Comments on: Jeremy Palmer’s Black Ink Project is OPEN http://www.superaffiliatemindset.com/jeremy-palmers-black-ink-project-is-open/ Insights and Thoughts from a World Class Internet Marketer Sun, 07 Aug 2011 19:28:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Jeremy Palmer http://www.superaffiliatemindset.com/jeremy-palmers-black-ink-project-is-open/comment-page-1/#comment-6460 Jeremy Palmer Mon, 05 May 2008 15:55:22 +0000 http://www.superaffiliatemindset.com/jeremy-palmers-black-ink-project-is-open/#comment-6460 I’m a little concerned here: I paid for Jeremy’s ebook, then found out later, that he was offering it for free. I no longer sell info products. I've decided to offer all content on QYDJ for free. I had a similar inquiry on my blog a few weeks back. This was my reply: "Times change and markets evolve. For example, Yahoo use to charge $30/year for 25mb of e-mail space, now they give you 2gb free. I'm just staying ahead of the curve." It’s sounds like his doing the same thing with this black ink project. He initially charged $497 for it, renamed it and now it’s free. I wanted to make three clarifying points: 1 - I'm no longer involved with PPC Classroom. It's now in the hands of Affiliate Classroom. 2 - Take a look at the outline for the Black Ink Project, it's nothing like PPC Classroom. 3 - A month after launching PPC Classroom I decided I no longer wanted to be in the business of selling content. Nobody does anything for free so what is Jeremy expecting in return? Rather than sell my own info products, I want to build QYDJ into a premier affiliate education site and community. True to my affiliate nature, I would rather promote other peoples products than sell my own. The goal is to build incredible value first, then attract a high-quality audience, and worry about monetization later.

First, you'll note that I put a cap of 1,000 on the original registration. This was due to the fact that the webinar solution we were using had that limit. In addition to that, I was going to be hosting all the 100mb + files on my own site, which as you know would cost me a fortune in bandwidth (20-100mb sessions x 1,000 downloads (min) = 2 terabytes of bandwidth - at least). The new WebEx platform we're running does have a cap of 3,000. You'll note WebEx is furnishing a free 800 number for each session, which costs WebEx a lot of money. Even with a discounted toll-free rate that's a huge investment. It's easy to think of everything being free, but bandwidth and toll free numbers cost money. Somebody has to pay the bill - just be glad it's not you, and enjoy the free course ;) The scarcity was and is very real. First, you’ll note that I put a cap of 1,000 on the original registration.

There is marginal incremental cost to have 1000, 3,000, or 10,000 people on a course (unless you're talking about additional customer service issues).

As I pointed out, it's probably not the best way, but it's a quick way ;) Good feedback - I'll consider removing the field. Good points Rick.
