Facebook Block Empower Network….
Aug 6th
It’s like a modern day David and Goliath!
If you’ve tried to look at or comment on Empower Network posts on Facebook this morning, you may have been surprised to find you can’t!
Why?
Because the Empower Network has grown so big so quickly that Facebook are running scared and have blocked the server and shut down the main group page!
Of course, there are ways around this and as always, it doesn’t take long to figure them out.
If you want to send people to your capture page from Facebook, simply create one on your own server and that will work fine!
I’m sure it won’t be long before Facebook realise that the Empower Network is out to help you change your life with it’s blog system and not to any devious ends and the ban will be lifted.
It’s not good business sense for Facebook – and Facebook is after all a business – and it’s not good sense for the people who are yet to be helped to change their lives and finally get the income they’ve always wanted by learning how to blog for money online.
Please share this post and help David beat Goliath! Let Facebook users decide if they want Empower Network for a better life and not have that life changing decision taken away from them!
Empower Network Review – 1 Month In
Aug 3rd
At the end of June, I decided to try something new. Something that I’d heard a lot of buzz about on the internet and something people I know seem to be making a lot of money from!
Now if you’re anything like me, you might be a bit “Oh yeah! the latest, greatest thing” and I would completely understand that. I’ve been working online for over two years now, and believe you me, I’ve seen a lot of those! I’ve listened to lots of self styled gurus, who really are no better off than you and I and have a lot less scruples!
So, I thought I’d give it a go, optimistically because it looked good – actually – it looked great! and, nobody was claiming to be a guru AND, it didn’t require me to pretend to be anything I’m not.
So, if you’d like to know how to blog for money online, then read on! This is a summary of my first months results with the Empower Network. If you’ve already heard about it and just want to know more or to get right in, click here for the fast track!
Here’s what I’ve found….
Doing a blog daily is challenging and fun!
I’ve found myself thinking a lot about what to write about, which in turn has made me be even more vigilant for the positive things in life. I refuse to write negative blogs, I do my best to remove negativity from my life so I’m certainly not going to blog about it! I haven’t missed a day yet and that’s given me a sense of satisfaction too. Bonus no 1!
The people in Empower Networkers are nice!
I do my best to surround myself, even in a virtual sense, by great people so that’s an unexpected bonus – it’s not that I didn’t expect them to be other than great, just that I hadn’t figured it in my reasons for joining Empower Network.
I like audio learning
I never expected that either! I know my best learning mode and it’s not auditory so I didn’t expect to enjoy the recommended daily audio sessions. I listen at times that would otherwise be unproductive and I’ve picked up some good tips and felt really motivated after listening to them too. Another bonus.
I’ve had loads of traffic!
Compared to my Self Help Bible blog, which I’ve put a lot of work into and have been using for over a year, I’ve had 73% more visits to this new Empower Network blog over the same period. Might be something to do with their Alexa ranking which is in the top 500 worldwide lol!
It’s been doubly effective in that I’ve seen a 71% increase in traffic month on month to my original blog and the second best source of referrals to my Self Help Bible blog has been my Empower Network daily blog!
Great results for a mere $25 investment I think you’d have to agree.
Less is sometimes more.
I’ve spent hundreds of hours working on the look of my other sites. Honestly, hundreds even if you think it doesn’t look like it!. I started from scratch on them and the fact that I don’t have to do that on my Empower Network blog has meant I have been able to use all my work time productively this month. That’s a massive bonus there and a big learn as clearly you don’t need bells and whistles, just a good system!
The Empower Network is believable.
I’ve tried lots of things in the two years or so I’ve been working online and only one or two have paid off. I really think that Empower Network may be the game changer. I know I’ll only get out what I put in so I need to keep up the blogging, but the support and training here are the best I’ve seen so far……….. and there’s air of BS either! Not a single hint of ‘fake it till you make it’. No’gurus’, no ‘wide boys’ which is a huge relief after some of the muppets I’ve met online!
All in all, I’m delighted with my first month 1 in Empower Network. I’ll post an update again next month and compare month on month results. And if you want to know how to blog for money online, it seems Empower Network may be the answer you’ve been looking for.
I hope you found my first Empower Network review helpful, please like, share, comment and tweet if you did and if you’re curious, just click on one of the images to find out more right now!
Lose Weight and Eat More Often!
Nov 3rd
Having recently discovered the joy of taking regular exercise and thinking about what I eat, I wanted to share a video with you.
I haven’t done any real exercise since I left school and although I understood the theory and the potential health benefits, I’ve always managed to find a good reason why I couldn’t find the time, energy, money or motivation to start let alone stick at anything.
About 2 months ago, I got a text inviting me to a week’s trial at Milton Keynes Fit Body Bootcamp, so I thought I’d add that to my list of ‘tried that but it didn’t work for me’. Except that, I decided to really do it rather than just try this time and see once and for all if I could actually ‘do’ exercise.
I like to think about things, a lot, and whilst I may be guilty of over analysing on occasion, sometimes it pays me back with a light bulb moment. You know, those thoughts that pop into your head and suddenly something deeply buried makes sense and associated things fall into place. Well, I had a few of those!
I realised I have never been thin and happy at the same time. I have been really thin, too thin actually, and I have been ecstatically happy, but not simultaneously. This led onto a realisation that somewhere deep in my unconscious I have cultivated a very powerful limiting belief that I cannot be thin and happy. Tosh! Once I’d admitted this to myself I was able to set about creating a more empowering belief to replace it with.
I won’t go into my journey here, because the point of this post is to share with you, just one of the really useful tools I’ve enjoyed at bootcamp. The most joyous discovery that you dont’ have to deprive yourself and eat nothing, or calorie count or do any of those weird fad diets to look good – believe me I’ve tried them all – Cabbage soup, Atkins, colour coded days, Mao clinic and too many to even remember – and this video explains why I can eat snacks and meals all day long and still burn fat!
Check out this video and if you like it, there’s lot’s more info on the web site Major-Fitness.co.uk including nutritional plans, exercise hints and lots, lots more.
Over to the inspirational Helen Colby who will explain much better than I could. I can tell you that it works though 
Blog On Kindle
Oct 20th
I just wanted to share a great post I’ve read this morning about how you can get your blog on Kindle.
It was shared on Facebook by my FB friend Lilach Bullock, who is always sharing great info on how to do Internet Marketing with integrity, and written by another lady called Sarah Arrow.
If you have a blog, particularly a niche blog which is not as saturated as wider niches such as Internet Marketing, then this might be a great way to get your content out to a bigger audience.
Here’s the link to the article on how to Blog on Kindle!
Happy blogging

How to Be Successful
Feb 12th
We posted a blog post here some weeks ago telling you why we felt the formula for success is Activity x Mindset + System and there is an article on Ezine which explains it in more detail.
We understand that you might not want to take our word for it, so how about Joseph McClendon III, one of Tony Robbins closest friends and peak performance coaches? As humans we’re programmed to trust people we know and figures of authority and they don’t come with much more authority than Joseph McClendon. So here is a great interview conducted by my friend and successful PR coach Maritza Duncan.
Enjoy!

Success = Activity (Mindset + System)
Jan 24th
Success is that elusive thing that we all search for, in one form or another, at some point in our lives. Early on, we might measure success in terms of being popular in the playground, or top of the class. Later, we might have a hobby or sport we want to excel at. We might think we are successful if we have an attractive partner or lots of friends, material possessions or money in the bank. We might measure our own success through the results of others, like our children for example, or people that we help, teach and interact with.
However we measure success, the point is that we do all measure it and we strive to be successful in at least one area of our lives. You could even argue the point that people who really mess up in some way are actually successful. If you consider success to be the achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted, as defined in some dictionaries and they set out to fail, then in doing so they are successful – almost like anti-success!
So how can you ensure success, or at least give yourself the very best chance? After much study and deliberation, I would like to offer you a three step formula for success, giving you the three key elements you need to create your own success.
Mindset
The first thing you need in order to be successful is the right mindset…

Outsourcing Pixelpipe Setup
Dec 13th
As discussed on the Six Figure Mentors coffee call this morning, a great way to save yourself some valuable time for a small outlay, is to have a Pixelpipe account set for you.
This gives you 100 accounts where you can submit all the articles, videos and slideshows you create to from one place. Great for getting your stuff out there and driving some free traffic to your sites.
We did it through Fiverr.com, which if you haven’t seen before, is a site where you can get just about anything done for $5. It is quite amazing what people will do for $5!
We used a company called SEO5rr, through Fiverr.comyou and they set up a Pixelpipe account for $40. It’s $20 to have the 100 accounts opened and a further $20 if you want to them to put profile info and a picture etc. Here’s a link to one of their ‘gigs’ if you want to have a look. They also offer backlinks and other SEO things so check them out.
Imagine how long it would take you to log into 100 sites, create an account, upload a photo, add a bio etc then confirm it through an email link… We thought it was a very good value for $40 and they were very quick and efficient.
