What is your time worth?

Yes I think Terrilee has given you a good sound answer. It is so easy to miss out on the things that could really help a person get started because of the charges people put on these websites. I do think that it would be great if you could wait until you started to earn before you pay. I would be willing to pay a monthly fee for something that really worked. But that's the problem how do we know it's going to work for each individual if they never get a chance to try it. There are so many people who have been scammed they don't want to pay anything to join any program. And now they don't need to, there are a lot of legitimate companies looking for people to work on-line that do not charge anything to work for them.

"A man (or woman) is worthy of their hire". For a lot of people, they don't have the extra money to spend to learn how to make more. Maybe you should offer X amount of lessons for free with an option to purchase more lessons on how they can earn more once they see you aren't like the millions of other people out there just trying to make a buck. Kind of a learn to earn plan with a added bonus. Now that you have learned how to earn, those who see you are genuine get the option to pay for your expertise. Just a thought - keeping in mind that many of the people who are looking for a way to earn money online are desperate in the beginning. Once they begin earning money, they are not easily parted with their money. You have to have something they want and are willing to pay because they see results. The voice of experience. 'Amemba how it was when I first started and could hardly afford anything. I was so poor I couldn't pay attention. You taught me more than anyone else ever could.

time is what i dont have to make money online, unfortunately. had i had it, i would have made a decent income by now. its due to my regular job and family responsibilities.

I am not sure, I guess it depends on the programs your using to make money with, so depending on what kind of programs I would not charge anything, but make it a free service and I think people would trust you more that way.
