Yes. That is all there was to it. Just an informertial
I am sorry if you didn't find anything useful in that article. While I am inviting people to sign up for my program in the end of the article, I also believe I gave enough tools and practical tips that someone can try and apply in their daily life that might benefit them. I am speaking from my personal experience and suggest things that helped me in the first case. My point was not to write 1 hour blog article about all causes of Anxiety and how to heal every single case. Was there something else you expected to find that I didn't cover? I would love to know. Thanks!
Maybe I'm jaded, but most articles like these are often just a bait-and-switch for something someone is selling. When I got to the end, there it was: the sales pitch. It never fails to disappoint.

The sales pitch negates the entire write-up. The program's not even ready so you're just collecting e-mails at this point.

This is anxiety we're talking about. Offering "early bird pricing" and some "free goodies" ? What the hell.

Edit: On top of that, you aren't even a licensed professional. What happens if you come across someone who you couldn't help and then he/she offs themselves because it was too much.

Thanks man!

At first I was dismissive of your message and I didn't see your true intention behind it. I have taken some of your feedback and made some changes to the copy. I believe emojis and some words weren't really fit...

EDIT: I also, included a disclaimer that people don't need to buy my program in order to overcome anxiety. I assumed it was clear in the article, but I guess not, so I added that too. Hope it helps :)

Thanks again, have a good one!
