That's not how you are supposed to do it. You need to put the rate low enough that people don't think it's a money thing, but don't think it's worthless (as opposed to priceless). Also you look as if you are doing a combination of the "buy my DVD" model and the "I film a clip for you" model with the highly elevated asking price more typical for in person training.
The DVD model is a really poor choice. Lots of the silat people have tried this. It mainly only works if you think of the "correspondence course" as a hype or "up-sell" from your standard DVD offerings.. and even then it's only a small boost. Units shipped are low, always have been, this isn't Golf instructionals or something. The DVD model is primarily one-way also. Not the best for this stuff.
The "I film a clip for you" model (what I call the "friendly youtuber model"), isn't workable for more than a very small group. Now granted given your pedigree, language usage, and IMA reputation this may not be a very big pool anyway.. but if you are going to do it at all, it's really best to focus your efforts on where ever is likely to produce the most substantial results.
The thing is.. you are alienating your entire pool of word-of-mouth recommends by your horrible P.R. here.
I mean at this point I think most everyone on the thread would point someone at kungfu4u or anything but your resource/offering. This doesn't make sense in terms of the numbers. Assume you are completely wrong... change, 180 degree turn.
