2008 Google Zeitgeist

Well the results are in….2008 Year-End Google Zeitgeist Global Results announced

Zeitgeist = “spirit of the times” often used about fashion for example where many independent designers settle on a similar theme for a season.

Google say: “As the year comes to a close, it’s time to look at the big events, memorable moments and emerging trends that captivated us in 2008. As it happens, studying the aggregation of the billions of search queries that people type into the Google search box gives us a glimpse into the zeitgeist — the spirit of the times. We’ve compiled some of the highlights from Google searches around the globe and hope you enjoy looking back as much as we do.”

The Google Zeitgeist pages are very useful when looking at niches for membership sites for example…

FlipVideo Now On Amazon UK

Great news!  The little FlipVideo Camera that I use all the time, to make videos as wide ranging as the Haunted Hazlewood Castle to the new Rent2Own Cottage and the Rent2Own 1 bedroom Flat, is now here in the UK via Amazon.

The FlipVideo Camera is the best thing for video blogging on the fly, as it’s idiot proof – well almost!  Here is a great shot of the inside of my handbag at Beach Dreams recently which resulted in the batteries running down very quickly and me nearly missing Nelson doing his “Dad Dancing” impression recently!

Money Gym Helps Alan Forrest Smith Raise $100,000 in 4 days!

** Find out now how to get involved in a very exciting event & get some great fr*ee gifts including some one-on-one mentoring time with Nicola **

Already the Money Gym posse are swinging into action!!  We are up to nearly $150 already – keep it coming guys!  If you missed the previous email….look lively now!

You know about the World Internet Summit and how much I rate it?

You know about Alan Forrest Smith and that I rate him as a speaker, copywriter and marketer?

You may not know that every time they do a World Internet Summit they do an online challenge and raise
as much money as possible, online, live, in the shortest possible time?

It’s to prove internet marketing works – and it does, every time.  As their list gets bigger, the amount raised gets bigger.

And when you add in all their friends and strategic partners…..cowabunga!

Well this year, it’s going to be very different!!  And EVEN MORE EXCITING!

Instead of picking one person out of the audience and making the money for them, this year they are giving it ALL away to one specific charity and it’s a great charity although I’m not allowed to tell you what it is yet…..

100% of the money raised will go to this charity – the WIS boys, Brett & Tom, have promised and I trust them to do that.

HOWEVER I can tell you that it’s a charity that affects us all and the future of this planet – more will be revealed live on Thursday.

Alan is co-ordinating this live on stage in Australia, on Thursday, and as you can imagine, it’s scary, and he’s looking for support from his mates.

On Thursday, at 4am in the morning our time, I’m going to be dialling in LIVE on behalf of the Money Gym and donating a sum of money, direct to Alan for this massive effort.  Unless I can puzzle out how to automate it *grin* I will be getting up, putting my lippie on and getting in front of my camcorder and skyping in.

My question to you is…….Will you help?

We have about 6,000-10,000 subscribers to our ezine and I’m hoping that at least 50% of you will donate AT LEAST £2 to the fundraising effort – via Paypal, to us so that we can give it to Alan live on Thursday.  We could raise £3000 to £5000 – that’s $6000 – $10,000 to help Alan in his goal of reaching $100,000 in just four days.

If only 20% of you – following the Pareto Principle – do something we could raise over £1000 or $2000 – and that would be very respectable!

And it would make us Brits look GREAT especially as I have inside info on how much some of those multi-millionaire Yanks have pledged so far!!

Our national pride is at stake here and you will be helping a great cause that affects us all.

(I would have just asked for £1 minimum but PayPal charge us for every transaction, so £2 will cover the PayPal charge and give at least £1 to Alan)

HOWEVER…………Alan is offering some great incentive special offers on the official page, for those who donate £25 or more, so if you do that via us, I will be passing on a list of people who donate £25 or more, to Alan, in order that you are still eligible to get his incentive offers.

**************************************

**  We faithfully promise, here at The Money Gym, to donate 100% of your donation, less the PayPal charges, plus our donation, to Alan’s efforts and to pass your name, email and donation amount onto him, if you donate £25 or more **

***************************************

All you have to do, to help me out, help Alan out and claim your fr*eebie gifts, is send your donation NOW to:

Send your donation to this paypal address – and mark it clearly “Alan / WIS Donation”  :
steve@themoneygym.com – remember make it at least £2 (but more if you can)

Then I will personally send you a link (which will be sent to the email address you use for your PayPal account) which will take you to a page where you can claim a very special set of fr*ee gifts – this could be a lot of work for me, but I don’t care! 

The more of you donating, the happier I will be even if I have to work all weekend!

Ok, so go do it now and make us proud !

Just send £2 – or whatever you are happy to give, to steve@themoneygym.com

And I will send you by return, as soon as possible, the link to where you can put your name and email in, to get updates on how it’s going, and get your fr*ee gifts!

Thanks!

Nicola
