Guys,

Since you charge $9, I'm assuming you're competing with Peepcode. If
so, you should advertise what you get along with the video...PDFs,
full source to working samples, etc. Also, you should indicate the
total running time of the video, and in what format(s) it is
available.

Good luck!

Good point Mark,

I just updated the Product notes with that information.

Gregg,

alternatively you could adjust the price of the screencast, so you
will automatically not compete with Geoffrey anylonger. ;-))

Greetings

Michael

Michael,

I totally disagree. You only compete on price if you are dealing in a
commodity. I would hope we are not here. If Gregg and Jason truly have
superior content to Geoffrey, the market will decide based on value,
not price.

Mark,

you're absolutely right.
That's why I added a big smiley to my post.

I was just commenting your sentence below. One could think, because Ryan doesn't charge users for his Railscasts, he is not in a competition.

So don't worry, it was just a kind of a joke.

Regards

Michael
