@bradenslen The best intro for people deciding whether to try it out here I've seen. But I think it would be best to warn them about no Likes over here. Or are you afraid that will scare them off?

@Ron I decided to keep it as non-technical as I could and to try and focus more on the social network side. I also figured between the video and difference between Twitter and MB help guide it would be mentioned. In sales, people are always looking for reasons to say, "No" so my goal was/is to just get them to try it and see for themselves. If I said there were no Likes half would say, they could no imagine survival without Likes and walk off. :-)

What bothers me is I mentioned the free route into the MB social side. I try not to mention that much because those hosting bills have to get paid. But I felt I needed to for that post. But still, it bothers me.

@bradenslen I see. I had not watched Manton's video in context. When you do that, I agree, he takes care of that just fine! On your other issue, that bothers me too. Maybe in #2 add that they'd use the user name they selected in the trial. You could stop right there, as you've made the case for moving by then. And before they've tried it, they can't really make any fair judgment about $5 vs no $5 anyway. At most, just say you favor #1 because the bills need to get paid, but it's not required. So #1 is the real pitch and #2 is just to handle the objective for anyone who is super cost conscious.

@bradenslen - objection, not objective.

@manton You're welcome. That video really helps explain MB. I hope you do more of those.

@Ron Or #2 is for people who have already established a blog and have no interest in moving their content but are interested in socialising. I tend to make my decisions on pros and cons and prefer to know some of the cons up front.

@amit I think persuade might be a more appropriate word. Convince has a feeling of forcefulness.

@ramblinggit.com Ah yes, I was going for that. But you are right. That slight difference is important, better to be clear. We should persuade them by advising to join the platform.
