| | |  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.

Major props for the guy for believing in himself and his book. Anything could happen, though. But time will tell. :sorcerer:

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.
