You may have noticed the little box to the right that says ‘Free Life Tips’. It’s been sat there minding its own business for a few weeks now. Every now and then a curious soul will throw caution to the wind, live like there’s no tomorrow and click on it. It’s rash, it’s devil may care, it’s anarchic, but what do you care? There’s life to be lived.
Those that do click are no doubt amazed to be taken to a landing page with the chance to download a free book. This isn’t a free book if you buy something else first, you don’t have to hand over all your contact details (other than a working e-mail address for the link) and there’s no “let me take your credit card details just in case I need them at a later date” field.
It’s just complimentary, pro bono, gratis, yours for nothing, on the house, FREE!
In all the time that it has been lurking there over 40,000 different people have viewed this blog. Actually that may not be true, it could just be one person with 40,000 different computers I have no real way of knowing, but I guess that probably isn’t the case. About 800 people have even gone the whole hog and actually downloaded it.
Some have e-mailed me to say thanks, which is nice and always appreciated. If you’re one of those good people, I’d like to say thanks for saying thanks. If you haven’t, no problem at all, it isn’t required in the least and I still love ya!
The book contains some really juicy life coaching tools, free tools that is. The book took me 2 or 3 weeks to compile and 5 years to learn the material well enough to know what I was compiling and more importantly, why I was compiling it. I probably spent well in excess of $20,000 in training, books and audio programs prior to that so that I was able to do it with some degree of, dare I say it, expertise?
I originally said that I wouldn’t charge for this book, but now I’m going to. The reason being is that I’ve spent a lot of money in having it laid out professionally and so technically it’s not the same book. I’ve also added some more material and had it edited properly. Currently it looks like a word file that somebody has stuck a jpeg on and then saved as a PDF, which coincidentally, is exactly what it is. From next week it will look like a professionally produced eBook the kind of which you normally pay for, which coincidentally, is exactly what it will be.
Why am I banging on about this now you may be wondering? It’s for this reason and this reason only. I don’t want to just pull the free copy in case you have been loitering with intent to download and just not got round to it yet. If you are such a person now is your chance to get it for free, and you have about a week or so to do so.
On the other hand, you think $7.99 or whatever other random figure I decide on, is value for money (and it is) and you want to wait for the launch of the new shiny improved version with pictures and links that actually work, then God bless ya Guv’nor and all who sail in ya. Watch this space.
In lieu of a brand spanking new life changing post today, that will be here tomorrow or by Thursday at the latest, here’s a link to a random archive post about wasting time. So go on then, waste some time and read it.
Tim Brownson is a Certified Life Coach and has been unsticking people and helping them reach their true potential since 2005. If you would like to know how he can help you
I read your ebook and it’s great. You have a way of making things simple and easy to understand. I think you should charge 9.99. It’s totally worth it.
@ Vered – Thanks a lot, so do you want to send me cash or would you prefer to mail a check? ;-)
Hey, thanks for saying thanks to my thanks to you! :O) You are a hoot (southern for saying you’re funny Guv’nor!) :O)
It’s been brought to my attention that the 1Shopping Cart software defaults to needing a genuine zip code. I didn’t know that and if that is the case, I apologize.
If somebody really wants the book and doesn’t trust me to look after any personal information properly then e-mail me directly. I do though know that a number of people have given false addresses and names unless there are really people called 1111111, Bob Bob Bobbin and The Pope ordering my book and others that live on The Moon, Somewhere in the Universe and Up My Own Ass!
The offer ends tomorrow (Wednesday) people so get downloading if you want the free version.
The new professionally produced eBook does look amazing though and worth the small investment and waiting for ;-)
