I understand where you're coming from.
I've had to deal with this very issue in my own way...coming from both sides.
But I just thought about why Steve doesn't bug me...it's because he offers stuff for free. (Great stuff on his blog etc.)
I think when I'm irritated most is when people dangle a carrot in front on your nose and then you find out it's $200 to find out the answer.
To remedy this myself...in a marketing class I learned that offering Free stuff is the way to go. Even the things I peddle....I share exactly what it is and if you want to try it without costing you a dime...knock your socks off.
If you want me to hold your hand and walk you through the process, well, be prepared to pay (it's my job!)
So that's just how my brain works.... |
