Trust me, just this once: Go sign up *now*
(I’ll explain why when you’re back. And stop worrying, it’s easy to cancel - just do it before the end of your week.)

Some of you are wondering why I’ve just told you to sign up for an online course about building online courses, when you have no interest in such a thing. I mean, based on the landing page, it’s all about making money online right? (And who the heck is interested in THAT?)
Ignore the marketing of the course towards the make money online crowd.
Here’s why I sent you there:
Even if you have no desire to build a virtual classroom, and couldn’t care less about developing an income online - there is a wealth of information in TeachingSells you’ll find fascinating and useful.
If you’re a blogger, you’ll find the information on finding a niche, learning styles, and the importance of story telling incredibly useful.
The info on marketing is just as applicable to your blog, ebook, bound book, podcast, or affliate products as it is for online courses.
If you’re a writer, you’ll develop a better understanding of how to reach your audience, use stories to illustrate your points, or give a point for your story.
If you’re interested in the human mind, and what makes it tick, there’s no better way to learn than exploring how we learn, react to advertising, and why we cough up our hard earned dollars for this product, or that. Marketing *is* applied psychology, and a great way to learn about the mind.
But if you have valuable knowledge locked up in your brain, but you aren’t sure how to best share it? TeachingSells offers you a way to get that information down in concrete, saleable form - a form easier to get to market than a book, a form more people will actually learn from (as opposed to reading the book once, and tossing it in the corner)
I signed up before the trial offer was available, but I have not regretted it for one moment. The time and money I’ve spent on TeachingSells has been worth it, and more. Even if I weren’t planning on building my online courses, TS has improved my blogging and marketing skills, inspired me in multiple ways, and just been flat fun.
If you’re still debating, it’s only a dollar, for crimminies sake! For FULL access!

It is interesting, but I would caution readers to make DAMN SURE they cancel. The folks at Teaching Sells are counting on you forgetting so they can clip you the very, very overprices $97 a month.
Hey, Mr.SoulHuntre!
It seems irrelevant since their trial offer is now closed, but since we know one another and have talked about this material at length… I thought it’d make an interesting discussion and exercise.
Ok, so… oops. I did forget to mention the standard price in this post - a pet peeve of mine. I hate hunting for prices, so my apologies there.
I have two questions for you:
1. “Cancel before the trial/subscription period ends” is pretty much the standard of subscription sites, from Napster to AOL. Was there something different about TS’s cancellation policy that bothered you?
2. You’ve been involved in software development and marketing for a long time. If you put something like the TS material together, what would you charge?
“Cancel before the trial/subscription period ends” is pretty much the standard of subscription sites, from Napster to AOL. Was there something different about TS’s cancellation policy that bothered you?
Absolutely! It is a model that was pioneered in the adult industry (I used to write lots of code for those guys, and ran a few sites myself). A fair amount of the business model of subscription site trials is based on the fact that people will forget to cancel after a trial.
There was nothing especially upsetting about the TS trial except that the period was exceptionally short, and the price is exceptionally high. That made it a bit riskier than most and I figured I would mention it.
“You’ve been involved in software development and marketing for a long time. If you put something like the TS material together, what would you charge?”
Now that you mention it, $97 is cheap. They are ruining the market I say!
Seriously, the beauty of a free market is exactly this. if they are providing enough value for their subscribers then they have every right to make that much and more
The 7-day trial is shorter than I’m used to, but Hmm… I’m not sure a 7 day trial increases the risk of forgetting to cancel. With 30 days, I’m more likely to procrastinate, lose track and forget. I stay on top of the short trials.
I’ve noticed software demos going for shorter periods too, 1-2 weeks. Since those require active intent to purchase, I’m wondering if the shorter trial increases conversion rates in general? Something to ponder.
Regardless, I don’t think the “forget to cancel” model is much in play with Brian and Tony. After all, they just emailed me a reminder that my Charter membership is nearly up, and that I’ll need to cancel if I don’t want to continue with monthly billing.
But I’m not getting why $97 a month is “exceptionally high” by your standards, unless you’re comparing it to entertainment sites.
Business, marketing, and web development products are always pretty high dollar - the other marketing/copywriting programs I’ve looked into run in the thousands for less material, and offer less personal attention.
More thoughts?
(I’m going to regret asking for them, I know I am…)
