A comment on the money side. While it is true that the bulk of their moeny will certainly come from the upsells, do not discount the “free’ DVD itself. They are making as much as 100& profit (depending on their duplication and fulfillment methods) on those ‘free’ DVD’s alone. “Giving away” say 30 or 40 thousand DVD’s and cealing $3 or $4 on each one is a nice piece of “pocket change” in and of itself.

On the address fiasco … as an American living overseas I can not begin to calculate how many merchants have _not_ been able to complete sales with me becuase the people who put together order pages can’t look outside their home country. Many merchants can’t even properly accomodate overseas US government mail adresses such as APO and FPO mail to servicemen, State department workers, etc. It is like they think the dollar becopmes infected by originating overseas and they are afraid of catching a cold? Dumb.

The forum policy is clearly stated on the sales page.

The main reason we do is this – by letting a LOT of newbies in who ask the same questions, it really drives the value of the forum down.

This way we are asking everyone to go over the coursework in detail beforehand.

Also, yes, we initiate it after you get billed. Bottom line, we’ve given away as much as we possibly can for free. We have a lot of coaches we’ve hired and so a lot of costs.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable for us to ask that our members pay a fee to access the areas that cost us a lot of money.

We’re doing everything we can to provide as much value so you get a chance to see the value we provide and can decide from there.

We are certainly not trying to “piss” anyone off or upset anyone. We’ve been very up-front with our promotions.
