Nikki’s Search For Freedom: Creating an Internet Marketing Business

Hey everyone,

As it says in the title, I’m looking for a graphic designer to create a couple of images / logos for me. Most of you that know of me will know that I am the self-proclaimed Purple Minxy Witch, and so I’d like to have a couple of images / logos that I can use that reflect that so that I can use them on my sites, my books, and any other promotional material that I may fancy.

As an example of the sort of image / logo that I’m after, I found this:

It’s a question I probably should ask in many different areas of my life.

However, in this instance, I want to talk about communication, and specifically that of the emailing-your-list variety.

If you have a list, how often do you email them? Is it just me that gets fed up with emails every day from the same people trying to sell things to me? Even if, in some cases, it’s a freebie that they’re offering - is it *really* relevant to me and my life? Or am I just being sent things as an attempt at building the list, or adswapping, or selling me some sort of affiliate product?

Wow. Today has been a steep learning curve for me, but hey, I got
there in the end! Admittedly I did have to shout for help, but then
that’s one of the benefits of building good relationships with experts
- it means I can go picking their brains!

So, what have I been doing? I’ve been preparing the launch of my book Social Networking Sites Explained.

I’ve fought with Aweber and Filezilla, and managed to get there in the end (Aweber was doing strange things with formatting, and Filezilla refused to connect to the server).

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Lair of Temptation.

Are you sitting comfortably?  You might want to go and get a cup of tea & settle down to read this.

I’d like to do a quick shout out first to all the people on Alex Jeffreys MWA 2.0 course (and of course my friends from the MWA 1.0 course).  I’d also like to say hello and welcome to those that are on the Internet Selling For Newbies course with Omar Martin and Mike Filsaime.

Hey all,

This is going to shut down very soon, and it comes with my highest recommmendation.

Alex Jeffreys is just releasing new spots for his now-notorious Marketing With Alex Coaching Course. It’s literally happening RIGHT now!  You need to hustle to even watch the video here … http://tinyurl.com/NikkiRecommendsNN

Spots for this kind of killer release go fast. And when you see the goodies he’s giving away - which are just nuts - you’ll understand why this is so urgent.

Go here now and try to grab your spot: http://tinyurl.com/NikkiRecommendsNN

Please hurry.  If what Alex offers is what you need, get involved.

Pheww….

I’m back in the UK, sitting on my sofa with a cup of tea & some toast with peanut butter (yes, I know, I’m so English!).

I slept for about 18 hours straight when I got back home, but then I was up for about 34 hours prior to that - so I guess it figures really. It’s strange, I woke up in Las Vegas but went to sleep back in the UK. It’s amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it really.

Some of you may have noticed that my home page has updated, as has the sidebar of this blog. This is because I have big news!

Drum roll please, carnivals, street fairs, fanfares & fireworks…

I will shortly be releasing the following book:

When it goes live you will be able to download it from here, so please check back soon.

Hey everyone,

So, what do you think? The Lair of Temptation has received a bit of a makeover. Oh, ok, it’s been completely stripped bare & rebuilt - but as most of that is behind the scenes, it isn’t obvious to the viewer.

This now means it is LOADS more functional than my old theme, so I can get it to do exactly as I want. An ongoing theme in my life!

However…(and yes, this happens in real life too), there is a rebellion going on, and I need to find the ringleader of this rebellion and torture them (or deny them their torture; whatever will cause the most pain).

I have been guilty of procrastination since the New Year.  Yes, I work full time, and therefore don’t necessarily have as much time as others to dedicate to this at present.  But is that really true?  Or am I just a poor judge of efficient time management?

Gary’s 20 traits of Winners vs Losers post highlighted that to me – go and have a look and rate yourself honestly against the 20 points there.  It might just give you the wake up call you need.

…are we human, or are we dancer?

If you had seen me out on Saturday night I daresay you wouldn’t have thought I was either a human or a dancer if you went by some of the moves I was pulling – still, I had fun and that’s what’s important!  Going on the bumper cars at 3am after the club was also entertaining…the things I find myself doing!

Anyway, before I get caught up in my usual ramblings, please allow me to take this opportunity to wish you all a (belated) very Merry Christmas, and a prosperous and successful New Year.
