Methods as product is oxymoron. Method is seen by many as a loophole, shortcut, trick, something that brings more money than effort invested. In free market, exceptional ROI is always under pressure to collapse - due to game theory of course. Now, nothing about method market makes sense, as good information spreads, it devalues the method in one way or another. BHW has good obfuscation approach. People share things for free, but leave out the details to prevent saturation.
Also there is method worth evaluation issue. This one is impossible to analyze, and brings complication in form of catch 22. You need to know enough to buy it based on rationale , but if enough is revealed, you may not want to pay for it anymore. Lack of any fair system to keep both parties happy most of the time, simply proves that method market is destined to fail. And even if you managed to sell something worthy, how do you copyright your method, if it's worthy, it will spread like fire. It remainds me of the concept of "idea" worth in software industry, when people can't understand that ideas are usually worthless and that legwork is in short supply.
Tools that automate well defined functionalities make much more sense. So if you are into meta - earning, focus on creating tools or services, not fake guru method peddling.
