I agree with what you say. But I do not have an answer to the pricing question. I still have not sold a product of my own. But plan to do it in the future. I have to give more thought on the pricing issue.

I feel you should give enough away and make it worth while in order to build yourself up and prove that you're good for your word and what you have to offer. Then sell, but for how much exactly? What do you think? .-= Eric´s last blog ..<a href="http://bluepop13.com/2010/02/05/real-or-robot/" rel="nofollow">Real Or Robot</a> =-.

But, as an entrepreneur you have to be thick skinned. I watch the show not only for the dragons but also for the entrepreneurs who bring great ideas and concepts to the table. Bill Gates was forced to give away IE for free. Netscape was the dominant player then. Microsoft tried to buy Netscape. But when that failed they killed it by giving IE for free. .-= Aaron´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techthinker/~3/ru0UiZJFmxw/" rel="nofollow">Passion vs. Enjoyment</a> =-.

I have seen DD, and I like the British original. Thank God we never tried to recreate "All creatures great and small." Man, I miss that show. Or Monty Python. It just wouldn't have worked. I watched the US version of 'The Office" last night on Hulu, just to see why it seems to be so popular. I haven't seen the British original, but the US version...uhh...I just don't get it. It's not that funny. It's not the actors. Steve Carrel in both of the "Almighty" movies (especially Evan Almighty) was hysterical. Whew...I feel better now.

I think most of the point here are worth noting but giving something away free is what Bill Gates used to get Internet Explorer Uber Popular globally. Sometimes i refuse to listen to some of these "successful" business Moguls. It could have been pure luck that got them to where they are. The only AUTHORITIES I will always listen to are Donald Trump (simply because he went broke and bounced back BIGGER), Warren Buffet (because he is the GREATEST allocator of capital ever) and Sir Branson (Because he has shown us you can be a billionaire and have fun all the way while doing things your own way). Generally, I'm not a fan of DD. I'd rather learn from the lives of the 3 guys above. .-= Olusegun´s last blog ..<a href="http://internet-earner.com/2010/02/05/blogging-lessons-from-hip-hop-artistes/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed" rel="nofollow">Blogging Lessons from Hip Hop Artistes</a> =-.
