Comments on: Should You Spend Big Money on Learning Products?

I think you are right that many of us don't value ourselves enough to invest in proper tools like e-learning courses. I personally really value education and I have no qualms paying something for it. BUT at the same time, $1000 for any one course does not seem reasonable to me. I have seen programs I wanted to invest in but I won't spend that much. I'll evaluate each time and maybe work on spending a little more when it seems that there is a lot of benefit (probably not more than a couple hundred dollars at a time though!)

Kelly–
You’ve described me to a T! I get excited reading the sales letters of info products only to be let down at the bottom when they take “3 payments of $249.” I pride myself on being a pretty good researcher, so I don’t pay more than $20 for an ebook, etc.

That being said, obviously these products help people. I might be missing out hugely for not investing.

I think that I (and maybe other mothers) don’t value myself enough to invest large sums of money in furthering my business. I need to work on that.

The problem with the money back guarantees are, some people are worried that these claims are false and the promises will not be kept, or they will bring up some fine print, which of course, many didn’t read.

I agree with what Stephanie said about the time thing. Sometimes it’s worth it because it’s like paying someone to comb through and organize the information for you. But then again, another question is, how do I know if this “editor” is doing a good job filtering out useful information for you and present it in an organize and effective way?

And I’m obviously not a mom.

I always counter the argument that you can learn it all online for free with "what's your time worth?" It takes a lot of effort to comb through the dreck that's out there, whether it's merely outdated or flat out misleading. Stephanies last blog post..My Son is Turning into a Computer Geek

I personally think there are a few really great free resources to get your started and once you’ve gottne through those and really worked them then you can add to your knowledge by purchasing select pieces. The 30 Day challenge I think is fabulous and the SEO course from J Walker.
