is it ethically right to charge people money they cant afford?
How do you know they cant afford it? Martin could say the same about the money diet too, but then again if they save £7 by reading it, then its free technically. Id go for it James.:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -

Whilst the above might have worked early on by the time you've heard of it it's probably become less effective.
James - I don't think it's unethical to charge for it. In many respects the value of what's in it outstrips the cost of the product. It's a variation on the old "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime".
People get upset about laying out £20 for a book that could help them but don't bat an eyelid when they spend twice that on Sky or £20 on drink during a night out.
I spent my £20 on a book and it's paid for itself twice over within two sales. But its all a matter of choice.
If anyone's thinking of joining the chain above - my advice is to steer clear. I've been on other forums where people know their way around making money off the internet and they won't touch it with a barge pole.0
