Cookbooks You'll Probably Never See: One Roast Vegetable

Recommended by someone I trust was OneRoastVegetable.com so off I go to check it out. Alas, you can't see a thing without giving up your fake name and e-mail, then, you are rewarded with, wait for it ... A Sales Page! I'm not kidding. It's a one page Web site with the sole purpose to sell something.

Not one single thing is given for free; no sample recipes, no sample pages from the e-book, nothing. You have to pay first, then you find out if what you got was anything like what you might have wanted. And, forcing people to give their email address, just to get in? Lunacy. You'll get nothing but fake addresses anyway.

I call this How To Ensure You Don't Do Well With Your Website, but hey, maybe everyone is just so darn curious they have to know how to cook vegetables (as if there aren't about a million excellent cookbooks already).

People of OneRoastVegetable, if you're listening, give us content. Then we'll give you something.

Hey there, thanks for visiting my site, www.OneRoastVegetable.com. Sorry you didn't have the experience you were looking for ... if you register with a real email address,you'll be pleased to receive the first email - it's a free, full length, full-colour illustrated recipe from the ebook on my site. And my "sales page" has sample pages from the recipes, a copy of the table of contents and lots of other goodies that your readers might like. I invite all of your readers to enjoy the free recipe for Roast Vegetable Salad, my signature recipe, available when you sign up with a 'real' email address :)

All best wishes and happy veggies :)

I still don't "get" the marketing concept of giving the potential client nothing until they first give you something. It usually works better the other way around.

I'd think you get far more people happily giving you a "real" email if you'd just post some content first.
