Default Can you write a testimonial for my e-book on focus?

Hi everyone, I just finished writing an e-book on focus. I'm trying to sell it for $10 on my website but no one, besides me, has even read it yet. I was wondering if I could get a few people to read it and provide a testimonial for it so I can put it up next to my e-book?

I think it will help people who are currently having trouble focusing on school, goals, and everything next to Personal Effectiveness (above). If you don't want to send me a testimonial, that's fine too, you can keep the e-book for free...

I just wanted to know if I could do this and if it was okay with you guys? I've been a member of this forum for I think 2 years. If anything, I think it would be a nice contribution to the forum as a way of giving back. I also put this message here because I think the e-book would probably be better suited for people of this forum rather than the Business & Financial forum.

Would anyone be interested? Can I put the link to my e-book here?

Waiting for any responses...

I would be interested in this. About to go back into education so would help me and I would provide an honest testimonial.

Look forward to hearing from you!

Thanks everyone for your interest.

Here is the link to my e-book: Ultimate Focus Guide | How To Focus Better

I just changed the price from $10.00 to $0.00 so it's free, but people who visit the site from somewhere other than this forum won't know that.

All you have to do is click on Add To Cart, checkout, your first and last name, and email, and the e-book will go to your email address. Then you can just download it and read it on your computer.

After you're done reading it, can you just write a few sentences about what you thought of my e-book?

Some questions to consider are:

1. What problem did you have regarding something related to focus?
2. How did the e-book help you out with your problem?

Any other thoughts would be appreciated. Please send your testimonial along with your full name (and location if you want) to my email address at hulbertlee@gmail.com.

And... that's about it. I've never asked participants online to do this so I really appreciate it. I hope you like my e-book. Thank you!

I read through the first pages of the books and a bit of feedback:
1) Why do you start by telling me about the different lobes in the brain? What do you expect the reader to learn through reading the page?
2) Your sentences are too long. There no reason to write "The temporal lobe is located
under the parietal lobe and is responsible for processing information
from your senses of smell, taste, and sound, as well as playing a
role in memory storage."

"The temporal lobe is located under the parietal lobe. It is responsible for processing information from your senses of smell, taste, and sound. It also plays a
role in memory storage."
This reads better.

I don't think that your creative use of typography helps. It feel like it rather breaks the reading flow.
