- Hello Christina, You'll be fantastic, as usual! :-) I'll be on the call to listen to you. I'm glad Tawnya asked you to join the party... What a great virtual event!
- Great advice! Very nice read. Thank you for the information. Will apply this information and wait to see the results.
- That comment about a realtor is complete rubbish. What are the similarities between having your own brand and driving an expensive car?

I’m biased, but I think my guidebook, Designing a Compelling 30-second Intro, is kick-ass. (Then again, what would it tell you if I didn’t think that?)

I thought I was alone!
I have often come across the same as you - transcripts of someone's first teleclass being sold as a stand alone product.
In fact, there are many out there who have built up their own practice by touting this exact process as the way to make money "on line".
Unfortunately, what the eager beavers miss is exactly what you state - rather than earn income from the class, build their credibility with those who pay for their products and thereby increase their recurring sales and presence - they leave their customers feeling more like "I paid how much for this?!"
Also, the same people who provide their unedited transcripts as books also have a tendancy to offer up their unedited teleclasses as a "podcast".
Just like a transcript is not a book or guide, recording a teleclass and posting it on line does not make it a "podcast". A podcast is professionally produced with music, an appropriate intro, all the filler words (ums, ahs, etc.) edited out, etc.
I hope your readers realize that with the investment of a few dollars on editing - informational products can be wonderful practice building tools for service professionals.
Cheers!

I totally agree. I am so sick of this mega-leverage game. Now, I'm all for leverage - but it HAS to be quality.
If I'm spending money with you, I don't want typo's, and I don't want something thrown together.
I agree - if you tout that you're making that much money, spend some of it to produce something sans the typo's and transcripts.

I have bought several ebooks over the past few months and have also been quite overwhelmed with what is offered for free - Chris Garret's 'Killer Flagship Content' - is a great example, but I too get incensed with poorly written, and overpriced material.
