As you may have noticed it’s been a few days since my last blog update!
I’ll hopefully get the manuscript back from Alex (libel lawyer) at the end of this week. I’ll then be able to read through it.
Last week I did Glenn Armstrong’s course in Milton Keynes. Needless to say it was good. I met Stephanie Hale (who did the course as well), who’s a nice lady. I also did the course to create a 12 month plan – which is good.
Ever since I got into property investment 4 years ago, I’ve wanted to find a recursive strategy of making a passive income, which suits me. I spent the first 1.5 years viewing a load of properties, trying to find a strategy that I liked – during which time I bought 2 flats.
Then Glenn came to my aid. After doing his courses in 2012 he asked me “Why are you trying to do property when you don’t enjoy it?” It’s true, I like property as a way of making passive income but I don’t enjoy viewing properties, dealing with tenants or maintenance issues!
By that point, I had already started to learn internet marketing, before writing my book.
The other reason why I’ve taken a break from blogging/emailing my list every day is because I’m not increasing my list. I was just emailing the same people, asking them to pre-order my book. Consequently the number of daily book orders I was receiving ground to a halt last week.
I still got some internet marketing learning to do on how to build a list. I am looking a lead-generating system and also at what Andrew Reynolds does.
However my primary focus at the mo is on getting enough pre-orders to publish my book.
I feel in an odd situation at the mo because, until I get the manuscript back from Alex, I’m not certain how much his bill is going to be. Also I won’t know for sure how much the printing cost for the pre-ordered books will be until the final draft is done.
Currently I have 374 pre-orders and estimate that I going to need at least 500 to cover all of the costs. You can pre-order Stairs For Breakfast at http://stairsforbreakfast.com/buy-now
People are telling me that I’m going to become well known. I would like to make a difference in the world.
