Q: What is the overall goal of your web site? Are you intending to provide "extras" for people who've bought the book, communicating with readers, build a community there, or selling more books? This is the most important question before you invest a lot of time and money on the marketing the site - you have to know why you want a web site in the first place. A: To answer your Q's, our #1 goal is to make SFG a household word. #2 To bring SFG to new or returning gardeners. #3 To give free updates to existing book owners. #4 To spread SFG throughout the world through humanitarian projects. I feel so strongly that single row gardening is so old fashioned, wasteful of space, water, work, land, seeds, tools, and harmful to the environment etc., etc. That I want to replace it with SFG, yet the gardening industry perpetuates row gardening because it is in their best financial interest. Just think what would the seed companies do if everyone just planted "a pinch" of seeds as we suggest instead of pouring out the entire packet. Or what would tool companies do if we all never dug up or rotatilled our existing ground but instead built beds above ground with a perfect soil mix. What happened to the buggy whip industry? I started the Foundation because I wanted to give back to society, and we started with "Square Yard in the School Yard" program. After giving away about a thousand gardens, we then got into 3rd World humanitarian projects. Everyone said if you want to reach the most people and carry on your message furthermost, all at the least cost and time, travel, involvement and so on, then you need to get a good web site up and running. That's where I'm at right now. Mel B. |
