Amazing Offers, Radiowaves & Outer Space

So who moved the Bank Holiday from the traditional last weekend in August to this weekend then?  First I knew about it was when GM.tv started wittering on about DIY for the Bank Holiday!

It’s been a weird week without the kids – this year I’m coping better because I’m getting out and about more – except NOT down the beach obviously!! I’m playing poker live around various venues in Sussex.  For £12 a night, you get two games and your dinner and last night at the Montague was a great night all round, with a fine home-cooked Shepherds Pie with peas (yum) or chicken korma with rice.  It was odd going back there as I spent a large part of my teenage life upstairs in The Montague, they used to run a fantastic soul night there, and co-incidentally, this week on Facebook, I was contacted by Steve MacMahon, an ex-Worthing boy, who is now a DJ in New York, whose very sister used to run that soul night!!

Lee the landlord of The Montague is incredibly entrepreneurial, and is running a great pub there, with “cocktails & karaoke”, comedy and cabaret nights in addition to the biggest Texas Hold’em game in the area, up to four tables now.  There’s two computers with fast internet connection, there are notices on the bar telling us who our barstaff are, and lockers to put your drink in if you need to go outside to smoke (not me!).  Join The Montague’s “University of Poker” (M.U.O.P) Facebook group here http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=23133628865

It’s the last day of the Grand Wealth Giveaway – Kathy very kindly extended the deadline by two days, so if you haven’t downloaded your free gifts – and there is some great property investing stuff in there, Kathy having made her money in real estate, go and get them now, as the offer is closing at midnight tonight.

As a list building exercise, participating in the Wealth Giveaway was a great event for the Money Gym adding over 300 new people to the Money Gym MVS system.  I’m hoping that many of those are internet marketers who will be interested in re-branding and giving away my free reports on their websites and blog.

I’ve had a frustrating week with technology, but we figured out why the admin area of the blog was running so slow – it was a rogue plugin.  After deactivating them all, then reactivating them one by one, it’s now running along nicely.  Having issues with my podcasts from Hipcast though, as soon as I post one, then go to change the catagory, the player disappears!  I’m going to dig out Mike Stewart’s tutorials on podcasting direct from the blog later today.

New at The Money Gym is a great special offer for just £4.97, where we are bundling a great load of stuff, some audio including the first three chapters of the Money Gym book, as read by the author, four reports, the UK’s first Wealth Conference audio and a 30 day trial of the Money Gym Club site…..and folks are signing up in droves!  You can get your bundle here http://www.themoneygym.com/offer/

As I say, I’ve been recording the Audio version of The Money Gym book – listen to Chapter 1 here at http://www.MoneyGymRadio.com .  I’m a reading kind of gal, but I know 30% of the population like to listen to stuff in the car or while exercising, so I’m working my way through the book, and the audio version will be available by next week as an option.

It’s made me realise that I need to rewrite it and update it – I’ve learned SO MUCH MORE since I wrote it.  I think I will lose the “Day by Day” format too, and make it flow more.  Must talk to Debs and Joe at Bookshaker about a relaunch…..”The Money Gym Revisited” here we come!

As part of the run up to the re-launch of the Money Gym Silver Club membership, I’ve been experimenting with some BlogTalkRadio shows.  I’m veering between a “Smashy & Nicey” kind of voice, through to a “late night talk show” voice and it’s a struggle to talk normally.  I’m having an issue with my headset making my voice very quiet too, but I’ll try holding the receiver today (for half an hour?) and see if that helps.  Not quite brave enough to open the lines to phone in’s yet, but there is a chat facility….committed to doing a show every day till the end of next week, then I’ll swap to weekly, probably on a Wednesday at 1pm.  Check it out at

The sewing hobby is going well too – I’ve made two linen shirts for me, a pair of gingham short shorts for Phoebe, and cut out two nighties ready to sew this weekend.  I’ve been listening to Frank Kern videos while I’m sewing so it’s not taking me totally away from the computer, but nearly!

I had lunch with Greg Ballard yesterday, and had a good old chinwag, catching up on all the news, and a look round their new offices, which used to be those of my accountant, Mark Nicholson from Spofforths.  It was great to hear that, in spite of the credit crunch, Passive are still picking up lots of great bargains for their clients.

Steve is working his way diligently through John Reese’s Traffic Secrets 2.0 which is excellent and very thorough.  He’s missing the kids but is also getting out and about more with his golf, having bought himself a driver and putter on eBay and a new pair of golf shoes, as the old ones were giving him terrible blisters!

And I’ve been enjoying wandering around the Scienceray blog – check out these AMAZING pics of outer space here http://www.scienceray.com/Astronomy/A-Handpicked-Collection-of-Ultimate-Space-Pictures-3.216589 and look out for the pictures of the planned “doughnut” space station to house the whole human race if we do end up totally destroying the planet, god forbid!

Now, don’t forget to book your tickets for the very exciting two-day “Money Gym Presents….Brett McFall” event on 20th and 21st September – just £25 and all of it (ex the VAT) is going to Great Ormond St Hospital.  It’s the must-attend event for aspiring internet entrepreneurs and We can only fit 300 of you in, and we have 80-odd on our VIP pre-register list, so if all those buy two tickets…..get yours here at http://www.themoneygym.com/brettmcfall

Have fun, we always are!

Wealth Coach Diaries – Nicola’s Week…

Nicola here….you might have noticed that Judith’s taken over the ezine this month!

She is feeling so passionate about her two pet projects at the moment, so we let her write her heart out this week and I hope she’s feeling much better now.

As Judith has waxed very lyrical, I’m going to keep it short and sweet, as I have a linen shirt to finish.

Just in, this week, the news that the Money Gym / Internet Marketer’s Cruise in the Caribbean in January is filling up fast now, as Mike Filsaime swings into his marketing, after giving all the groups leaders a chance to fill their cabin allocation first. I invited Paulie Sabol (one of Mike’s protégés) and Capt’n Lou, of Little Shop of Cruises, to join me on a webinar to explain why, if you love to learn, and have fun at the same time, and if you want to strike some powerful joint ventures, and make friends for life, you HAVE to come along…..only about 4-5 Money Gym cabins left now! http://www.MoneyGymRadio.com

O yes! The new sewing machine has been given it’s inaugural run on the dining room table which is looking like an East End Sweat Shop, and my much loved and carted round from house to house overlocker has come out of it’s retirement of about 15 years. Due to careful packing, it’s in mint condition and with a bit of a dustoff with a soft paintbrush, it’s ready to overlock and trim seams just like the good old days when I made overpriced waistcoats for Duffer of St George and helped make the suits for The Pasadenas for designer Derek Lilliard.

Not sure if I will need the new shirt yet, as my special outing is hanging in the balance as usual, due to volatility in atmospheric conditions, but there is a music festival on in Shoreham this weekend so it will get used, whatever. Enough fabric left over to make Phoebe a pair of short shorts too, so that’s cool.

This week was monthly stats week and they show improvement all round so THEORETICALLY we just need more warm traffic to make more sales and Steve’s going to be working on that this week as – great excitement in Money Gym Towers – John Reese’s Traffic Secrets 2 system has arrived and is sitting in pride of place on Steve’s desk ready to be worked through systematically over the next few weeks.

Google Website Optimiser is up and working, and our second headline we tested – a throw away one we wrote just to see – is converted to “click to buy” actions 100% better than the original which is a bit of a shock. The second one is less “millionaire” orientated and more “financial freedom” orientated so perhaps it suits a British audience better? We then realised that we needed to test the colours as we had changed it to red/blue rather than red/black, so we are testing the second headline against itself, in the two colourways now.

We are excited to be moving forward with a joint venture with Brett McFall, co-founder of one of my favourite internet events of the year, the World Internet Summit. Just testing interest and getting numbers for potential venues now so if you fancy joining us for two days for just £25, learning the very basics of how to create a successful online business from scratch, visit over here at http://www.themoneygym.com/brettmcfall to get on the priority invite list.

That’s it from me, have fun in the musical sun!

Rick Butts Lets Rip!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi,

I am Joe’s email list.

Joe calls me his list, his peeps, and sometimes just “the list.”

But, I am not a list, really, I am not a crowd, or an audience. I am not “everyone out there” as they teach new broadcasters to say.

I am me.

 

One single person with hopes, dreams, stresses and fears.

In many ways I am just like you – the way you describe yourself in your hungry years before you went to that life changing event, read the book, and started making money online.

I get email from you Joe.

I can’t remember for sure, but I think I “joined” one day when you offered a free report or video and I had to put my email address in – and confirm – in order to see it.

In my inbox, Joe, your email looks just like the personal emails I get from my daughter or son, and sometimes, sadly, from my ex.

Now that you’ve been sending me email – as well as some of your “good friends” – I have begun to be able to see in a glance that they are just offers, sometimes disguised as important messages, sometimes blatantly, not.

Whenever I see the word “this” in your subject lines, like – “this won’t last long” – or “have you seen this?” I know it’s an offer.

Since the Product Launch Formula I and especially II – I’m amazed at how many times per month I am literally inundated with emails from so many people all about the same exciting product.

They arrive over multiple days, culminating in a bonus orgy that is just overwhelming.

I read a clever post in a forum once, that “the bonuses are so comprehensive, it makes me wonder what is covered in the course, that is not already covered in the bonuses!”

That made me laugh.

I’m writing you today, to share something important about myself – and I hope you’ll take the time to consider my feelings, ok?

I have to get off of some of these lists.

The volume of email and the distraction of chasing the offers is just crippling my time, my focus, and my ability to get things done.

Note from Nicola:  Now you know I love internet marketing but I’m hearing the plea.  We bought Traffic Secrets because it looks great and it was marketed brilliantly.  But Rick Butts is right when he goes on to say, in this excellent article, try and buy these launches via an affiliate link of someone who delivers extra value and not just as bonuses, but consistently.  We bought ours via Stompernet’s link, who were offering an excellent 15 CD course “bonus” – just the one bonus thank the lord – and who had delivered some great content videos in the run up to their own launch recently.
