Yes, I agree - that would certainly be my reaction about "giving it a go". But then, even if I don't earn a penny, and I've merely "spread the word" about the power of Linux, then I still feel I've done a good job as an LL 'Advocate'.
But, this advert is targeted at those who are either not confident or don't have the time to give it a go (a bit like any service you pay for that you don't do yourself, for whatever reason).
Do you think lowering the price to say £10 (normal), £5 (concession) would make it more attractive?
I suspect the problem is not so much the price, as the advert being too long and also that those reading it don't know me. :-[
