An invitation to watch me twitter and rabbit

publication date: Apr 17, 2009

Hi,

Just got back from a week's holiday down in Rye on the South Coast.

The weather was great. Heloise, Zac and Belle enjoyed the bracing sea air. I even managed to grab some time to take photographs. Zac and I spent a morning down at Dungeness... probably the most stark and beautiful places in the UK... even with the nuclear reactor for a backdrop!

I did try and keep up with my emails, but I had to admit defeat... since my return a bloated inbox, the next WRMM issue (see PS below), new websites and preparing for 2 major speeches has kept me very busy!

It also doesn't help that I have the attention span of a gnat with ADHD!

I now find myself juggling so many different projects at once it's having a knock on effect with my other work and particularly my beloved eletter.

But I think I've come up with a solution that just might mean I can keep you fully updated not just weekly but daily... sometimes even hourly! 

You see, I have decided to sign up to Twitter.com.

Twitter-who?

Twitter is a 'micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length. Updates are displayed on the user's profile page and delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them.' (Thank you wikipedia!)

In plain English all this means I can post short messages with a single idea or recommendation or scam warning in real time.

Now as I am so busy I thought it might be a nice experiment for me to get as many people following my tweets as possible and then share on a daily basis things I come across in the biz opp world.

I haven't a clue if it will be of any interest, but at the very least it will be a great way of pinging out new ideas as I come across them.

So, go to http://twitter.com/nicklaight right now. Registration is free. It's pretty self-explanatory.

On the right hand side you also see the option of getting my tweets as an RSS feed. What this means is you can get them going directly onto your browser bar. Again, the instructions are all there.

And the great thing is it's short, unobtrusive and if I become a right twitter bore, you can simply ignore or even block me completely!

I haven't a clue what will happen. Maybe it will open up a whole new way of sharing things with you. Maybe it won't.

But you've got to try these things, haven't you?

So go now and click on the link http://twitter.com/nicklaight

Ok, so that's the twitter. What about the rabbit?

I wasn't going to make a big thing of it, but I have been asked to speak at the forthcoming Internet Millionaire's Bootcamp in London. Yes, I know it's a hypey title for a seminar, but it's actually a very well put together event with plenty of first class speakers.

The whole event is staged by Mark Anastasi, a thoroughly nice chap. He's brought together me and 17 other experts in various fields of online marketing and entrepreneurship.

My talk will be on the wonders of... email marketing. And as this is the first time I have done this outside of business-to-business conferences, this should be very exciting. I'm going to pack loads of practical strategies into my allotted hour.

The entire thing runs between 24th - 26th April in Central London and I'll be speaking at 10am on Friday 24th.

Full details are here

And yes you did read the price right. It's just £97 for 3 days. Of course, there will be some selling going on by the speakers. There's no other way you can keep the price that low. But like the big extravaganzas that Andrew Reynolds puts on every year, this will have plenty of inspiring stories and practical strategies.

And I for one will be packing every one of my 60 minutes with ideas you can use.

So take a look and maybe I'll see you on the 24th. I'll be hanging around afterwards for a while so few free to come and say hi.

Have a great (long) weekend... I will definitely be tweeting about one thing or another so make sure you go to http://twitter.com/nicklaight

Regards

Nick 

PS: Oh yes, WRMM issue.  The April edition should drop this weekend and it is another blueprintfest! Included this month are step-by-step plans for making a great second income from selling ex-catalogue stock, used cars... as well as becoming a Company Formation Agent and Clickbank publisher!
