I was curious about Matt's Course myself.
There's only one reason I didn't buy it. I didn't think is information sounded "unique" enough to warrant the investment.
There are so many courses available on the infoprenuering subject . . . you really need a unique or different angle.
Matt's site did seem very personable, though. Especially when he talks about how the info-giants make their money while offering [many times] a minimal amount of substance.
One the subject of front and back end products; I think it's a great idea as long as the front end product is reasonably priced.
If I spend $29 USA on a course and I recieve something that seems SOLELY designed to sell a higher end $150 & up course, I'm not too happy.
The front end course may not offer great details, but it should provide decent content.
Many do not.
Likewise, if I spend $100 or more for an info product, I hate to receive something that resembles poor photocopies.
Sorry to ramble!

P.S. I very much enjoyed Ken Silver's E-Book Secrets.
