I don’t think there is anything wrong or disingenuous about this business idea. Artists from all walks of life find ways to supplement their income. As long as the ‘non hit-writer’ views this as a one-to-one workshop rather than a short cut to hit song success and they are happy with the cost I don’t see too much of a problem. It’s all about expectations.

There was a line in the advertising that made me smile though, it said:
