Getting very twitchy now….

Apr 30th, 2005 | By Nicola Cairncross | Category: Money Gym | Diaries

I’m getting very very twitchy now.  Steve has gone away for a stag weekend in Newquay and, while I will miss him obviously, it means I get my hands on his dial-up connection via his laptop networked to mine.
I’m working with two lappies in the dining area of our new house and my brain just [...]



Playing again!

Apr 29th, 2005 | By Nicola Cairncross | Category: Money Gym | Diaries

I’m just playing with Armand Morin’s great new software tool Directory Generator in spite of all the frustrations with dial up.  It’s guaranteed to create a massive surge of traffic to the designated sites so that’s gotta be good, right?  I’ve created several directories already….



The Book Is Published!

Apr 28th, 2005 | By Nicola Cairncross | Category: Money Gym | Diaries

My book went live on Bookshaker.com today!
This started life as an idea for 10 core Wealth Creation topics, then it grew into 10 key points about each topic, then I grew it into a paragraph or two about each key point, then I added an action step for each key point, I threw in [...]



Whew! what a week!

Apr 28th, 2005 | By Nicola Cairncross | Category: Money Gym | Diaries

This broadband thing is really getting to us now…….I never realised what a difference it makes.  Steve has managed to cobble together a dial up connection (set price, unlimited time fortunately!)  to our new phone line so we aren’t having to share the woefully inadaquate Vodaphone 3G card now, which means I can get online [...]



Blogging At The Speed of Dial Up

Apr 23rd, 2005 | By Nicola Cairncross | Category: Money Gym | Diaries

Well, you may have noticed that things have been a bit quiet round here recently. 
That’s because we decided to move house very suddenly!  Last tuesday I went to view a house in my ideal location - Shoreham Beach - that Steve had already seen…… 



The Reservoir System In Marketing

Apr 12th, 2005 | By Nicola Cairncross | Category: Money Gym | Diaries

I’ll never forget when my Business Coach, Chris Barrow, told me about the reservoir system, the sense of relief I got when I understood that, if you could just fill up your reservoir of "potential future clients" then, every time you topped it up a bit, some would spill out the other side into actually [...]



We are 3G enabled (miracle!)

Apr 11th, 2005 | By Nicola Cairncross | Category: Money Gym | Diaries

Well, finally, we are 3G enabled.  No more paying hotel broadband bills, or being dependent on wireless signals that come and go.
But it wasn’t without it’s hiccups, and the Vodaphone systems crashing on the very day they finally got the cards in didn’t help. 
But Superman Steve got it all working (with some choice swear [...]



Affiliate Income Update

Apr 10th, 2005 | By Nicola Cairncross | Category: Money Gym | Diaries

I was wondering idly how much my various affiliate incomes add up to now and so I went to do a bit of a back-of-a-fag-packet calculation.
It’s well over $700 per month……..that’s quite something.  The Google Adsense catagories that are performing best are "interior design" and "hospitality" interestingly - and I don’t even have proper sites [...]



Cool little Google AdSense Tool

Apr 10th, 2005 | By Nicola Cairncross | Category: Money Gym | Diaries

I’ve just found out about a great little tool called SysSense which allows you to download a little bit of software (it’s not free but it is "donation-ware" which means you make a donation when you download it) which then tracks your Google AdSense earnings from your desktop.
I’ve just downloaded it and I’m waiting for [...]



Wealth Conference Audios Finished!

Apr 4th, 2005 | By Nicola Cairncross | Category: Money Gym | Diaries

It was a big day today;  Steve finished and uploaded the edited audio recordings from the UK’s 1st Wealth Creation Conference, I finished and uploaded the three sales pages, split testing the three different price points.  We have finished all the back end at the shopping cart - adtracker, products, autoresponders - the whole shebang.  [...]
