HI there,

Some of you may remember that a few posts ago I made the point that to increase my chances of success with internet marketing I was to stop buying products and stop buying domain names. Well today I did both things even though I know I should not have done. My defense - it was a really good deal on a product and the domain name will be perfect for a new product I am thinking about.

The product I bought, or rather signed up for free was one by Russell, the guy behind Micro-Continuity - he is currently offering a limited number of free DVDs of more than five hours of his workshops including a complete overview of the MC system. I have gone onto the squeeze page about six times, and was initially just put off because even though the shipping and handling (international) was $19.95 that can be a lot once it converts into NZ dollars. However for some reason the nifty little NZ dollar has been making some great gains against the USD, and it was hubby's pay do so I thought "why not?"

After the signup, which was relatively pain free, I was taken to a page where I could download four audio files plus some templates and some info on the MC workshops. I have only managed to get through one of the audio files today - more than an hour's worth and I have written pages of notes - I have to say even though I can never remember this guy's surname (I know it starts with "B") he is one of the most interesting and informative people I have ever heard. - I have got my monies worth from one audio file and there are another three to go!

In a coffee moment I was thinking about my breathing - you see after I had my heart attack late last year one of the specialists I saw told me I wasn't breathing properly - and I always thought that it wasn't possible to get that wrong. Anyway I was thinking about that, and then my thoughts wandered to a book that I want to write on how to lose weight through breathing properly and things like that (yes it can be done, I am living proof) and before I had finished my cuppa I was on GoDaddy.com and am now the proud owner of the domain name "BreatheinHealth.com" - now all I have to do is write the product, do a website, get some promotional material sorted, and so on... why do I do this to myself :)

I am really looking forward to getting some comments on my little competition posted a couple of days ago - I have posted the information below again - tell your friends and let's see what we can come up with.

Have a successful day
Lisa :)

I am going to start up a little contest - you tell me what is the most effective subject line that you can think of that would make you open up your email almost without fail. You can be as creative as you like but you are not to use things like "You have won money" "You have payment" and things like that because those subject lines are banned by free traffic sites anyway. Maybe you have already been using free traffic sites and have found one or more headline works better than others. If so share it in the comments section below. I will run this for a week, until Sunday 23rd August and the prize will be a weeks coaching from my Real Work Real Money site or a free large advert to your site hosted on this blog and my website for a whole month. Tweet your friends and let them know about this too and let's see if we can get the creative juices flowing.
