    For example, instead of a $2,000 price tag, the course creator will market the course for $1997?

    It's called "Charm Pricing," or sometimes "Psychological Pricing."

    It's essentially a cheap psychological trick that virtually every retailer uses to give the perception that their product is cheaper than it actually is and to encourage a purchase.

    You'll also notice that if the price tag is in the thousands, it will not only end in a 7 (sometimes 9), but often the comma separating the first and second digits is removed, likely to make the number seem smaller than it really is.

    For example, $2,000 looks way bigger than $1997, doesn't it?

    Does charm pricing actually work?

    There have been some studies on this subject, and while the psychology of consumer behaviour with charm pricing is interesting, the studies reference retailers not online course creators.

    And in these studies, some concluded that there isn't enough statistical significance to make a big difference in sales, that is to say... it only kind of works, maybe, sort of.

    So my thought is that charm pricing isn't a magic bullet for generating online course sales, and I think you're better off charging a fair, even-numbered price (i.e. $200 vs. $197) because:

    1. People aren't stupid, they know how much you're really charging
    2. It makes you look like every other course marketer
    3. Its use will not have a significant impact on your sales
    4. Its use may backfire and give an impression that you're not being honest (since many dishonest marketers use it)

    Are marketers being intentionally manipulative by using charm pricing?

    No, I don't think so. There may be some marketers who use charm pricing because they believe it gives the perception of greater value, or a "lesser price" and ultimately encourage a few extra sales, but most marketers are doing it because it's what everyone else is doing.

    As mama always said, "If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you do the same?"

    I just think that charm pricing is unnecessary, and may potentially have the opposite effect of what you're going for.

    Now if you'll excuse me while I go update my prices to make sure I'm not a total hypocrite...

    I'd prefer it if we didn't need a day to remind ourselves to be honest...

    But alas, we do.

    Anyway, I simply could not miss this opportunity to announce my new podcast and blog — Marketing Honestly.

    It's all about providing radically honest and transparent marketing guidance for the everyday entrepreneur who wants to learn how to build an ethical online business, free from shady tactics and hypey-marketing.

    You see... I really love the online business space. There are some good people doing great things that place service before sales, and people before profit.

    But there's an ugly underbelly to online business, which is full of greed, selfishness, a rat race to riches, dishonesty, and using the powers of marketing to bamboozle people out of their livelihoods.

    And in a world obsessed with shortcuts and pursuing convenience, people legitimately believe they can start a business overnight, get rich quick, and live a life of weightlessness and luxury...

    Which makes the job of the digital charlatan very easy.

    I mean, if you open your eyes, you can see it everywhere. The ads, the tactics, the pop-up guru of the week, the "proprietary methods."

    What happened to the good old fashioned entrepreneur?

    Who worked his arse off. Faced uncertainty and thrived on it.

    Shouldered the risk that his mates wouldn't dare attempt.

    He talked to real people with real problems so he could set out to make their lives better... by serving them.

    That person knows humility, grit and failure... and doesn't brag about it.

    Where did he go?

    The world killed him.

    And replaced him with a shiny veneer that looks good on Instagram, who is afraid of hard work, failure, and associates "service" as merely the last word in the acronym "SaaS."

    It's time to resurrect the real entrepreneur.

    The true lady or gentleman who is willing to work hard, be honest, and humble themselves to serve, solve problems, and provide for their families. Forging forward with full knowledge that they might fail.

    But that person needs help because the internet-powered entrepreneur needs to wade through the charlatans, fake gurus, and neverending temptations to use the unethical tactics to get ahead.

    And that's my mission at Marketing Honestly:

    "To provide radically honest & transparent marketing guidance for the everyday entrepreneur who wants to build a sustainable online business that doesn't sacrifice their ethics & values."

    So to my everyday entrepreneurs, on this National Honesty Day, let us pursue the authentic and less attractive path of ethical entrepreneurship!

    Who worked his arse off. Faced uncertainty and thrived on it.

    Shouldered the risk that his mates wouldn't dare attempt.

    He talked to real people with real problems so he could set out to make their lives better... by serving them.

    That person knows humility, grit and failure... and doesn't brag about it.

    Where did he go?

    The world killed him.

    And replaced him with a shiny veneer that looks good on Instagram, who is afraid of hard work, failure, and associates "service" as merely the last word in the acronym "SaaS."

    It's time to resurrect the real entrepreneur.

    The true lady or gentleman who is willing to work hard, be honest, and humble themselves to serve, solve problems, and provide for their families. Forging forward with full knowledge that they might fail.

    But that person needs help because the internet-powered entrepreneur needs to wade through the charlatans, fake gurus, and neverending temptations to use the unethical tactics to get ahead.

    And that's my mission at Marketing Honestly:

    "To provide radically honest & transparent marketing guidance for the everyday entrepreneur who wants to build a sustainable online business that doesn't sacrifice their ethics & values."

    So to my everyday entrepreneurs, on this National Honesty Day, let us pursue the authentic and less attractive path of ethical entrepreneurship!
