Is E-commerce being threatened by the Freebie Hunters?

Hi Gary-
I'm new to this, but having read over some of the other
marketing material with creative ideas :

- You benefit from a year's regular email 'coaching'.
I didnt ask for coaching. I want to see WIIFM now, not 280 days later to find out what tip #140 is all about.

- They benefit from it as well if they decide to sign up.
This is conjecture, and not very convincing at that. How do "they" benefit?

- I benefit because of the added 'exposure'.
Ahhhh, YOU benefit. Thats WIIFY, not WIIFM.

I happen to like your site, forum and previous works. The spam issue is one to be considered, and 5 is too high a number and too much of a time hassle to enter.
Two or three would be a more managable number.
Your end result would/could be the same, just a bit longer time frame.

I would purchase an ebook of this in a heartbeat knowing the quality of your previous works, but 97$ is a stretch, which is the value YOU equated with it. I know this runs diametrically opposed to your intent for this project, but just my 50 cents worth looking at it from a newbies perspective.

Much success with this endeavour Gary.
