Hi, I’m making this with @patio11. He’s a regular here, so I figured I’d post it and spend some of the day answering questions.

  I've listened to patio's podcasts and think I have some intuition about why the project is structured the way it is. But I'm not sure that this particular blog post is the right pitch to the this particular audience because there's nothing that people can walk around a kick the tires. By which I mean that the article did not have three things about A/B testing that made me say, 'gee I really want more of that'. When I hit the browser back button, I didn't feel like I my odds of making money had been increased. A few pieces of random internet advice: Don't explicitly discount preorders - making the product $900 today and raising the price later anchors differently than a discount today and at the price point you're seeking the discount isn't going to move the likelihood someone buys and in the segment into which you're selling the discount suggests cash flow issues and hence an increased risk of the presale winding up fulfilled. A little further along, in an area like A/B testing course materials, I'm on the fence about whether presales is a distraction from just completing the course. Anyone who is in an A/B testing pickle today isn't helped by purchasing a presale course and neither is anyone who can wait. Someone who has decided 'I will learn A/B testing Q1 2017' might purchase a presale, but it's hard to see a business case for doing so. Good luck.
