It's easy to just ride coat-tails and see it in action. Of course, actually using the ideas is another matter entirely, but that's what SMfW is for.

Not because a bunch of other people wanted something like it in the past. Sure, I might buy it quicker if I thought it would sell out. But still...only if I actually wanted it in the first place. So all you've gained there is quicker sign-ups. But who cares? Money is money...today, tomorrow, what is the difference?

Of course you're in love with it! Rightly so. And it speaks directly to me. But I erased the rest of my comment, so that's all I'll say. It's an effective post.

I loved the post, and my two favorite lines were "Just sayin'" and "you don’t know me from Barney the Purple Dinosaur." That was hillarious. That is a great strategy.

This approach works wonders. Flawless, really. And, it's not as manipulative as it may sound, as long as you really are delivering a quality product or service. And, obviously, you two are.

I don't have a number at which I'm going to cut off the introductory price, but it will go up at some point (most likely as soon as I have some kickass testimonials). Thanks for the validation!

It's a fantastic word. You're such a bunch of haters. I promise I'll call in. All six days, too. That may be the only work I do for the rest of the year, but I will drag myself to do that at least. :P What is with you people and “behoove”? It’s a fantastic word. You’re such a bunch of haters.
