Show HN: After $30M in Sales We've Switched Our Business Model

10 pointsby Stealxabout 12 years ago
To date we've been selling IT training courses on DVD's for approximately $400 a piece. We create the curriculum, create the content, market it ourselves, everything.<p>We've sold almost $35 million dollars of our own IT training one course at a time to about 50,000 customers in 147 countries. Being in business for a number of years we've built up expenses to approximately $500k and we're risking it all to start from 0 subscribers with the subscription model.<p>Completely bootstrapped, no outside money.

The contentless link and the spammy other comments here make me think this is someone gaming the system to get free advertising.

Sounds like a very fair pricing to me. For 600USD p.a. I can boost my technical qualifications in all directions. Guess I'll use your platform sooner or later!
