Yeah I’m not worried about the price at all. We serve a certain market. We don’t want to raise the price either, we just want 6000 members.

So let’s do math: There are 6 billion people on the planet. We need 1000 people per billion to sign up for an extremely high quality, results-oriented training center for profitable blogging.

1000 parts per billion. Seems pretty doable to me.

Had never heard of Marketing Experiments dot com.

I had a long response posted – about how I disagree with David – how $97 is to much – but I failed the math test and it did not keep my reply.

So I’ll just let the link to my blog post say it for me.

But in a nutshell… you may be pricing it to low – who knows.

I subscribe to the ‘Puppy Dog Close” and trial strategies… but they have inherent problems (i.e. why’d you charge my card, who are you, I forgot to cancel, etc, etc, etc).

But there’s no arguing the methods work.

Heck, you could even raise the price to $297 a month – lose 70% of your members and possible make more money – don’t know your metrics.

You’d have less customer support issues… could spend more ‘one on one’ time with each member… it’s all about perception.

Let’s see – “Please add 8 and 6″ – hope the answer is 14.

The Marketing Experiment looks like a great place for research on what really works. Thanks for the introduction and the link.

I got hooked on the Marketing Experiments site a while ago because of their approach to experimental analysis. It’s amazing how much marketing info flies around the web without any real hard numbers to back any of it up.

Coming from an experimental science background I always had trouble digesting most of what I read because of the lack of information surrounding the results as well as the constant questioning of the techniques used to evaluate the data being captured for analysis.

Results from social science experiments, like those in marketing, are inherently hard to analyze compared with hard sciences like physics and therefore have limitations. The guys at marketing experiments understand that and it shows in their analysis of their own results. In my mind this makes their results all the more valuable.

thanks for the post.

You are so right about Marketing Experiments! I’ve been attending their free webinars and devouring the free content on their website for about 9 months now. In my opinion this is the single best source to learn about systematic web marketing, testing and tracking.

They are no fluff and no BS and what they teach really works. On one of my projects I was able to go from a 2% to a 10% conversion rate just by following a few of their recommendations.
