Need Feedback on my Ebook - Free copy

8 replies
Hi,

I put together my ebook "start a profitable internet business in 90 days or less" based on 12 + sites I've built, made profitable then sold.. 100% original content and I just need your feedback!

I targeted the EBook towards beginners, because I was very overwhelmed when I got started. Essentially it's step by step from idea conception through getting your site up and running and SEO techniques. without needing any coding experience etc.

I woud love some constructive feedback, testimonials etc.

EDITING to add the link WITHOUT opt in

you can pick up a copy at ----- 3.16.09 pulled link.. lots of downloads only a couple feedback emails.. ----

if you use my signature it takes you to an opt in.. so use the link above for the free copy without signing up

Looking forward to hearing what you have to say..
Lindsey

    I may be out of line here, but from what I've seen on other similar posts, you're likely to get more response if you ask for reviews and make the product available without an opt-in.

    If I'm wrong, I hope an experienced Warrior chimes in - but that's what struck me!

        Lindsey,

        I see it all to often when someone posts a link to try to collect email addresses and the thread is gone. Sometimes Warriors don't care (depending on your rep here) and sometimes they'll report you.

        You've done the right thing

    This is not a free copy because I have to give out my email address.

    You should probably edit out your link because you shouldn't be collecting email addresses disguised as a "Free Offer" for "feedback".

    If I have to give you something, its not free.

        Lindsey,

        Overall the books looks good. Here's my sincere feedback.
        1. How about removing the EBook from the title? EBooks have gotten a little bit of bad reputation and may dilute the impact that using another term may have. For example, you may want to say guide or something to that effect.
        2. You could add a resource section at the end, may be with your affiliate links?
        3. Chapter titles could have bigger font size to make them look like a paper/traditional book.
        4. Going through the content, it looks like lot of text although great information. You may want to spruce it up a little, add some graphics, graphs, tables.
        5. Pages in a chapter should have chapter title on the header or footer of the page so it's easy to recognize where a page fits in the overall book.
        6. How about adding a single line spacing in the list of Chapters. It will make it more readable and easy on the eyes.
        7. The blue color in the hyper links makes me think that they will take me online. Just a though
        8. Also adding page number next to the chapter titles seems more prevalent.
        May you have great success.

          Thank you so much for your constructive feedback! I was also noodling around with the idea of making in an "e-course" and breaking the book up into 10 autoresponder courses.. or is that just annoying?

          again, great tips.. thank you! Lindsey
