Creator's Key Takeaways

I equate it to panning for gold, meaning that you work really hard to find some good feedback in there.

Strip away all the five star reviews, strip away all the one-star reviews.

Look for thoughtful details, right? So if people say this one sucked or this one was the best ever, that's not really insightful, is it?

We've been on all of them. It's one of the reasons people phone us so that that we can, you know, say, 'Oh, okay.'
