Is this scarcity marketing really creating benefits? It's an online product, it doesn't have to 'sell out'.

I have been guilty of a few of the things you have done in the past (I like to think of it as consistently inconsistent). Chris really knows what he's doing, and even more importantly: he's doing it.

Thanks so much for the props, and well done on the huge value-add. Can't wait for the big "Baker Building Kit" whenever the time comes... What up Mr. Baker!

Unfortunately we just can't afford it at this stage, although I'm sure it probably would be an investment. I've trained myself so well to not buy things that I can't bring myself to spend that kind of money. It's an interesting post though even if you aren't interested in the product. We just promoted our first affiliate product and although it's something we genuinely love and believe in we still feel a bit wrong trying to get people to buy it. The advice Chris gave you is great and we always try to remember to just 'ship it'! I think your sales writing must be improving because by the end of this post you made me really want the kit!

I dont know much about chris (i've never read his blog) but you've got me seriously considering whether or not I should buy this kit he's got. Im interested in the kind of things that he's doing, but I'm not sure that what I want to do falls in line with what he's trying to do. That being said, business is business anywhere you are, and any tips can be helpful in some way, shape or form.... I havent made up my mind, but I'll remember to get it through your site if I end up purchasing it. Wow baker.
