I really need 10 people to help with my course update.

Thank you Steve for your comments.

I'd be more than happy to look over your course and give it an honest, thorough review because I like to help good folks like yourself, but I'm just not going to pay $50 for a course I'm not the least bit interested in so I can review it.

What I've asked is not out of the ordinary. There are quite a few publications out there, that do the same. I remember back many years ago having to pay to be a beta tester for some software programs.

The reviewer purchases the material, goes over it, provides constructive feedback, has their name and website mentioned in the finish product, and gets to keep a copy and usually receives a free copy of the lastest update.

I've done it several times. Once for Sean de Souza of Psychotatics. I, along with a few others are mentioned in the Brain Audit Second Edition. Another time was for Pete Egler at his hotsheetgold.com website. I'm the first testimonial you come across and the last one I purchased was Gordon's Chattling Course back in 2006.

So what I'm requesting is very ordinary and common.

I can understand where you are coming from. But there is a host of people that come here looking to learn how to do something on the side. This is their chance to pick up a copy at a very reduced rate and help in the updated version.

Many people like to have their name and website mentioned in other people's books and articles. It gives them instant credibility and allows them to show others that they have been quoted as saying and that it is in print form.

As The Donald would say, "No thanks. It's nothing personal, it's just business."
