Need Feedback on Marketing-Related Ebook

Discussion in 'General Marketing' started by jhmattern, May 5, 2007.

    After being asked the same repeated questions privately about press releases for months, I decided to finally put together a short ebook on the subject, and how they can be used effectively to bring your sites exposure, quality backlinks, and even targeted traffic.

    I'm finishing up the ebook now; hoping to be through with it by this evening. At that point, I'd like to get some feedback from a couple of people before I set a price and offer it publicly. All I'm asking in return is that they share their feedback with me if they have suggestions for changes before I release it, and that they post a few sentences about it when I finally start selling it (hopefully tomorrow or Monday) - positive or negative is up to them; I just want honest feedback.

    Because I'm only going to get feedback from a limited few (because I don't feel like waiting long for a bunch of reviews before releasing it the next day), I'd like to keep it to people that have been here for a while (at least 500 posts let's say). And if you're a past client of mine with press release writing, that would be preferable, since you're already acquainted with my style and the kind of advice I give on the subject.

    You can post here if you're interested. You'd need to be able to look it over and offer feedback pretty quickly in order to do this (it's less than 20 pages, including a template and other addenda, so it's not heavy reading).

    Thanks. :)

    EDIT: OK. No response, so I finished it up and just launched it. If you'd like to buy it, it's $7 for a limited time. Details in this thread.

    I have several years of experience, a degree in the field, and I run a PR firm specializing predominantly in online PR, so press release writing (especially in relation to webmasters and online entrepreneurs) is something I'm well-versed in. ;)

    Thanks Glen. :) Have any interest in being the 3rd and final reviewer? If so, shoot over your email and I'll send it to you. All I ask is that you post some comments in the sales thread in my sig with any feedback or suggestions to improve it.
