Good point about piling on the freebies. When I see a list of freebies added on, it makes me doubt the value of the original product if they think they need to add loads of giveaways to sell it.
Price is a difficult one. Remember the old ruling “There is no right or wrong, there is only what a market will take”. The problem your blogger & others have is one of “perceived value”. People will happily pay large amounts for say an extra flashy stripe or two on their car, but for a book or computer repair they'll count the cents. Service industries, as computer repair, tend to have price problems, because they don't have a product. “For that price I could have a new coffee table & show my friends”. All this means is that you may have to work harder on upping the perceived value of the product.
Eg. this book will enable you to …… this repair will also extend the computer's life / protect against.

Is it that much easy to believe on one's own pitch…?

Exactly. You don't need -everyone-, as much as you'd like to have them. Often it's better to get those people who understand that your product has value and are willing to work with you because of it.

That's great. I really think that people just need to look at what they do with new eyes. You wouldn't put as much passion as you do behind it if you didn't believe in it, once you accept that fact the next step is to stick to your guns when it comes to things like price. I'm really happy you liked it.
