I have seen templates similar to this. Its a marketing ploy. He only asks for the $1 to weed out the lookie loos. See, once you send the $1, he will then market his real course to you which will cost slightly more (or alot more depending on if he only as 2 stages of selling) If its 3 stages it will go something like this. Pay $1 for the options information. Later he sells a course for $99 or $199 to you (and likely he will tell you that this course is normally $1,000 or more, but its a special one week only deal where you can get it for the $99-$199) Then after you get that course, he will have some hands on training that will run you a few thousand dollars. If its only 2 stages the 2nd stage of the course might be around $499, instead of $99. But you never know...these things always change.
The info he will give you will probably be good info and make alot of sense, but for $1, he will only wet your appetite and then hard sell you on the "better" course.
There is always a chance he is a scam artist too. He might give you the good info for the $1, then when your appetite is wet and you buy the more expensive course, he could just take your money and run. Maybe do something like tell you there is a seminar in 3 months at such & such a place in your city, then when the time comes, there is no such seminar.
