Default Idea to run by yea

Gordon,

My name is Blaise Dietz and my info book is in development. It is a How To money maker for college students. When I was a freshman at Western Michigan university I designed T shirts. Each design became a separate t shirt. To make a long story short I was able to purchase 100 shirts for 400.00. I was then able to sell out all 100 for 15.00 a pop. I repeated this eight times in my first semester and then went on to take orders for Fraternity and Sorority houses and made good cash. My market is all college students and I have been copying and enhancing my favorite marketing pieces (classified adds, web sites, voicemail sales pitches).....

When I believe my how to manual is ready, do you know of anyone that can help tighten it up a bit i.e. be real hard and critical of my finished product? Should I lock myself up for 6 days and learn basic web design?

Finally, I have also opened two business's (www.creativemtg.com and www.creativelease.com) in the last 10 years. I wanted to create a work at home version of the equipment leasing business on video or tape or manual or.........I will be enrolling in the square one workshops 9/1/00 and look forward to getting some help with my own personal potential.......The parable of the diamond mine hit me like a brick wall.....I need help mining! THANK YOU FOR YOU!

With great appreciation!

Blaise

Default What you should do....

Here's my opinion.... Get feedback from some of your friends whose opinions you trust, and who will give it to you straight, who are also the types of people who you think would fall into the market for your product.

Let them read it and ask them to give you the straight feedback on your ebook, the pluses and minuses.

Publish it online through Sowpub and I'll give you feedback too -- but it's always wise to get more than one opinion.

Basic web design is good to know for internet entrepreneurs....

By the way, you can read the full text of Acres of Diamonds at the link below.... (This link will also be added soon to the latest update of BYBA....)

Best wishes,

Dien Rice
