How Much Would You Invest in Yourself?
Feb 4th, 2010 by Nut
I’ve been getting some great free content from Ramit’s newest project, Earn1k.com. And on Sunday he opened it to everyone and revealed how much it costs and what the details are.
The course is aimed at getting you to earn your first $1,000/month by starting a new site/business or doing freelance work on the side. Right now I’m all about finding bigger and badder ways to make money (Adsense does NOT count), so I was very interested in his program.
And even though Ramit hates to hear this question, I want to know if it’s worth the money.
There are three packages:
- One includes private coaching and office hours, and it sold out at $3,000.
- Another is a step down and doesn’t include the private coaching. That one goes for $1,500.
- The most basic course includes a lot of great stuff—it goes for $500.
A couple things: Ramit is trustworthy—he’s proved this over the years and with his other programs (Scrooge Strategy). Also, he’s got a 30-day money-back guarantee. Not happy? He’ll send you your money back.
And I’m struggling with the following: is it worth it or can I pull it off without paying $500?
Obviously, if it works and I can make $1k in a month, the $500 will pay for itself pretty quickly. But there is a fear of failure built in there.
What if I fail? What if the program is fantastic but it’s me that can’t pull it off?
I’ll feel like a sucker with $500 less than I had before.
I’ll give Ramit credit, he’s done everything beautifully on the promotion of this program. He’s addressed all the questions and issues that might keep people from buying the program. That’s why he sold out of the expensive tier so quickly.
Would you buy into Ramit’s program and take a shot at making $1k per month with a money-back guarantee? It sounds like a slam dunk but something continues to keep me from pulling the trigger, and I think it’s the fear of failure.
I’m curious what other people think about this.
