It doesn't happen often, but I feel proud and excited about this.

Wow! (I very rarely say Wow).

This really is exciting. (I hardly every get very excited about stuff.)

A little over a year ago I wrote a new program, How to Write Your Own Money-Making Websites. It was published by the folks at AWAI, who did a great job.

Naturally, I hoped I had written something that would help people make some extra money by writing a website on a topic that interested them.

That was the promise of the program.

Well, the thing about writing a program is that you rarely get a ton of feedback. Sure, you get a few emails. But I never expected to get to know so many people who purchased that program, or to see so many of the websites they created.

Things changed when we created a membership site for everyone who got the program, and then we started a series of webinars to help people get started and stay on track.

The outcome has been amazing.

Those of us with access to the membership site have been able to see hundreds of people working on their sites. It’s an amazing, diverse community, alive with questions, answers and encouragement.

And now we have created the first edition of a catalog, to highlight some of their work.

Take a look at the How to Write Your Own Money-Making Websites catalog here.

(Best viewed in full screen mode. You can download it as a PDF as well.)

I really am excited to see people creating so many great websites.

And although such feelings don’t come naturally to me, I feel proud to have been able to provide the spark and some of the knowledge to help so many people get started.

Feels good. ; )

Listen to the recording of my teleconference call on the difference between having a freelance JOB and a freelance BUSINESS.

These last few weeks I have been busy writing about and talking about my most recent program, Breakthrough Freelance Success.

This teleconference call is all about the difference between our default perception of what freelancers SHOULD do and what freelancers COULD do.

It’s a strange thing. That default perceptions leads many freelancers to enter into a life of near servitude – being grateful for every crumb of work a client might pass their way.

But to my mind, the worst thing about the traditional way of freelancing is that you earn money only when you are at your desk. If you take two weeks off, or are sick, the flow of income stops, immediately.

Essentially, most freelancers are piece workers. It’s like being paid for each pair of pants we sew, but in our case it’s for each project we write, design or code.

To put it another way, most freelancers have almost no control over their lives or their futures. They just keep hoping they can bring in enough work next month to pay the bills.

My program turns all that on its head.

It explores and explains, step by step, a whole different approach to freelancing. It is an approach which entails YOU being in the driver’s seat of your business. And it involves building a real business that pays you a lot more than you’ll make as a traditional freelancer.

You’ll find this explained in more detail by listening to this recording of a teleconference call I gave a few days ago.

BTW – If you do decide to purchase my Breakthrough Freelance Success program, try to get it before the end of this week, Friday March 19th. After that, the price goes up by $100.
