Michael, that I think the "Don't Give It All Away" philosophy is the single greatest myth in the "info product" industry, that you charge for everything and therefore people only get to see what is behind the curtain if they part with their money after being subjected to your hard sell, long sales page. I guess that is why we are collaborating on this project, because I think there is a better way - Gateway Blogging. I think of it as a soft sell approach, friendly, and most important - non-destructive to relationships.
