How guys!

First of all, a THANK YOU to MJ DE MARCO and your book: The Fast Lane Millionaire. Which got me to move from France (Toulouse), to Tampa (Florida) and seek entrepreneurial opportunities that I hadn't imagined before.

My goal is to become a "self-help" author in the zen/buddhism field. I have studied 100s of books in the field and get positive feedback on Facebook, yet I would like to test my marketplace with a book I have in mind.

My challenge:

- How can I pretest a book idea and see if people are willing to pay for my product?

Thank you in advance!

Tony
