		<title>Comment on What&#8217;s Wrong With Internet Marketing? by Victoria Bazeley</title>

		<description>Rodger,

I enjoyed your ebooks. I wanted to suggest that you add something to your "Who Is Your Customer" concepts, and that is learning style/delivery method. For example, I greatly preferred your ebooks to your audio/video information because I learn and retain information much better when I can read it. I simply do not learn well from lectures, videos, podcasts, etc. Not surprisingly then, I get bored during them and my attention always wanders. I also subjectively feel (rationally or not) than videos and audio seminars, etc. are more time consuming for me. 

Other people, of course, feel much differently. So I think it would be beneficial for you (and other people who develop information products) to think about different delivery methods that cover the bases, and to do some research on what types of delivery methods are preferable for the audience. You can then do some marketing around the convenience or suitabilty of the delivery method (i.e., it solves the problem in a convenient way). 

Overall, I think you did a great job of summarizing a lot of pertinent information in the two books, and I thank you.</description>

		<description>Great slide show.

This concept reminds me of Miyamoto Mushashi's comments in the Book of Five Rings where he advises warriors and others to, among other things, "Pay attention, even to trifles."
