I’ve been following a business that a fellow financial blogger is running, called Only72 and I’ve signed up to be one of their partners. That financial blogger is the fellow behind ManvsDebt.com, Adam Baker, whom I had the pleasure to meet not long ago. He has partnered with Karl Gajda, the owner of Ridiculously Extraordinary.com. Their business has a pretty interesting concept — they hold very short term sales of product packages that are offered by many known names in different online niches. The “72” in Only72 stands for the length of availability of the product set they are selling, which happens to be a mere 72 hours. These sales don’t occur very often (they must take some effort to coordinate) — maybe a couple of times a year — but they cover quite a lot of product and material.
What you’ll get during each sale: Best-selling products by the most popular names in a particular niche. You’ll get them at a 90% discount from their regular prices. You’ll also get them as a downloadable collection.

Hmmm. 23 Business Courses that normally costs $1,052, and now it’s at a discount for $97??? That’s 92% discount! It makes me wonder if it was really worth $1,052 to begin with?
Good question! 🙂 The value is something that is set by demand/supply factors I would believe. The online business niche works to publish and develop their own products and I’m sure they figure out the optimal pricing for their products. It just depends on the audience.
But that’s a good point to make. If the sale is long term then you are right, it’s probably not a true discount.
Could also mean that a lot of people would have a serious interest in 5-8 of the courses (different courses based on the person), meaning that it’s $12-$18 for each of those course, with $0 value for the others.
Baker’s an interesting case study in blogging success. He and I got started at about the same time, and I was among his first wave of followers. In fact, I wrote a fiction story about his fight against debt that you can find on his site. (Yeah, it’s a slightly weird story, of course).

@Kosmo,
Leave it up to you to come up with something really cool and quirky like a fictional story on someone’s fight against debt ;-D . I still have that guest post on the Digerati story you came up with a while back and will have to put it on the site sometime (I’m trying to figure out where it will be best placed and appreciated)! Thanks for the comment, man!
On the topic of courses, I am the type who likes to check these things out as they are a great way to “pick the brains” of others. Self-help and business books are some of my favorite picks when I hole up at book stores and libraries (along with crime, mystery and science).
I think that course number 15 (business set) will be in high demand. I spend one to two hours daily on forums and there are many people who visit these forums to learn affiliate marketing. Most of the people who are facing financial problems or people who want to become rich are in the affiliate marketing business and are always looking for the secret to make huge sales.

If there’s one thing you can expect from me, it’s the unexpected 🙂
I love how they priced these products plus the fact that they will be sharing $5 for charity. Buying these means learning and helping. 🙂
