"That gumroad course is too much!"

"All that stuff is free on youtube."
...
(A thread)

Depending on what you value and how much cash you have on hand you may be right "that course IS too much."

And,

I agree with you "that stuff IS free on YouTube"

But here is why you NEED it...

Think of that business or whatever that course is teaching as fine art.

Let's use Van Gough's Starry Night

The original is worth well over $100 million. This is like buying amazon

No disrespect but this is probably out of your reach. let's look at ways you could replicate it

Since you can't buy the original you can get a good quality print.

It looks good, not like the real thing but good.

This will cost you more ...

Think of this as buying someone's already existing business

Want to save some more money?

Go buy a puzzle. Once your finished it will look kinda like the painting minus the puzzle lines.

Its significantly cheaper but the time it takes you to figure out and piece together also cost you money

Think of this as finding your info on youtube

There is another option.

You could paint it yourself.

A canvas might cost you a few bucks plus paint.

The reality is though if you could paint Starry Night or something like it you would have and this thread would be pointless.

Think of this as just figuring it out yourself

Now that leaves us right back where we started. A course or ebook.

Think of it as color by numbers. It has all the challenge and creativity of painting it yourself and putting together a puzzle but also has step by step directions to help fool proof your efforts.

It doesn't cost you company acquisition money.

It doesn't cost you wasted time.

In the end you have created exchange you wanted in the first place Starry Night by you!

Please think about this before you keep saying what costs too much what you spend in cash you save in time.

P.S. this thread was not about paintings.
