack, but since it's relevant and music was mentioned, here are a couple complimentary tunes brought to you by myself and my band:
