One thing I would like to clarify, as a European, it’s not that we “expect2 everything to be free, we just hate being “sold to”… we are far more cynical than you lot on the (wrong!) other side of the pond! are.

Hype rarely works on any of us like it does on Americans.
That much is true.

Yeah you’re right, Especially as the way I intend on building my online living won’t impact this site at all, so it’s all good.

It’s basically what you’re already doing. When the money comes things might need to shift but ultimately your readers build your blog, your customers make you money. That’s all the difference is in my eyes.

What do you think, James?

I think you’re going to do just fine though because your readers know you’re going to be selling something but also understand that we come first and then the site is going to remain free, obviously.

Though keep in mind that once you start making money you’ll have a serious choice to make along with that: keep readers or buyers first. Keep up with both, yes. Keep up with both equally is another question all in itself I’ve seen around the blogosphere.

It’s great that you have had a good response, just getting those conversions now, thanks for the advise, when do you plan on launching the course?
