Someone posted a very kind and flattering message today asking "How do we pay YOU back?" I decided I'm going to take up the offer. I'm working pretty hard to make this site sustainable (and subscription/ad free) but to be honest, it can be a bit of a challenge. Sales at the e-store support the effort, but licensing agreements, wholesale costs, shipping fees, and other factors don't always leave much to work with. I try to be as objective as possible here on the board about pushing our own products, because I've always felt strongly about choice.
I was actually offered a book deal by Time Warner last month and turned it down (call me crazy) but it would have meant pulling the PDF and possibly the book itself, from the market for an extended time. Gut said no, so I said no.
Often people ask why this program isn't better known, because it works well and the support forum is unparalleled. Our goal is ultimately to get MWO into the hands of ALL health care providers, not just the rare forward thinking ones. We'd like more national publicity (I do radio when I can attract an interview, but don't care to go on TV.) We want more people to find us when using search engines. We're working on all of this but it takes a looooong time.
Someone asked in a post if I could please be more involved with newbie questions and I think that would be great, I'd love to. But there are simply not enough hours in the day. We are a small operation and I am pulled many directions.
So...for those of you who are interesting in supporting the effort, I decided to heck with pride, I'll just lay it out. Here are some very specific ways you can help:
* If you know someone in the media (a newspaper writer, TV reporter, blogger) let them know about this program. Send them to our main website at www.mywayout.org and to this forum.
* Visit the blog and *please* post a response to any of the messages there. As we prepare to market it, we want potential advertisers to know it's being read!
* When you order supplements, consider doing so from our e-store, linked above. There, I've said it. I wouldn't if I didn't think they weren't the absolute best. They're top quality and packaged in quantities to match the program schedule. It's difficult for us to compete in price with the "big guys" but we do try to offer them at the most reasonable price possible. (I swore I'd never sell them, truly it was customers driven.)
* If you've already read the book, an anonymous review on Amazon would be FABULOUS. Just an honest take on your opinion.
* Please don't make copies of the CDs or sell them on Ebay. This just kills us.
Thanks a ton for your support. It really means a lot.
