Great work getting this together, building a curriculum, a pricing model and a website. Some feedback:

- I don't trust you yet - I saw the pricing before I gained trust in you as a tutor. Why should I learn how not to procrastinate from you, for money?

- The video I watched was quite dry - to be honest I found your presentation style a little monotonous and not very engaging.




Thank you for the feedback! Much appreciated.

Trust - Yes, I've collected some testimonials from other products (book, extension, Deschool program), but none about the course yet, since it's brand new. I'll work on this.

Video - Thank you. I'll plan on improving the course continuously. I'm more animated in some videos, but I'll re-record others.

This is the 1st version of the product. My background is programming, so I plan to update this as if it were a software product (it partially is).

Again, thank you for the feedback!


It is a great v1 - keep it up!


Thanks!


Your first point was my first thought as well -- who is this guy, and why should I trust that he's an expert on this?


I had the same thought about trust. For me even if you are not an expert in the scientific sense, some reasons why I should believe in this course would be good. Maybe you’ve tested it on X people and they have reported success, and have stories themselves that are convincing.

I didn’t find the voice monotonous and I like the clear instructions and advice.
