What Phil said… is he right?

I read Phil Wiley’s latest newsletter and he said, “Before long I think we’ll be seeing 2 or 3 nearly every week or the year.”

He was referring to these “big ticket” Internet marketing launches where the products sells for $997, $1497 or $1997.

Is he right?

Will we see two or three per week… every week of the year?

He could well be right… I’m awful at predictions… but my gut instinct is that this fad of high ticket launches may fade away as people become jaded with them.  

I don’t know the legality of this, but someone is currently trying to sell Mark Joyner’s Farewell Package with resell rights on ebay for $5.99! (link, may not work after auction ends) . Another guy is selling it for $9.99. John Reese’s Traffic Secrets is available at $399. Why pay $1k or $2k for something that will be available for 1/10th the price in a few months?

I expect we’ll end up seeing just a steady trickle of $997+ launches… but not the flood that Phil foresees.

What do you think?

    Hi Neil

    I also feel that this flood of high value products will not be sustained because people become jaded and will blank out all such products unless immensely useful in short term.

    I recently got an email from a well-known person mentioning that he could not sell even a single copy of a recently launched product. Indicator of things to come.
