| | |  Joe Vitale: 'I'm going after Potter'
Joe Vitale, author of ' The Attractor Factor: 5 Easy Steps for Creating Wealth (or anything else) From the Inside Out', has declared he's going to 'chase Harry Potter up a tree'. His book is currently battling ' Half-Blood Prince' for the #1 spot on Amazon and Barnes and Noble's bestseller lists.
"I've bumped Trump, and Da Vinci, and I'm going after Potter," announced the author.
"I'm one guy and a computer going up against a fictional character with a media empire behind him," said Vitale, who also wrote a book on P.T. Barnum and apparently learned a thing or two from the circus showman.
"Everyone said I didn't stand a chance. But look -I'm already #2."
Vitale, who is a magician in his spare time, waves his magic wand and says, "Harry Potter oblivio."
His book is currently #4 on Amazon's Top 100 list and falling.

When you're in this type of business you have to be "over-confident" because you're in a major struggle. Good for him for being so bold since everyone denounced him. But no point in trying to beat HP. Be glad you've got what you got! | |

Reality says that he doesn't stand a chance, but good luck to him anyway. His method to sell books is very creative. | |

Shameless in my opinion! I don't like people who try to boost themselves up by putting others down. He's just trying to drum up interest by being controversial. | |
