		<description>Dave,

This article got me thinking about my own 1st product just getting done: &quot;How To Grow Organic Tomatoes.&quot;  57 secrets collected world-wide over 32 years with more than 43 pictures has taken 4 months.  And, people who read it say it&#039;s good.

However, I wonder if it&#039;s going to sell.  Why?

Our web site is not converting opt ins.  It&#039;s a quality blog. But, we have under 100 people.  Yet we get 50-100 people visitors per day after 4 months. Some people say this is good traffic for the short time it&#039;s been up. 

And, we have a good twitter following and PPC is what we are going to do to try to sell it for $29.95.

It&#039;s now well into the season and most people already have their tomato plants.  This late into the season is not going to help even though there are good searches on it.

So, I wonder how does one see if it&#039;s going to sell to begin with? 

I know mistakes are a normal way for learning.  However, one never wants them.  So, how can one test this to begin with?  Sell an affiliate product and see how it converts?  

Maybe! But, what else can one do?

My wife drives this.  It&#039;s her passion.  I clean up her writing and the I am the main one putting the blog together and doing everything except the research and initial writing.  

Yes, I do a ton of editing as well that digs deeply into my time for working on the other things needed for this project to move forward.

Soon, we hope to have videos to see what this will do for us.

Could you take a look and please advise us?  

One caution: The process for ordering the book is live but we have yet to create a sales page and video. This we hope to be done in the next few days and then start driving traffic via PPC and twitter. 

All ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thank you,</description>

		<description>Hey Dave, you are exactly right. I&#039;ve made the same mistakes myself. Whatever you do must be driven by the market and not by the product. Just because I think it&#039;s a great idea means little. The marketplace is the ultimate judge and you&#039;ve got to listen carefully.

I love that show!</description>
