Million Dollar Emails worth $10 ?
 
Hi there guys/gals,

I'm kinda new to this and this might sound
a bit cheap but...

Is this worth the $10 ?

Could you guys take a look at this and tell
me if I'm just falling for some fancy copy
or not.

http://www.ultra-marketing.com/mdemail.htm

Do these products REALLY show you anything
or of use or is it all trash talk?

(Still I'm kinda tempted by the resale rights.)

And who's the Yanik dude...

Vincent.

Hi Vincent...

Whether or not this ebook is worth the $10 is a question that can only be answered by you.

Does Yanik know his stuff? Absolutely.

Would an ebook giving you a specific template for proven email sequences that have sold millions of dollars be of value? Sure, it would.

But then again, this ebook could just as easily be completely worthless.

See, here's a little known truth that info product creators would probably NOT want me to reveal:

The value of an info product is about 5% dependent on the information in the product. And about 95% dependent on the reader, and the *action* that he or she takes.

These days, I will pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars for certain products, services, or to attend certain events. This is a no-brainer because I have conditioned myself to *take action* on prudent ideas and concepts, and plug them into business models that we've tweaked, refined, and nicely polished.

But has it always been this way? Not by a long shot. Did I make an immediate return on the first few thousand dollars I spent on my education? No way. I stumbled, backtracked, and failed with the best of them. But the key is that I *failed forward*.

So did this investment ultimately pay off many times over? You bet it did.

Anyway, I hope this long-winded answer gave you a deeper perspective from which to make a wise decision.

My advice? Cough up the ten bucks. And then put the ideas *into action* immediately! Don't worry about whether your model is perfected. Just do *something!*

Best wishes, Vincent, with your every venture.

Yes, you are correct.

However, just because the following advice:

"Find a niche and then develop a product and market it to them" is good information...

And the information is 95% dependent on the PERSON doing it...

Does not mean that an 8 X 11" piece of paper with ONLY THOSE WORDS on it is worth spending $10 for.

Why? Because that SAME $10 can buy you that information AND A WHOLE LOT MORE if you were to buy a $10 Dan Kennedy book, for example.

So the fundamental question that STILL needs to be answered is:

In comparison to other GOOD products on the market... is THIS product worth in EXCESS of $10???

Hi Adam,

I don't disagree with any of what you said. And all sort of semantics could be entered into the discussion.

The big picture point I was making was that if you are starting out as a marketer and do not have tons of knowledge or experience, then buying just about anything for 10 bucks if it has a money back guarantee is worth it, provided that you study it carefully and make an honest attempt to implement its ideas.

I fully agree that one $10 product may have much more value than another $10 product. But that's a very subjective issue. It's not really a question of "Is Dan Kennedy's better, or is Yanik Silver's better?" It's more a question of what's best for Vincent...

Anyway, thanks for your input. How has the market responded to DiscussionGate so far? My hat's off to you for developing it!

Best,

Jesse

No It's Not WORTH $10. It's WORTH...
 
Absolutely nothing, to the person who has to ask if something is WORTH $10.

My office supply guy tells me yesterday that three weeks ago he bought out another office-supply shop - close out stock.

He told me this while we were chatting about different kinds of supplies. He told me for FREE.

HOW MUCH is that WORTH? HOW MUCH is it WORTH to know that my office supply guy buys office supply close-outs? (Jim Straw, would you care to answer that?) Thousands? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Over time.

Of course, if I do nothing with that small bit of information, to me it's WORTH is zero.

And that's what the crux of the matter is... taking action and using the information you get.

Don't use it and no matter what price you paid wasn't WORTH it. Use it and profit from it and whatever price you paid wasn't enough. Because the WORTH becomes every single cent the use of that information makes you over your life-time.

Right on, Michael. My thoughts exactly (DNO)
