I want to sell 1,000 people a high-end package costing $1,000

I want to sell 10,000 people an introductory package at $100

or....

Given the 'pro's disdain for Poser (deserved or undeserved...but that's another dead horse to beat..;), you've got a reputation to build, and a skeptical niche market to invade. It wouldn't surprise me if they created something that looks like Poser, acts like Poser (but is better behaved), but isn't called Poser...
