gp_classics,

That link does not work.


budget-stretcher.com

So, I would say it needs some work..

Post when it's fixed and I'll take a look
at it and let you know what I think.

I sent you a PM about your site, I just thought I would share my thoughts..

This is what I said..

OK, I see that you have your site going to a blog by Blogger.

I have a few things that caught my eye, nothing personal...

Just trying to help!

OK, here it comes..

The things I like -

- The layout is nice.
- I like the colors.
- The niche is great for these times.

Now the things I noticed..

- Your paragraphs are to long, you need to shorten them to around 5 lines each. People get lost when reading, break it up and make short paragraphs.

- If your e-book has helpful hints and you have affiliate links in your e-book, GIVE it away and tell them to send it to their friends and family.

Everyone wants to save money these days not spend it! If you want your e-book to be viral then give it away. Have a download link or you can have a opt-in form and collect their name and email and send weekly or monthly saving tips. Then you could promote other affiliate links through email.

- Check your sentances, some words just don't flow well.

- Give more information about the e-book.

1. Tell them why they need it .

2. Tell them something on page #X and how much they could save with this one little hint.

3. Give a testimonial.

EX. On page/chapter #X you'll learn XXXX, By doing this, I saved $XX.XX

4. You have a picture of a woman at the top, then I read where it says 'My wife and I had the same problem.' I first thought the site was owned by a woman. I really don't have a clue who ownes the site.

Promote YOU and people will trust you, don't hide behind the site. Let people know you are a real person!

- Sign your name at the bottom!
This is free: http://www.mylivesignature.com/ you do not need to join just have them email it to you after you make your sig.

Well, that should give you a little to chew on, I hope this helped!

Good luck,

Bill I just read this post just after I came out of the site for newbie advise. It seems to me that some of this information ie: suggestions on ways to make the blog for effective are great.

I haven't seen them any where else. I also did not realize I needed to look at these things myself. So please consider moving some there for us newbies who may not see this post.

Thanks
