Does this have potential?

Hi everyone,
time equals money, so long story short:
I quit IM. Long time ago (256 days ago to be precise). It has happened for couple of reasons - i was making reasonable sales thru my FB page, +-20$/week, it was enough for me as high school student, and it was pretty much passive income, BUT then FB banned my page. Huge disappointment and tears. Page had legit 3k fans and it was raising daily. Then I proceeded to build my own product and try it as vendor. Failed launch, made like one sale the first day and I that was it (lack of affiliates+didn't promote myself). After that the school kicked in and I had no more free time to do IM. Graduated successfully yesterday, so I finally have some time before I go to the University.

I logged my CB account today, to find out I've made 50$, from my two blogs, over the period. I checked what products I promoted, and I though "damn, did people really buy THIS one?" (the sale pages were just awful tbh).
I have a product in similar niche and I believe my sales page is way better. Judge yourself: www.cookbookdeluxe.com

I need your help. What do you think about the product, sales page, etc.? Is there anyone willing to promote this one? Is there anyone willing to give me an email blast? No? How can I change your mind, what should I improve? (I believe link to promote this should be: www.cookbookdeluxe.com/?hop=XXX ; replace XXX with your CB username? Not 100% sure, but I sent request to CB to put it back to marketplace, so eventually you can find it there.). I believe I set the revenue for affiliates at 2/3 (66,6%), but I am willing to go higher for those who succeed in promoting.

The product is legit, written by myself, it's high quality, no bullshit. I spent good two months writing the book, taking pictures and more than two months actually collecting the recipes and trying them out myself. (I'm amateur bodybuilder).

Thank you for your time and patience.

This have huge potential buy your website is not that attractive
 
First you must improve the design and second, the page speed. After that, promote it. Good luck.
 
Looks good, but the loading speed is an issue. Other than that, promote away.
 
I noticed the slow load speed as well, but it's due to the hosting, don't think i can do anything about that but buying new hosting :/

The design of the page was meant to be really simple and clean. You don't like that? :(

Also, promoting myself is one way, but I'm not really that experienced, I was looking to find affiliates, that would help me. Apart from this website, where would you guys recommend to find experienced affiliates? Perhaps, someone with huge email list in this niche? I know that everyone successful is keeping their niche hidden, so how does one contact/find such a person? I was thinking of perhaps contacting few hot sellers on CB in the same niche, but are they interested in promoting their competitor for commission?

Thank you for your support and advice guys.

I agree with putting the price at 17, PM me and I'll give you a method which helped me speed up loading speed of a page I was working on. If that doesn't work, you can host it on one of my servers for free to help you get back into IM.
 
Just look at similar products with high gravity on CB. What do they have that you don't?
More images, testimonials, stories... you might consider adding that 60days money back stamp, although it seems silly for me. But it might work.
Try to make it not look like one-in-all page, so boring and typical for CB, it will seem more serious.
Buy stock photos (happy people cooking), it will look more personal... no offense, but we made sites like this on high school using notepad.
If you think it has ability to sell, i would have it done completely redesigned + text by copywriter... requires cash of course.

Nothing really to be honest. Only their page has a video usually, which autoplays as soon as you enter the page ( i hate this feature myself, not sure if it helps for sales tho). They also have more testimonials.

It's already there, in the P.P.S., although I can try to make it more visible.

It was my point to make it really simple, nothing too fancy, but perhaps I over did that.

Thanks for constructive criticism man. I'll definitely try to do something about it, I'll probably just redo the page all over. And reprice it to 17$. Then I gotta find the affiliates and see what I can get from it.
