Work At Home – A Step By Step Plan

There is a movement going on. A major shift in the working behaviour of people all around the world. Some even call it a revolution.

It is a move towards working from home, using The Internet as a means for creating wealth. In many cases, this begins as a supplementary income, a means of topping up a poor salary, or to earn the money required for a holiday or a car.  But as women particularly increasingly decide that they have had enough of doing low paid jobs just to be able to have a family, or new mums (mom’s in the USA!) decide they don’t want to go back to the corporate rat race, they start to look at a home-based business.

And the internet, with it’s low start up costs, is perfect for that.  Increasingly, people are moving home and conducting their online business activities full-time.

But it’s like the wild wild west, in America at the turn of the century….there are many people out there waiting to sell you a useless map of where to find the gold rather than sell you a shovel and some way to figure out the gold for yourself.

Just as many are failing as succeeding.

It seems that an aptitude is needed, some call it a certain mindset, in order to succeed with an online business.  Many people completely underestimate the work involved, the steep learning curve, the ability to keep growing and learning.  And so they give up at the first hurdle because they just don’t know what to expect.

Nicola Cairncross, founder of The Money Gym is regarded as a bit of an internet marketing expert – whether you want to take your existing real-world business online, or create an income online from a hobby or a passion.

She says “Something all online successes have in common is Viral Marketing. This phenomenon thrives on The Internet. In previous worlds it was known as word-of-mouth marketing, or growth by recommendation.”
But whatever we call it, The Internet has taken this form of growth to a new dimension by lubricating the means of pass-on.

All too often, Internet Marketers imagine they have got the next YouTube or Facebook, but because they have omitted some valuable viral marketing principals in their business plan, they fail.

So how can you learn what these principals are, and how can you be sure to include them in the plans for your online venture?

Well – it is possible to read about viral marketing, and there are numerous sites and services for applying the viral factor to your business. But to really understand it, and be sure of using it well, there is The Freedom Class.

This is a live laptop seminar held over a weekend at exclusive venues around the world, by Tim Brocklehurst, a recognized expert in the field.

In two days, delegates of these Freedom Classes – including Nicola & Steve and many Money Gym clients, learned and put into action, a complete business plan so that they can move forwards with a virally-growing business, and experience what it means to have exponential growth.

UFO’s Over UK – Video & Pics

Nicola says:  As a long term reader of sci-fi (love Iain M Banks) I was excited to recieve a Google alert that UFO’s were spotted over Worthing (and it turns out other parts of the UK) last weekend.

I scooted over to the West Sussex Gazette website to read the full article and was amazed to find not only this great picture by Danny Barton, but a VIDEO by Marc Baldwin’s and Danny Barton of the lights moving around over their house in Goring!

Turns out that “Emails and phone calls flooded in to the (Worthing) Herald newsdesk from confused residents who watched in amazement as up to 21 orange ball-like lights moved across the night sky over the area below cloud level from around 10.30pm on Saturday, July 25″ reports Chris Taylor.

This is going a long way to make up for my disappointment on hearing that EARTH WIND & FIRE played the Worthing Festival last week………….something no local radio station saw fit to mention, which in my mind is actually CRIMINAL!  I saw them live at Wembly in the 1970’s when they descended in a …..you guessed it….spaceship!  Co-incidence?  I don’t think so….LOL

House Prices – Latest!

Nicola says: I dont’ really need to comment do I?  Should I email to friend’s bf or just not bother? LOL

28/07/08

The National Housing Federation have forecast that house prices in England & Wales will rise by 25% by 2013.

The federation states that while there will be a slight reduction in 2008 of 4.4% and a smaller reduction of 2.1% that house prices will quickly recover and will be rising by 9% in 2012 and 2013.

It states that one of the reasons for the growth bounce-back is that there is a great demand for housing and this demand has not diminished but in fact will grow. The demand will be partly prompted by the cutback of new houses on the market as house builders mothball and delay projects during the current housing uncertainty. People are also living longer and the high rate of divorce continues to prompt demand for even more housing as couples split up and need two homes instead of one.

The Federation predicts that the cost of an average home in England by 2013 will be £274,700.

Therefore investors need to consider 2008 as the window of opportunity to buy property as cheaply as possible. There are still a large number of motivated sellers but as soon as the market starts to recover then these sellers will be more tempted to wait or increase their prices. It is probably that the current buyer’s market will only last for another 12 months so investors should consider buying now rather than paying higher prices in future years.

Wealth Coach Diaries: Nicola’s Week

This week I co-hosted a “Rent To Own / House For £1″ evening at the Burlington Hotel in Worthing, with David Lee and his lovely wife, on one of the hottest days of the year so far.  We had a bumper turnout with over 30 property investors and aspiring RentToOwn’ers there and it was great to meet new friends and old – Hi Mandy, David and Tyrone!

Well the big day is finally here – my sister Heather Cairncross’ second “Gira Con Gershwin” concert at the Ropetackle Arts Centre in Shoreham.  She previously performed it at the Arundel Festival last year and it was so well recieved she was persuaded to put it on again.  Tickets were slow to move at first, but once we set up the Heather Cairncross fanclub on Facebook, and I enouraged her to email her Arundel list a couple more times, we started to get some ticket sale action.

Kept telling her, you gotta touch people about 7 times with your sales message in different ways….and I hope she will let me do a Jeff Walker “product launch formula” with her next time.  Singing postcards by email, now there’s a thought….

I was hoping to beam it live from my laptop via http://www.Justin.tv/wealthcoach but I’m not sure the main concert hall has wireless broadband – it certainly does not get a mobile phone signal *sigh*.

Talking of product launches, Tim Brocklehurst is warming up to release the DVD’s of his Freedom Class weekend, which we all went on recently.  YOu can see Steve being uncharacteristially outgoing here while you watch these 8 excellent short videos about viral marketing and the power we are all tapping into now http://viralurl.com/moneygym/actionfreedom

Tomorrow, as it’s a kid free weekend, I’m off to lunch with one of my poker buddies, Paul Stanford, small business specialist.  Check out his fab new blog Steve made him… some great articles there already.  http://www.paulstanford.co.uk/blog/ – dont’cha just love that template which fitted his existing branding so well.

Heather came to view the poker league this week and met some of my poker buddies, including Paul.  She might come and play soon but Monday is jazz night at the Hare & Hounds in Worthing and it takes a lot to tear her away from live jazz.

I’ve just been called away from writing this, to film Steve’s golf swing with my little Flip Video camera….one of the more esoteric uses for it….LOL.  He’s got a bit of a loop going on and his mum will be consistently beating him until he fixes it apparently.  I would upload it to Viddler.com for your enjoyment and/or tips, but I fear he would, then, be justified in leaving!

Now, are you having fun in the sun?  We are!

Every Flap Of A Butterfly Wing Makes A Huge Difference

We have discovered an amazing new toy / tool this week and it’s called the Google Website Optimiser.

Now those webmeisters amongst you will already know of this wondrous machine, but most ordinary folks won’t…..or won’t have realised how easy it is to use!

Or what a huge effect you can have on sales, tweaking and tweaking and improving by tiny amounts, multiplying the effect, until you have the best possible performing sales page.  A super-model of a sales page in fact.

This is called the Butterfly Effect and is described by Wikipedia as “The butterfly effect is a phrase that encapsulates the more technical notion of sensitive dependence on initial conditions in chaos theory. Small variations of the initial condition of a dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system”

Mike Filsaime first use this phrase with respect to internet marketing, in his famous “Butterfly Marketing Report” which i have just re-read for the second time and made loads of notes from.

Credit Crunch Beating Tool #1 – The Internet

Nicola here, with a very important and time sensitive message that will help you beat the credit crunch. As we head into the time of year when, traditionally, people start to think about their life and their future, I’m writing to you because I want you to think seriously about THE most amazing wealth creation opportunity I believe we have seen for the last 150 or so years. One that will help you to stop caring about small hikes in fuel costs, slight increases in the cost of living, a half per cent rise in your mortgage rate.

I’m talking, of course, about the internet. Now, before you pooh pooh me – listen up!

I’ve been mad about the internet as a marketing medium for years, but principally for marketing real world businesses.

Real World Success #1:

I was taking bookings online at my boutique hotel, The Acacia – see the old website here www.TheAcacia.com – before the builders had even started!!

Real World Success #2:

I built the Money Gym (www.TheMoneyGym.com ) from an idea to a six figure turnover business within just 3 years, with a website, an ezine and some business cards that I never used!

BUT….

As we go to all the big Internet Marketing Conferences, we kept hearing stories of people who made a million in a day with selling one ebook, but were never able to duplicate that incredible success for ourselves.  And for those facing the credit crunch right now….wouldn’t it be nice to make enough extra cash that any vagaries in our economy didn’t matter so much?

We – and many of our clients – regularly make smallish and regular amounts of money from esoteric niche sites, but even when we explored apparently really hot niches, like guinea pig whispering, or brown recluse spiders, or restaurant business plans, or Bed In A Bag sets, the millions still eluded us.

Looking back, that was mainly because of three things:

WHY DO SOME FOLKS NOT MAKE A GREAT LIVING ONLINE?

1. Not enough attention to detail – we just were not setting up the backend systems needed to automate sales

2. No viral growth element to our business – and no idea how to make it so

3. We DID split test some elements (one headline against another for instance) but we had no idea how to expand on that till we had the ultimate super-model performing sales webpages.

But now we do….we have the skills and we have the tools. And we want to share them ALL with you.

We have the skills to help real world business harness the power of internet marketing, and we have the skills to help people with just one ebook on a specialist subject wring the most money out of that product, while building up a virally charged email list of people who will want the next product being prepared (notice I didn’t say created, because we know where you can get quality products to adapt and make your very own).

As I say, we really want you to be able to help you make money online too.

Our Internet Marketing Home Study System is a great video based 12-step tuition for those just getting started online but to reflect it’s value, we have been charging £1497 for it – and it’s still worth many times that. Check out this recent testimonial from an 18 year old…

“Hi Nichola, Thank you once again for your giving me the internet home study program for a free trial, when I met you at the Institute of Directors meeting where you were doing your speech. I have been through the program once now and would like to give you some testimonials as to the quality of the program. I would have been lost without it! Many thanks, Mark Williams (the young lad with his mum)”

But we want to make it more affordable and available to more people.

GET YOUR HANDS ON THIS STUDY SYSTEM – FOR FREE!

So we are going to make it available – totally free of charge – to all Money Gym Silver members, for as long as they stay current members. This offer is available to fully paying Silver Members.

In fact, it’s better than that, because if you buy our ebook for just £25.00, you get the first month Silver Membership free – a saving of another £2.50.

(Well, every little helps!)

The reason I’m writing to YOU specifically is because I think you want:

1. To learn how to make money online from a passion, hobby or interest

2. To learn how to market your real world business online more effectively

3. To find out if all those stories you hear about making money online are true!

Credit Crunch Blues – How To Survive & Thrive

It’s a plain fact that not everybody suffers in a credit crunch or downturn, there is often more money to be made;  while others wail and gnash their teeth, some just take responsibility for their own success and get on with becoming rich.

Wealth Coach Nicola Cairncross releases The Money Gym Listmania guide to surviving & thriving in a Credit Crunch.  View your copy here >>>

If you want to find out more about how it came about, Wikipedia describes a credit crunch thus…..

“A credit crunch is a sudden reduction in the availability of loans (or “credit“) or a sudden increase in the cost of obtaining a loan from the banks. There are a number of reasons why banks may suddenly increase the costs of borrowing or make borrowing more difficult. This may be due to an anticipated decline in value of the collateral used by the banks when issuing loans, or even an increased perception of risk regarding the solvency of other banks within the banking system. It may be due to a change in monetary conditions (for example, where the central bank suddenly and unexpectedly raises interest rates or reserve requirements) or even may be due to the central government imposing direct credit controls or instructing the banks not to engage in further lending activity…..”  READ MORE HERE >>>
