5DayDeal: How to improve your business and help others.

Description of contents as vague as I've ever seen. And we "gain entrance" to courses? Sorry, but there are local charities which are accountable, and which produce visible results.

This really smells like a scam, it is odd to see this kind of promotion on this site.

I wouldn't call it that if it is run by the folks who started "5 Day Deal." But over time they might have run out of juicy offers. There are only so many recognizable photo personalities, and those photographers can only give away so much and still make a living. Plus, when it comes to business tips and motivation, besides all the very good free videos online, for photography in America there is the PPA and WPPI, plus local networking. And then there is the local library; ours is amazing for business and management material.

What I was trying to say in my above post is that, without something tempting and clearly described, charities are competing against better known organizations nationally, and against local organizations that often involve friends, family, and colleagues. Or churches, fire departments, etc. So the the "deal" should be pretty good to attract donations, otherwise, people with a giving mindset have so many other better known and closer to home options.

Again, I wouldn't accuse anybody of anything less than 100% honorable, but this round seems a bit vague and not as well thought out. Just one gorilla's two cents worth of opinion.

As I can see, it's a year of some cloud storage (with the price slightly lower than the list price) bundled with lots of stuff that I would personally call "freebies".
