Hello readers... once again, a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2009 and I hope your year is off to a smashing start! I have a quick favor to ask: I need some feedback from you all on a project I'm working on.
I have long wanted to put together a series of short e-booklets on various topics where I feel I have some valuable professional or life experience to share. And I have decided that NOW is the right time for me to finally write them (let's face it, last year was a bit crazy -- but in a good way, of course). The problem is, the list is long and my time is limited, and as these are e-booklets I'd like to sell via my web site (at a very small, reasonable price), I want to make sure I put my time where it will do everyone the most good. In other words, I don't want to waste time writing something no one will want to read. That's just not good business.
Instead of trying to make an educated guess at what the public might want, I thought, "Hey! I've got a bunch of people right here who can help me narrow the field!" That means YOU!
So... here is a list of topics I had in mind. All I need is for you to take a few minutes of your time, and add a comment (or send me an email if you're having trouble commenting or prefer to write privately) and tell me which of these you'd be willing to pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $2.95 - $9.95 (depending on the size of the e-booklet, but no more than $9.95 to keep it very affordable) to download and read. Or tell me "None of the above". Or feel free to write in your own ideas about something you think I'd be a good subject matter "expert" in for a project such as this -- who knows, maybe I missed something!
This may not be very scientific but it's as close to a "focus group" as I can get right now, and your help would be greatly appreciated. So... regular comments and lurkers alike, please leave your feedback now! Just type in the numbers for each topic that interests you, plus any other ideas you'd care to offer. Or send me an email with the same information. Merci mille fois!
POTENTIAL E-BOOKLET TOPICS:
- Organizing and Writing Your Web Site Copy for Best Results. I've done this for years for my clients, and now I can teach you how to develop web site copy that will help your business stand out from the masses of badly designed and written web sites!
- Tips for Creating a Web Site or Blog for your Small Business. Once again, I provide my top tips from my 17 years as a professional web designer to help you develop (or improve) your small business web site or blog. It's easier than you think!
- Coaching Yourself to Making Better Decisions. For over a decade, I have coached people from all walks of life and around the world to make better decisions by figuring out what matters most. I even have my own copyrighted decision-making tool that is included for free in this e-booklet!
- Learning to Trust Your Intuition FIRST -- and Other People's Opinions LAST. After coaching hundreds of clients, it's clear to me that many people defer to other people's opinions or judgment before trusting their own gut instincts. In this booklet, you can learn how to trust yourself first and foremost -- and make better choices in life as a result.
- The Power of Attraction: Redesigning Your Life through Focused Intention. I've done it myself, and I've coached others to do it. When you're clear on what you really want, you set the wheels in motion to make any changes you want to make, and create the life of your dreams. Find out how and let this be the best year of your life!
- Living Boldly: How to Up the Ante and Live the Life You Really Want. From my blog comments and reader e-mails, and from coaching clients privately over the past 10+ years, I know how this topic -- Living Boldly -- touches all of us in different ways. If you're not Living Boldly, now is your chance to start, and why wait another year!
- NONE OF THE ABOVE -- You wouldn't be interested in downloading an e-booklet on this topic, for a fee or maybe even for free. That's OK -- tell me so, then tell me what you WOULD be willing to pay to read!
Don't forget to WRITE IN your own ideas and suggestions, and if you send me a write-in idea that's not on the list and I decide to use it, I'll send you a FREE copy when I'm done! Thanks in advance and I'll keep you posted on which e-booklets I'm actively working on.
Looking forward to LOTS of comments on this one...
