Fat Loss...The Book, is No Go!

An Unexpected Stop Sign!

Looks like some link somewhere did not work properly when I sent out my book for people to buy last week.
Checking it out now...
Have a friend who is going to help me to-day, so we should find the weak spot and fix it.

Interesting though, I found a couple of Typos that escaped the 27 edits and spell checks before I launched the book last week, so probably, the delay has benefits.

Also, an expert on reports v/s books, suggested I split my book into 4 reports of around 25-30 pages each & sell them for $7 each.
I have done so and am ordering 4 new professionally done covers this week for the reports. Covers normally cost between $37 & $67USD, but on the Fiverr site, everything costs $5.00, so I got my last cover there and was very happy with the job (gig) they call it!

So, this week my aim is to get my original book listed on Amazon to sell in it's original form & I will concentrate on getting the 4 reports up & selling over next 2 weeks.

Have to go visit my sis-in-law for a few days, she's had an operation and is gradually getting better, so I'll be away almost all week.

I've been learning how to set up a membership site for
over a year now and it looks like I've found a sweet spot/niche at last.
Mentioned it to one lady yesterday that the site would be ready on 12th Oct & she is joining plus she has some friends who will join too!
So,before I start, I have an affiliate or JV partner who will earn 50% of the Membership monthly fee, every month the Member stays in!

It's to be called "Beginners Internet Marketing School"... a 3-5 year course, like Uni, where they'll learn what I have, but faster, as I'll know how to speed up the slow bits for them. Just getting the site built now.

It's 40 hrs full time each week...geared for absolute real beginners.
People with a bit of experience, will scoot through the lessons each week in under 10 hours, as they have already learned a lot of core basics and only need a path and goal to follow.

It's a well known fact that it takes about 5,000 hours to learn a brand new skill to the level required to replace an average wage...then another 5,000 or so hrs to ramp your skills up to a 6 or 7 figure income.
This stage is when you get paid speaking engagements,  do highly priced consulting and others want to join with you to help sell your stuff.
It just goes crazy with the leverage in that second 5,000 hours!

Can you now see how a million dollar day can easily come about?
500 sales of a $2,000 product!

A guy who started at around the same time as me, had his million dollar day last month.
He lives in USA and has a coach and plenty of mentors, had the cash to buy all the tools to get things done faster and better, had the cash to hire technicians etc when he struck glitches, had the support of his film star wife and has no kids etc. The perfect scenario!
He just treated himself to a Porsche or some sort of car like that!
I'm not complaining just stating the fact about using someone else's trodden pathway thru' this jungle!

I'm coming up to 3,500 hours, so I know within the next 6 months or so, I will be earning a good income, which will replace the pension and when it begins to come in, it comes very quickly.
Most research I've done on ambitious people like me, I found that it took about 6 months or so from their first dollars income to reaching over $100 to $1,000 a day!
So, while I'm disappointed my book had some launch day glitches, I'm really glad in a way, as the couple of typos would be out there forever to haunt me! :-)
Plus, it's heaps easier to sell a $7 Report than a $27 book...you get more people on your list that way too!

A blessing in disguise!
Yeayyyy, way to go yet, but it's all happening.
Well, that's it for this week.
Kindest,
Poppie
