This was exactly the model that led me to buy the full subscription to PeepCode after the first screencast -- watched one, was very useful to me, then bought the lot.

      This response doesn't address the concern of the comment that initiated it. He was suggesting that your program which currently consists of 3 $50 chunks might be too expensive for someone to risk the purchase of the first tutorial. If you could divide the beginning tutorial into a few smaller lessons, it would be far easier for someone to justify giving your program a chance. While $50 isn't a huge amount of money, your competitors have given consumers the ability to sample their videos for a much lower price. If you can't divide the beginning tutorial, perhaps you could create another, shorter video from scratch, and market it at a cheaper price. Once you have established a reputation people may feel more comfortable buying the complete set of tutorials.

      And the $50 starting price is why I'm not interested. I prefer the model of "micropayments" -- being able to purchase smaller increments for a lower cost. I need $50 too much to gamble it on a video. I can't be sure it'll be worth it.

Just checked out Peepcode after reading your comment. This is like everything I've ever been hoping for -- programmers that rock producing stuff for people who already know about programming, but maybe not that particular flavor. Someone who knows C learning Ruby will benefit from being taught by someone who knows C.
