I am an author, trying to self-publish and whatnot. After reading this post I almost bought the book.
Then I didn't. Because of this pricing model.
I wanted to buy the book. The value preposition is awesome and it is exactly the kind of content I need right now. The first option is super expensive and includes a bunch of things I don't care about. I want the book, not some videos I'll never watch, not a 90 day launch plan I'll never use. I want to read your book Nathan Barry.
The second option is still pretty damn expensive, and it's still shoving a bunch of things I don't want down my throat. I want the book.
Last option. $30, okay that's pretty reasonable. I will even swallow the patronisingly added one month subscription to ConvertKit, whatever that is. I just wanted the book and this option has the least crap with it.
Great.
Oh, for $29 I only get a PDF ... but I wanted a book. For that much money I really expected at least a paperback, possibly a hardcover.
I'm sorry Nathan Barry, I would love to read your book, heck, I want to read your book. But none of your pricing options make any sense for me.
PS: I passionately dislike watching videos and find it almost impossible to learn from them. I mean really learn, not just feel like I've learned.
