The October class for "Achieving Minimalism: Theory and Practice" will open for enrollment on October 25th and close on October 30th. The price is still $499 and the class is NOT for veteran readers/listeners/viewers. The class is intended for any newcomers who do not have the time to wade through the various thousands of posts, podcasts, and books and want an accelerated, condensed class on minimalism. It is also intended for anybody who wishes to get their financial act together, or otherwise anybody who is spending more money than they make and simply cannot kick the habit.
You can view the outline of the class here, however the "enroll button" does not work. That again will work starting October 25th.

ReplyDeleteSince you repeat yourself reliably and frequently, how much time would this really take?
Twenty hours with a decent Internet connection to skim through the essentials?
You're not competing with the market then, you're competing with yourself.
Are you providing a better solution with better results at or lower than the comparable market rate of going the longer route?
So you'd make less money per seminar taker at $295 instead of $499 perhaps?
If that's a problem with your gross receipts, then the actual problems are with your content, your marketing, or both.
And seeing this from a Management perspective, seeking this chunk of change from your mostly American readers right now, given that buying ammo ante electionem is probably more attractive than bedding an entertainingly pneumatic blonde or listening to Aaron Clarey tell them they should want less ammo, this is an enormously fat wad of cheek.
But let's be real about this: "various thousands of posts" doesn't exactly scream minimalism, does it?
Enticing would-be students to pay above-market rates for Cliffs Notes?
We were not aware that you were considering going into academics after all these years!
Where do we send the Academic Giro Technician honorary DSc? :-)
