Muse Feedback

[cgardner]

I'm in the process of getting my first muse up and running and before I started driving traffic, I wanted to get some feedback from people here.

The site is http://allabouthomebrew.com

Thank you for your feedback.

Good plan with selling a guide to home-brew. Where I'm from, this is kind of a big industry, and also a good niche. I myself could even consider buying something like this in the near future!
While the idea is sound, I think your website design leaves alot to be desired. I would think, as a consumer, that when paying X amount for an information product, I would like to believe that the creation of the webpage would have cost at least that much. I think it would be worth your time and money to sign up for eLance to cruise for website designers, make something a bit more catching for the eye!
Beyond that, I would suggest taking the extra step and doing a bit of research in the creation of other home-brews. Perhaps if they were to pay a few more dollars, they could recieve a specialty e-book on how to create European-style kirsch or absinthe, or A Brewer's History of Beer, or Home Distillery 101.
Otherwise, I like the idea.
Good luck

I read your web page, and there is zero authenticity.

You need A LOT more information and more than just one picture of a dude holding beer to get people to feel comfortable with giving you money.

This line is a little counter productive:

Brewing beer at home is a easy and fun way to drink the beer you want to drink.

You want to emphasize the awesomeness that is brewing beer but hammer home how challenging and difficult it is if you don't know what you are doing.

Develop a story about how you made green beer and spent a week in the toilet.

Follow it with all the technical intricacies there are to making beer and how ignoring one with throw the recipe.

Finish it with a detailed description of the benefits of your ebook and a bulletized description of what the user will learn.

I love your design by the way. Great graphic too.
