Did You Know… that even the most basic Silver Membership of the Money Gym comes with prized membership of our online MG Google Group?

This week’s ezine tells the story of a correspondence shared there between Janet and Bianca, about manifesting co-incidentally, but they could have been talking about anything.

This week’s topics range from advice from landlords, telephone answering, activists in retirement, poor customer service, karaoke, reduced price Arsenal tickets, a five-minute management course, Twitter, debt, property investment opportunities from only £5k, buildings, recession bags, websites, BlogTalkRadio, men who like pink, computer viruses and proofreading.

Phew! Yes, this can sometimes be overwhelming until you learn to scan/delete, scan/delete, scan/delete and also to know that the Google Group itself is keyword searchable so you never have to save messages, you can simple go to the group’s website and search on any topic you like which is what MG Coach Marion did when Bianca posted about Janet’s May contribution on gratitude and manifesting; Marion then kindly reproduced it for us all so we didn’t have to search.   So this means you don’t have to save emails which you think might be useful at a later date, you can always find them pretty easily again or someone may helpfully do that for you.

Why do we think this group is important?   Because it allows us to create an invaluable community of people treading the same path to greater wealth and financial freedom.   We share a common purpose and many common interests, and all advice is all given generously and with humour.   You can give. You can take. You can ask. You can share.

This week a returning client commented as follows:

“I’ve been absent from the money gym for almost a year for various
reasons (amongst which I’m ashamed to admit is apathy)  but having
just read today’s posts on gratitude and manifesting I could kick
myself.  All I needed was just this one shot of your optimism and
enthusiasm to re-ignite my spark.

Whilst I have been busy working towards goals I set last year I
realise I have missed the buzz from a group of like-minded people.
Unfortunately, things like manifesting had long ago dropped from my
mind.  It’s so easy to forget all these sort of things and just get
bogged down with day to day work.

So a big THANKS for setting me back on track  (that’s the gratitude
bit) and now I’m off to think about what I need to manifest in my life
right now!”

And did you know, more importantly, that you can Join Silver here for as little as £4.97?

This Weeks Good News From Judith

This week I slowed down and stopped chasing international tax exiles and busy multi-tasking property entrepreneurs, trying to badger them into finding 30 minutes in which their diary might coincide with Nicola’s and mine so we could interview them.

Do you remember that advert for Cadbury’s Caramel, where a seductive bunny tried to persuade some other (fast) animal to slow down?   Well this week I surrendered to that same caramel seduction and stopped chasing.   Go with the flow, I reminded myself.   So I just sat back and allowed some good ideas to sally forth, about which more later.

I spent all of Tuesday on logistics.   Cor Blimey, team!   Remind me next time before I do this exactly what’s involved in running a Big Gig.   The venue, the AV tech, the laptops, the presenters, the timetables, the presentations, the film cameraman, the photographer, the speakers and their entourages, their lunch requirements, making sure they have their presentations on memory sticks with back up, the volunteer team, the stationery shopping list of sticky labels and pens, the systems for registration and the dispensing of badges and goody bags and how to process 200 people in 30 minutes.

The prizes, the prizes, the prizes – that’s my favourite bit.   The abundance of the speakers and their donations, all so we can raise £4,500 for The Big Issue.   Wow, is all I can say.   In my current totalling of their combined values, I am up to well over £42,500.   And with only 200 delegates, the chances of bagging a big one are excellent, especially if you are visualising it coming your way and the speaker of your choice shaking your hand/kissing you and congratulating you on your big win.

I persuaded Nicola and Steve to let me give away 90 days free in the Silver membership of the Money Gym to anyone who had already booked a ticket and then persuaded a friend to come too.   That’s 90 days each by the way!

You should have seen me and Steve trying to understand the process for THAT one!   At the time of writing, there’s still time for you to cash in on that promo.

Then Marion and I walked through the event, decided what we wanted each volunteer to do on the day, decided who was going to take money for books on sale, who was going to be the Speaker Fairies, and who in charge of logging who won what so I could follow through and make sure each speaker delivered.   Marion and Steve are in charge on the day because I shall be on the stage for a change.   Fabulous to have such support from folks as passionate as I am about this project and all the good we can do with it.   Good for the delegates, good for The Big Issue, good for us.

At the time of writing I am still trying to work out how to use viral marketing to sell the remainder of the tickets – if you can Twitter it, or blog it, or somehow pass the message along, do please do that.   If someone mentions your name on their booking form, 90 Silver days will be winging themselves in your direction too.

The Big Issue have us appearing in their magazine dated 16th March, apparently most copies are sold on Mondays and Tuesdays – they have been so helpful it’s not true – and on Tuesday a small select bunch of us are going to scope out what they do at closer quarters at their Real Lives Real Achievements evening at the Proud Gallery in Camden.

I’ve written up most of my 37 reasons to attend and circulated them to our list:

Wriggling the Knobs (8 inspirational reasons)
10 Year’s Holidays for The Price of One (7 financial reasons)
Is that YOUR Raffle Ticket in my Champagne Bucket (5 incentive reasons)
A Hungry Mosquito in a Nudist Camp (10 opportunity reasons)
Stop the Rot, Get a SIPP (three educational reasons)

Total so far 33 reasons, just four more to go early next week.   I shall make it my business to be The Killer Reasons!

It’s been another fabulous week.   I am learning so much about how to put on a big event, marketing, planning, delivery.   Ironic that the last ten years, when I was b****ing about getting out the day job, I was an FD for an events company.   Perhaps that explains my love of the live event, I’m so looking forward to the day.   I’ve even collected The Big Cheque from the bank, now all that remains is to fill it in.   How many more tickets will I sell, how much money will I be able to write in there?

Thank you to everyone who has helped and supported and volunteered so far, especially the enormously patient Mr Steve Watson who himself has made a donation of his time worth £1200 for the prize fund.

And finally, I am cooking up something extra special for those new Silver Members which I may be able to roll out to all Silver members and perhaps even to create something ongoing for them.   Silver membership is all about self-study.   Its uber affordable access to all or most of what the Money Gym offers, without the 1-2-1 coaching.   So I am thinking of setting up a little pilot scheme to get the new ones through their first 90 days so that they derive maximum value from it and will want to continue their relationship with us.   I can’t think about this much before the 21st, but I will announce it before 1st April – another exciting creative project coming your way.   Left alone to study, how many are successful?   In all my years with the Money Gym, I can think of only one shining example.

It’s all go.   This is my last Good News piece for the ezine before the Property Extravaganza.

Have I done enough to get you there?

37 Reasons | The Good News About Property – Part #3

Day Three in my series about my favourite 37 Reasons why you might come to our Money Gym Property Extravaganza in London on 21st March in aid of the Big Issue. The Incentives. The Bribes. And what whoppers they are!

http://www.themoneygym.com/events/property

In no particular order of importance – you must rate that for yourself:

1. Prizes totalling £42,500 and rising – from a holiday in one of the overseas investment properties, to portfolio places worth £10,000, to mentoring, books, Wembley tickets, coaching sessions, Belgian chocolates, audio CDs, days out, lunches, Money Gym memberships and products, a blog makeover or creation session worth £1200 – the abundance just keeps on rolling.  And because the number of raffle tickets is only one per delegate, the chances of you winning a big prize are 1 in 200. I hope you are visualising the one you want? Can you feel it?

2. Discounts – at least two of the speakers have created special discounted versions of their products and services specially for attendees, available uniquely on the day.

3. Free Money Gym Silver memberships for 90 days – a special promotion we have just launched. If you have booked your ticket and can persuade someone else to come too – via Twitter, your blog, word of mouth or email invitation and they quote your name in their booking, both of you qualify for free Silver membership of the Money Gym for 90 days.

4. Goody bags containing millions of pounds, credit cards, coins, magic pencils and that all important raffle ticket (see 1).

5. A free personalised follow-up phone consultation with me for all delegates. This is to help you to evaluate the investment opportunities we shall showcase that day, or provide you with the support you need to put either your first step on the property ladder or the next step.

Can you be bribed? Yes, me too! If the price is right…

I hope it’s YOUR number I pull from the champagne bucket.

PS I’m contemplating setting up a special accountability group for all those new SilverMembers we shall create that day… watch this space.

Money Gym Webinar – Silver/Gold Clients

Join the Money Gym Silver & Gold Level clients as they reflect on their wealth creation journey this month!

Money Gym Silver – How To Make Irresistible?

Okay, so I’m starting to think about the re-launch of The Money Gym Club – Silver Membership.

I’ve got a 7-8 week time frame and some great ideas about how to add massive value and make it irresistible – which it patently isn’t yet. We currently bundle Silver Membership on the ebook sale, and about 90% of people stay past the first month and most of those stay on past months one and two – so it’s good, but not irresistible.

Bit of background….Due to massive issues with the techie bits of the site, our first launch in May 2007 rather ran out of steam in the effort to get it all working right. I won’t go into it but there were SO MANY fundamentals that were not in place, despite early promises, that we rather lost momentum and enthusiasm for it, in the monster effort to get it just doing what it was supposed to.

We have ironed out issue after issue and now it’s all working, and is an awesome content management system, we are now looking at how to make it better. Steve has already made it much more intuitive to navigate and we have some more plans to make it better.

1. Creating camtasia videos to show people all the great elements of the site (gotta great twist for this too – thanks to Frank Kern!)
2. Completely re-doing the Internet Marketing Home Study System to bring it bang up to date with Web 2.0 – and then to give it away with Silver Membership
3. Finding a way to breathe life into the Forums, which suffer from the popularity of our private Google Group
4. Revamping our “Let’s Talk Money” days to be more live wealth coaching orientated and including….say two ( ? ) of those days with Silver
5. Giving away entry to say……three of our popular “Money Gym Presents…..” experts days

I also want to integrate all the payments into our shopping cart so that we can re-launch our Affiliate Programme. Then folks can earn commission from the ebook, the ebook/paperback bundle, recurrring commissions from The Money Gym Club – Silver Membership and Money Gym Gold – all from one place!

This in turn should make us more attractive to affiliates and joint venture partners, and I’ve got some brilliant networking opportunities coming up, with the World Internet Summit UK (watch this space, lovely reader as I have a GREAT offer coming for you on that, so don’t book yet….), getting to know Tim Brocklehurst with his 1000 strong team of Viral Spirallers, and the Money Gym / Internet Marketing Cruise in January. With Paulie Sabol, Mike Filsaime, Jenny Armato, Joel Comm and all those peeps I haven’t even met yet….should be some joint venture possibilities there hopefully.

But still the search goes on to highlight our unique position in the Wealth Creation Education marketplace, and to make Silver Membership ABSOLUTELY IRRESTISTIBLE!!

Any ideas as to what you would like to see? Just hit the comments link at the bottom of this post – help me out and TELL ME what you want, what you really, really want!

Cheers, Nicola

High Herby Praise For Silver

Madeleine Giddens of MadAboutHerbs.co.uk and Money Gym Club Silver Member says:

I have been a Silver member of The Money Gym Club since it first started but only recently realised the amount of information accessible to me due to being overwhelmed by other marketing newsletters.

The Internet Home Study Program alone is worth the subscription fee; it covers all the basics of setting up a website and marketing it and thanks to the keyword research section I have finally sorted out all the keywords that have the most traffic so I can focus on these for articles, hubpages, google adwords etc and also identified the ones that have high traffic but low competition for advertisers so are ideal as part of my Google Adwords campaign.

There are many hours of (wealth creation) audio available which can be downloaded and listened to at leisure covering a wealth of topics.

The (private) google group is incredibly useful and full of very helpful and experienced people should you have any particular questions on any aspects of wealth creation.  I finalised my ebook title with the help of this group as have many others, ebook pricing advice has also been given.

It is inspiring to read of other people’s success and also to realise that we all struggle with similar issues and can help each other through them.  It is also another resource that can be searched at a later stage when you are ready for another lane of the wealth highway!

The Ezine is inspiring and also has useful articles which are bang up to date.  It also together with the blog will keep you up to date with the best of the other internet marketeers out there thus reducing the overwhelm factor.

It will take you a while to get through all the existing material available and more is added regularly giving you constant value for money.  I highly recommend you give it a try.
