I have one I think could be a hit, and I'd love to hear from any of you that have tried this method.

Oh, and if you are not sure what the Tim Ferris method is...he recommends you create a sales page and use Adwords BEFORE creating a product to test demand.

There's more to it than that, which is why I'd love to hear from some of you that have tried it

No one? Really?

I never got that far in the process. Once I realized that Tim went to Princeton to learn business, I saw that he could make the act of starting one look easy on paper, while the actuality of it is going to be really hard. That's when I put it aside for the time being and pursued other interests.

Ah well, I guess I get to be the guinea pig

Maybe I need to post in the technical forum, because I want to figure out how to do certain things with the pages (capturing email addresses, bounce rates, etc).

I'll post back once I get the results.

i read 4hww but didn't get to the point of testing either. guess i wasn't able to come up with the product idea that i would really like so that stopped me from everything else

i can help you with email address/order data capturing, bounce rates/statistics and other tech things, so please send me a PM if interested (i'm a web developer).
