Everyone knows that I like Jimmy Brown -- but I was really blown away today by this post (reprinted here with Jimmy's permission).
In this post, Jimmy talks about how you can leverage the hype created by mega-launches like the PLF 3.0 launch this week. You can do that by serving the people that WANT the mega-guru $2000 product, but cannot afford it.
