I'm interesting for both of them as resource for my search engine optimization. I'm considering 2 between seomoz premium member for $49 a month and seobook training course for $100 a month. Which one is better and worth to pay for? Even I don't like Aaron wall as trashed out his seobook and left his customer behind (Yeah I am the one of them) but I think his training may have some good worth $100 a month.
I wouldn't say that I trashed out and left my customers behind...I changed business models because the last one stopped being sustainable and I feel interactivity is a big part of learning...I simply can not teach 10's of thousands of people all at the same time...I was doing so much email a day that it was starting to be about all I had time to do. I offered any of my customers who subscribed to updates a free trial. Hundreds of customers said yes...though many did not.
I didn't get any notice about free trial. The latest message I had from you is the survey and I completed it. It may be my fault that I missed some email but I do check this mail everyday. I'm going to say that you never give any privileges to your old customer but since you said you offered free trial, I have to re-check it again. However, if you feel like what you said, why you discontinued update SEOBook? you can do both business and has unnecessary to stop update ebook, which you promised given lifetime update to your customer. Unless you want to force everyone to get in your new business model with $100 a month. You never ever mentioned on discount/free trial for previous customer before until I see it here. Aaron, your book is really great and worth every cents. You are the real person in SEO industry. I have no doubt about it. I also believe your course may worth $100 a month either. Only thing that annoy in my mind is - You discontinued update SEOBook, which you promised for lifetime update. You have your word and you cannot keep it. There are two things different between smart and ethical. That's it.
I'm not one of his customers, and I really don't know him, but from a business standpoint, I'm sure that Aaron meant "the lifetime of the book" - not his lifetime. It wouldn't surprise me therefore that the life of Aaron's book has run its course, and that the time has indeed come for it to come to an end (as they say, ALL things must come to an end). After all, would you want to keep asking for updates and support for a book that was written by an author who spent so much time replying to emails that he wasn't able to update the core of his business? I know I wouldn't if it meant that the quality of the core product went down the tube.
I've used them both. I like the forums at SEObook but prefer the tools over at SEOmoz Depends what you want to get out with it i guess. Tools or speaking directly with experts?
You need to read the 4-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris (if you haven't already). I learned so much from that book, and it sounds like (from the email comment) that you should implement some of his principles (if you haven't already). I know being available and communicative to the customer is important, but having a life is even more important.
I want to subscribe but seobook is full. and i do not have credit card for seomoz. i have paypal. can you guys share your login to me and i just read, i can pay you by paypal. any other good seo resouce to subscribe?
Get a PayPal debit card or use the debit card issued by your bank (as long as it has the Mastercard or VISA logo on it). Can't get one? Go to Walmart and get a pre-paid VISA debit card.
This is the reasonable conclusion: Aaron can not be in all places at once ... but at the same time it would probably profit everyone for him to get a team in place that he could trust. The word "scalable" comes to mind. I read a book called Ready, Fire, Aim. It was powerful and made sense, even though the things outlined there are not your normal ideas about business.
i from china, can i get the pre-paid VISA debit card by pay someone by paypal? debit card is supported to subscribe seomoz PRO member?
