I also don't want them falling into the hands of those who shouldn't be using them. On the other hand, how do I charge what I believe they're worth - at about $100 a copy - when they're being tested, and I don't know how to specify what women will be affected by which programs? I'm a little lost on how to proceed in a reasonable manner.
Shannon, you can release these as a $100 product, with a program where up to ten $10 gift certificates will be issued to each purchaser, one for each properly-executed experiment and feedback is posted.
Paying people for their feedback is a sure way to accomplish 2 things.
1. Those who are skeptical will claim that they are just saying whatever I want them to say because they're being paid to.
2. At least some people will say whatever they think I want them to because they get money for it.
Aside from that, I think 10 trials is a bit low. Maybe $5 per report for 20 reports.
How do you respond to my points on this?
