There's nothing wrong with charging money for it. There are many reasons one might charge for "free advice". Some examples are:

1) People typically don't trust free advice. Most people will follow a program they paid $50 for or $500 or $5000 for more then they will a free program. For example I bought a Tony RObbins program before for like $300. I went through it and did the whole thing because after all "I paid 300 bucks for it!" so I wanted to get my money's worth. I then gave the program to a friend who wanted it, but he didn't even get past day one. Why? Cuz he didn't pay for it. Basic human psychology.

2) If 500,000 people download a movie for free skeptics will say "So what, it's free, no big deal. They know the movie is crap, that's why they can't charge for it, cuz nobody would pay for it." However if they charge for it skeptics say "They shouldn't be charging for it."

Anyway, those are just two reasons. Everyone deserves to make money. I especially like the fact that you can watch the movie for $5 online and then pay $25 for the DVD if you like the movie. That shows that they believe in their product.

I did exactly that. Paid $5, watched it, liked it, ordered the full DVD.
