Can you tell what type of clients you got more at 1st the small or the big ones (25$/mo or 100$/mo)? Where do you want to focus your efforts (the small medium or "consultancies")? Edit: Q is for Planscope

Edit: Problem solved. Thanks Brennan!

That's the ejunkie default, it should be fixed now - did you email me about it? I'm more than happy to manually resend.

Yeah I did email you about it earlier today as I wanted to read your book this weekend :)

My apologies if I am being too impatient. If it's the default setting I agree you went with it. (Amy Hoy would call this "worry about it when you are rich" wouldn't she?)

How do you market to someone that is immediately skeptical of any long form sales letter promising five figure a month income?

I think you either a) let testimonials from third-parties try to assuage the skepticism, or b) you write them off as nerds who aren't going to buy your stuff no matter how you market it.

On the first point, I highly recommend Brennan's ebook (I can't really speak to the workshop or planscope). I bought and read the ebook a couple weeks ago and successfully jacked my rates by 50% and I've planning another similar increase within the next 12-18 months.

On the second point, nerds are a dreadful audience to market to in many ways. We're pedantic, skeptical, and have a horrible case of why-pay-when-I-could-do-it-myself-itis. That Brennan is doing so well with this market is a testament to the value he's creating.
