Wilde: Thanks. Writing with honesty is natural. Criticism and praise are equal partners in driving me forward. I appreciate your support, and promise the writing is going nowhere. Matthew: I will target them for everyone, eventually. What kind of product would you like to see? J.D>: I think you are absolutely right. I'm unfamiliar with Alexis Dawes, but I will follow the white rabbit. Thanks for the heads up. B. Wilde: Thanks. Writing with honesty is natural.

You're doing the right thing by tuning and testing your approach. One piece of your puzzle might be sales copy. Think of it as little jump points on the Web that funnel and bridge your potential audience with your products. Given your path, it might be the most effective tool you add to your toolbelt. It's the difference that I've seen make a difference for those that have succeeded selling their information products on the Web. I think Alexis Dawes says this is the key to her success. J.D.

You stand behind your content and put yourself out there for praise or criticism. I think this is a courageous move and one that I can certainly learn from. I look forward to continuing to follow you and to stay up on your great writing abilities. Keep writing. I find your straight forth honesty to be refreshing.

They're a terrific company. Elisa: Thank you for such a candidly wonderful response. I'm trying hard to crack this nut. The more information I have, the better job I could do. Your answer spilled over. Thanks again. Bamboo: I would LOVE to do a commercial for Apple. They’re a terrific company.

Right now I'm knee (maybe neck?) deep in potty training my 2-yr-old daughter. I came to your site and laughed because I was ready to spend $4, and you were discussing why uptake on your weebooks was low. Then I saw the new price structure. Woohoo! And a video that has the entire text. Awesome!! My husband and I watched the video - very very nice. Text humorous and succinct. Illustrations spot on. But we knew after the video concluded that we wouldn't make the purchase after all, because we've trained our daughter in a slightly different way - she doesn't need to go get an adult but takes care of it herself. I thought the least I could do is leave my feedback. And a suggestion. Maybe follow Amazon's lead and give potential buyers a chance to look at one or two pages rather than the whole text. If we had seen just a teaser, we would have still made the purchase. And not been disappointed since we only spent $.99 and could cut out ant pages that didn't apply. For $.99 I'm willing to take a chance. Love your writing - keep up the great work!
