I just checked out the Blog Classroom sales page and my gut feeling is that, while it will certainly help people, it is definitely over-priced.

Well at-least it seems that way from the Sales Page. Having not seen the course in full I have no right to comment on how good or bad their course is. This is more a scrutiny of their sales page and how it reflects the content of their course, and not a reflection of the course itself because I have not tried it.

For those that don’t know, Blog Classroom is a course on how to blog run by affiliate marketers Anik Singal and Rosalind Gardner. These two people are without a doubt successful online entrepreneurs, but have they put together a good and valuable course?

Shocking Stats (not in a good way)

The first thing which stood out to me were the stats presented on the Blog Classroom sales page.

Now you expect a $500 course to be run by bloggers that have some awesome traffic stats to show.

• 20-40 Visitors a Day is not Impressive:
  One stats screenshots shows just 20-40 visitors a day within a month of launch. But anyone can throw up 10 articles on a new blog, do no promotion & get traffic like this- it is not rocket science!
  
  Can they get 40,000 visitors within the first day of launch? Now that is what you might expect from someone who knows a little bit about blogging.
  
  Although I’m certainly no 6 figure Guru I consider myself a successful blogger that can launch a blog properly when I want to. Here’s an example of some more impressive stats of the very first blog I launched:
  
  
  
  While it was my first blog I had gained a lot of blogging experience as a freelancer.
• Where’s a successful launch example?
  Now 20-40 visitors/day is a good start for a 100% complete newbie - but it shouldn’t be used on a Sales Page to sell a $500/day course - surely they can show something more impressive than that?
