Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
The inside story of how Bieler started with no money, no product, and no experience, and somehow created a $100 million business selling the "Thighmaster" through infomercials. Far more entertaining and fun than any infomercial, and, in many ways, a mind-boggling book about how new industries are created in this modern world. Recommended.
Product Description
"Only in America could a would-be monk convince a faded television star to pitch a rehabilitation device designed for Scandinavian skiers and create a nationwide sensation. The marketing strategy alone is worth the price of admission." —Paul B. Brown Special Correspondent for the Business News Network (BNN) and coauthor of Customers for Life "This is the first time the person behind a fad lays out the whole marketing strategy he used. Even I learned a lot." —Bob Rice Pet Rock Promoter "Within a matter of months, Peter Bieler created a $100,000,000 industry out of nothing. This fascinating book chronicles step-by-step how he did it." —Steve Dworman Publisher, Infomercial Marketing Report "As a jack, in an emergency, if you have a very small car … As a rack to dry homemade pasta … Prop it on its side and presto! Twin picture frames … Have it bronzed and claim it's a very early Henry Moore …" —Diane White columnist for The Boston Globe on alternate uses for the ThighMaster See Inside for Exciting Contest Details!
