So all you want to do is push your product? You could have just been straight forward and say it: you charge 19.99CAD for IELTS Practice Tests or 38.00CAD for Full IELTS Courses. What makes your product better than the hundreds of "Online IELTS Courses and CDs" out there?
If people wants to pay for IELTS tutorials, they would've done it already, same with members that are on other forums on this site. Rather than paying thousands of dollars on immigration consultation, they ask for advice from members that went through the same process. People come here for free help, no paid services.
Immigration consultation and IELTS help are very different things. Also, thousands of dollars and tens of dollars are very different things!
Johnny, I know you contribute a lot here, and I'm sure there are hundreds of people here that appreciate your help. The links you provided look good (although two of them are pay sites...), and the info you give seems sound. But just because people are on this site doesn't mean they all want everything for free. Some people are still interested in what's out there. Some people don't know such services exist.
How is our product different? It takes a psychology of learning-based approach. Our course is not about "do this do that" (although there is of course some of that), it's about learning how to effectively learn - how to retain important information, how to process information quickly and efficiently, and how these skills apply specifically to the IELTS.
Also, our product has a broader scope than most. All audio is recorded by British English professional actors (including audio for all reading passages). We provide a fully narrated 450+ slide interactive course with embedded quizzes, essay submission and professional editing services. We also provide a bonus English writing course, separate from the IELTS course, but obviously still applicable. And the package comes with the three practice tests, which mimic the IELTS better than any off-market practice test I've ever seen. Also, there is an extra "test" which features every question type you will encounter on the IELTS. Also, we offer HD videos (independent of our YouTube channel) as part of the package.
Some people like options. I happen to think ours is a pretty good one. But of course, to each his/her own.
