Probably not going to happen. Writing is a lot of work. Promotion is a lot of work which I generally dislike. I rather prefer doing stuff as opposed to being a paid commentator about doing stuff: it means I get to post on HN without having the implicit disclaimer "Trying to sell you his get-rich-quick-in-only-half-a-decade-for-values-of-rich-which-are-not-quite-rich guide."
I also think, no offense, that HN is a terrible, terrible market to sell to. Among many other signs: if the price point a hypothetical customer goes to for "Actionable advice which stands to make my business a lot of money" is "thirty bucks", I have negative a billion desire to be in a business relationship with them. No offense intended to anybody here. Instead of spending six weeks writing and then a year wheedling people to part with their $50 as if that were a meaningful amount of money, I could pick up a phone tomorrow morning, call one of a couple CEOs, and say "So, still want my help?", and then do six weeks of consulting. There would be very little wheedling over $50 involved.
You said elsewhere that you like to be a product guy (where the income is passive). So writing an e-book and selling it wouldn't be that different from selling BCC. And unlike consulting you wouldn't have to travel.
You make the initial investment in your pajamas at home, and then apply your own advice to promote it. I'm certain that it'd make far more money than BCC.
Perhaps the value of my suggestion was lost in its specificity. It doesn't even have to be an e-book priced at $50. Do webinars/courses a la Frank Kern. Charge $1000-2000, and accept only up to 100 people. Record the all thing, and then sell it on DVD at a cheaper price, when the live course is over.
My suggestion was to capitalize your "fame" to make some serious money and in the process help a great number of companies. Consulting is one way to do it, but there are less stressful, and more scalable ways in my opinion.
PS: I only replied to clarify the scope of my suggestion. I don't want to convince you or interfere with your plans.
