Monday again…. A new week awaits

I started out by having a sick kid…. Love to be a parent, but I did manage to read a bit in a book, recommended by Mike Filsaime in his 7 figure code.. It is called: Good To Great. If you haven’t read it, you absolutely should!

I also managed to participate in John Thornhill masterclass, week 4. All about getting your blog to look nice… but mine already does right?

I did some work on my Twitter account, and checked out some new product launches that is coming up… screening the potential.

I also have my mastergroup in about 10 min so, I’ll be brief

A couple of people have responded to my request for testimonials for my new product in exchange of a review copy…. But I could use some more… Interested? Mail: Review Copy To: marlene (AT) marlenekristensen.com

Ok, talk to you soon!

Oh, Friday, sweet Friday

I love this day, it is the time of the week where my family is together, eating dinner, talking, playing board games, watching a new movie or singing, dancing and telling stories… This is family day!

Besides being family day I also finished this week of by creating another video ( what was it about? – you ask… hmmm… I’ll reveal it… It is about writing good review posts…. There happy?), I was planning on doing two but an old friend of mine asked me out for lunch and I couldn’t resist…

In my mentoring group I promised to do 5 videos this week and I managed to do 9, so I granted the time of…. And that was just what I needed!

See, in Denmark (where I live) the snow has been coming down since before Christmas…. I am currently getting very tired of not being exposed to lots of sun light, and I constantly pray for spring to come…. This lunch was a real mood lift for me and I think I can manage a few weeks more of this snow now….

Anyway, taking time to pamper yourself, and care for your soul is crucial for your health!

So, that is basically it… well of cause my Twitter following is up by 10% for this week and my list keeps growing day by day!

Ok, have a nice weekend and I’ll see you on Monday!

I don’t know what to tell you….. I had a long day at school, learning about investment, marketing research and HRM…..

I came home and where utterly busted!

I sad in the bathtub, trying to get warm… We had more snow coming down today.

I picked up my two kids and played some games, watched a movie, had dinner and so on…

When I finally was ready for the net, I was wasted

One big surprise was locking into my Click bank account and noticed two more sales… That is always nice

I am also waiting for my commission check from my last product promotion… they are having some problems and have to write out checks by hand… That’s life on the top of the mountain. You still have problems when you “make it” they are just different kinds!

I’m very sorry, but I have to get some sleep now… this is the privileged you have when working for yourself online… you can take a day off

Talk to you soon!

Wow, half way through my 30 day diary…. time is just slipping away!

So, today I created two more videos for my product… two long videos… both around 30 min.

I also did some work on my CB Predator campaign… Created a PowerPoint show and uploaded to DocStoc. I made a video with Animoto and uploaded to several video channels with Tube Mogul… I think it turned out quite cool, you can see it here:

What else…. I did sleep alright, even though I have this fear of failure…. It pops up every now and again… wonder when it goes away and if it is going to be like this every time I do a new product?

Oh well, I’ll survive!

See you tomorrow!

Hi all it is Tuesday today

SO what did I do on a Tuesday?

Hmmm, let’s see….

I created 6 videos out of 16 for my new product…. not bad eh?

No, I’m not revealing anything yet

But, if you want to be on the early bird list for when this product launches…. I recommend that you sign up to my newsletter!

Something else happenend to me today….

I felt this weird feeling in my stomach… I think it was the feeling of fear… yes, I am a littel worried about this product launch, for many reasons…

What if no one buys?

What if no one will promote it?

What if everybody buys and think it is CRAP?

Uhhhh, what to do?

Well, I told myself that it is normal to have these thoughts and that probably anybody who ever did a launch went through the same thing!

I also said to myself, that no matter what I could not stop now, I was to far ahead in the process… I said a lot of things to myself actually!

Finally, I began to work on a video and completely forgot my fear, for a while…. Ok, trick is to just keep working!

So I did That is it!

See you tomorrow!

It’s Monday, and a new week is waiting to be explored

I hope you like Mondays like I do, it’s like springtime, full of hope and promise, but also secrets and uncertainty…. Are you up for this weeks adventure?

So, back to me and what I did today… am I being a little self centered here?
Oh well, as long as you learn something right?

Today I read my finished Ebook again and corrected some errors and rephrased some poor sentences…

I join in on our weekly mastermind group and had a lot of fun listening and sharing with the others…

I put out an email to my list, asking them if they would be interested in exchanging a testimonial for a review copy of my product…. 3 people have answered yes so far.

My ezine article for my review site was approved, and my site is climbing the search engine rankings.

Then I went and visited my mother, had a very nice dinner and watch old funny movies for hours…. I just love to take time of like that!

Oh, and my graphics are all done for my product, only need to create the videos now…. and start to work on the sales page

Well, all for now….. see you tomorrow!

Marlene

Hi everybody… its Friday!

I’ll only post a quick one to day, I am letting myself go a little early

So, what did I do?

Well I started using the Alexa rank boost surfer program I mentioned in the last post.

I ordered graphics for my new product…. YES MY OWN PRODUCT!
Still cant believe it myself…. remember I told you that Dave Nicholson is going to promote it… Well now John Thornhill is too…. WOW!

Ok, what else.. mails, Twitter …hmmm…

Oh yeah, I wrote two article and posted one on my new review site www.cb-predator-review.com and submitted the other one to 3 article directories.. Ezine, ArticleDashBoard and GoArticles….

And bookmarked as well!

So, that’s it… See you maybe Sunday or Monday.

Talk soon!

Wow I did it… I finished my very first E-book!

It is just such an amazing feeling!

The book ended up containing 4 moduels and will have 15 videos…. Haven’t done the videos yet, but I will

Now I just have to come up with the perfect name…. I dont really like the one I already have… It needs more Wow effect!

After that comes graphics… about $67-$275. Then the sales page, download page, squeeze page, JV pages and so on. I need to create an account at click bank and reqruite JV partners…. oh and get some testimonials… Want to review my product in exchange for a testiomonial? Just put a comment on the blog and I’ll put you on my list

I have a lot of work to do and now I’m even considering doing another product (maybe even two) as an upsell….

I just cant wait to see my product up on click bank

What else have I been doing… Oh, getting Twitter followers, reading mails and working on improving my new review site…

By the way, I found this cool way of getting a top Alexa ranking (Alexa ranking is a way to see how much traffic your site gets and thereby determine how popular it is). I know Alexa rankings are inacurate, it only counts a visitor if he/she has the Alexa ranking toolbar installed…

Get it here: http://www.alexa.com/toolbar

But what you can do, is install an Alexa widget on your blog or webpage and install the toolbar on your computer and set your start page to be your webpage. Then your visits counts as well!

Get widget here: http://www.alexa.com/siteowners/widgets

Another great way is to use an Alexa surfing service…  What it does it, you earn credits for surfing other members pages (you can do this in the back ground – no clicking involved) What is cool about this is… All members i required to have the Alexa toolbar installed, that means your traffic gets registered every time!

Ok, that was it for today… I’ll talk to you tomorrow!

Ok, I had to put the last two days in this combined post. The reason is, that me and my husband live at separate locations (only 5 min apart)… Now that’s a whole story in itself, but i works for us

The thing is our kids live with each of us on separate days, and yesterday they where at his place. Now, my husband had to go to work very early and I had offered to drive him and then take the kids to kinder garden. That is why I had to stay at his place in order to get him to work early today.

When we spend time together we just lose track of time and that happend to us yesterday, so I kind of forgot to post, I know I’m sorry, but I’ll make it up to you today

Ok, so what have I been doing for the past two days?

Well, I have been working my but of writing my new product and planning the launch and sales process. The product is in 4 modules and has a whole lot of video. I have now completed the first 3 text modules and hope to complete the E-book tomorrow. Then it is time to create the videos, I have planned 15 already.

I have also been studying sales copy tactics when I needed a break from my project and I just found this amazing e-book from Simon Hodgkinson. The e-book is called extreme influence and is all about how to create a killer hypnotic converting sales page. He talks about font, graphics and even cool NLP techniques!

If you are in to that kind of thing go take a look right here: Extreme Influence - and yes this is an affiliate link, hope you don’t mind

Another thing I have been doing is working at my sales process for the product… Well, I actually got all  up and ended up with a product+2 upsells+downsells system.

If you dont know what up- and downsell is, I’ll briefly go in to that here:

The basic way it works is…. You have a product that sells for, let’s say $27, if people buy they get redirected to another page trying to sell them a related or extended product, for let’s say $67. If they pass on that, they get hit with another page trying to sell the same product with less bonus or the video is taken out or something else, but this time for a lower cost, let’s say $37. This can go on forever, but that wont be a good strategy

For this method to work, the whole proces must be logical. I mean the upsells should complement the main product and the downsells should not just be a discount, but the same offer with less material in it.

Hope that makes sense

As you can see, I have had 2 busy days and it is almost 11pm here in Denmark, so I am of to bed…

Talk to you soon!

Hi all

It is day 8 in this diary, and it is Monday! – Like I said before, I like beginnings

To day I was taking things slow…. I just spend the weekend on my (5 yo) sons birthday, needed to spend time meditating and running. I also ate to much in the weekend so I had a day on vegetable soup

Ok, what did I do then?

I posted to my new review blog on CB Predator, and social bookmarked it.

I spent time on the second lesson from John Thornhills Master class, all about setting up a blog… I know most of this, but did learn a trick or two.

I bought access to the digital version of the 7 figure code from Mike Filsaime last Friday, and I spent a lot of time watching the seminar – good stuff!

I also spent time on Twitter and posting the link to a Giveaway event going on the next days: http://lady-angel.com/7/go/39

So I was productive but the overall picture of this day was… spending time on getting into shape and get my focus back.

I recomend you do this every now and again, it really helps you be more productive later on. It also helps you do the right things!

Ok, that is all for now…

Just one last thing to do today: We start our private master class gathered together form fellow students of Chris Freville… I really recommend you get into these kinds of community, inner circles. It will speed up your learning curve and your earning capacity!
