That was so hard!!!

I finally finished my lesson from…not last week but the week before! In actuality it did not take me that long…but I must admit it took many “takes” and “retakes” to get it right.

We completed video mania part 3…and I had to make a video of myself speaking about something. Sally left the door open…this something could have been as simple as reading a poem in front of the camera.

Admittedly this is the part of of the video modules that scared me the most. Heck…I love working in PowerPoint and Camtasia…capturing screen shots and making cool slides….no problem.

but me in the video…..??? Yikes…

Was there any way I could get around this?

Ok…it was time to face a fear…and a big one it was. Not sure why I had this fear…but every time I attempted to record myself I was unhappy with the results.

I am sure after a few have been done I’ll get used to seeing myself on screen and it won’t be so scary.

But Sally wanted this one simple, with the light on our faces…and I…

want to be authentic. I want total transparency with my readers so that they know my human side as well as my “Super Blogger” side ;) so…in front of the camera I went…lights and all!

So, this is me in the buff…haha…

I mean I have no props...nothing to hide behind…even the  room I was in didn’t give you much to look at except me! I was thinking that I needed a great background like Ian has on his videos (he is making an amazing assortment of videos on PLR)…there are other things to look at…kinda interesting I think ;)  But, I had no time to totally change things around so I stayed up in my loft where I normally work and took the video in my exact work spot…sitting at my desk that I use everyday.

Ok…so I did wear a little lip gloss…have you ever noticed how dry your mouth becomes when you are nervous? This lip gloss helped my lips to keep from getting stuck together…lol

This video is of course all about Sally Neill’s newest offering…I figured if I was going to get in front of the camera…it was going to be for something very, very special…

Although Sally is not going to open her live coaching till at least next year…she wanted her coaching material to be available to anyone wishing to supercharge their blogging now….

so…

Sally created  “The Replays” and the first 4 modules have now been bundled up into a package ready for purchase. There will be two more bundles coming as the webinars are finished.

Inside this incredible package you are going to receive:  

  • 4 complete replay webinars
  • 36 monkey see/monkey do videos (really, really easy to follow videos)
  • support from an incredible group of super charged marketers
  • tons of resources

I am a true believer in Sally as a coach…I do know first hand now ;)

Sally is an incredible marketer and I must tell you that although I thought I knew Sally fairly well…this marketer is brilliant. Seriously…I knew Sally was smart but now that I am being coached by her I realize the depth of the knowledge that this woman possesses. No wonder she is such a huge success.

Here is my first ever…in the buff…video…

I hope you enjoy it…at least I know the content is great!

“THE REPLAYS”

If you’ve been thinking about super charging your blogging or possibly you want to start blogging…then look no further. Sally’s monkey see/monkey do videos are your answer.

For anyone that likes to see results first...check out the student blogs…look at the archives and see how much progress has been made…

Barry-wells.com-Barry is really taking off as a blogger. Look out into the night sky…you’ll see his star rising rapidly. (by the way…if you visit his blog…be sure and call him “Pinkie”…

IanIeba.com- I can’t say enough about Ian’s blog. He has an incredible series on PLR being offered right now. What you will find out for free is amazing. His star is not far behind Barry’s…and if you go to his blog…be sure and call him “Pinkie”…

DawnKaysblog.com- So happy to see another female marketer doing so well! I cannot believe how much progress Dawn has made since she hooked up with Sally. She alone is a great testimonial for Sally. Her star is lighting up as I write this.

NikkiStevens.com- Here’s another strong female marketer ;) who has completely changed up her blog and written some really helpful blog posts along with a pdf since joining Sally’s course. Watch for her star too…

And check out the rest of these blogs…some have just begun and others are well on their way but everyone is making super progress…

Jacinta Dean Blog (Jacinta has been side lined…sharing the family flu ;) …she’s better now and we expect great things from her ;)

Jean Shaw Blog (Jean is another that has some personal issues but she shines anyway and we hope to have her on board fully soon.

Sarah Knight Blog- a new blogger who is coming along nicely ;)

Nigel Yip Blog- Some personal issues have held Nigel up but I suspect he’ll be back in full force soon. We’re looking forward to it as Nigel has already proved himself to be a great blogger.

Michelle Lyall Blog-a new blogger who is sharing her coaching story on her blog…watch for her first video to appear one of these days.

Greg Taylor Blog- Another new blogger who will be making waves…check back soon and often.

DeeAnn Rice Blog- DeeAnn has joined us…she already has a great blog that I suspect is going to improve with Sally’s coaching. DeeAnn gives great advice and help in her blog posts.

As you can see, we have people in class on all levels…and everyone helps eveyone else out. It is a very nurturing environment…and I have to tell you that I believe it’s worth it to join Sally’s coaching just to mingle with some of these super charged marketers. Hanging with them on Facebook and other social sites and learning from them as well as Sally is a real bonus.

These guys will get you moving…believe me.

Sally is an action taker and boy does she create action takers!

Until the next time… (yes…I know my new blog design isn’t up yet…creative differences ;)

enJOY…every moment…

    Hi Kathy, congratulations on facing the camera and creating your video. Like you I’m now working from behind due to the issues I had last week. But this week is set aside for catch up only :)

    The offer from Sally is first class and I strongly recommend people to grab the offer with both hands.

    I’ve been blogging for over 2 years now and in the last few (short) weeks I’ve really seen my blogging efforts take off and the results I’m having are far far greater than I could ever of imagined.

    Thanks for listing the blogs on the coaching Kathy, that was very kind of you.

    Just one thing….. What’s all this Pinkie stuff? :lol:

    Congratulations Kathy, another fear fighter making progress.

    Have a great week, Barry

      Ohhhhh…it feels so good to have this behind me! No doubt I will have to get in front of the camera again real soon so that I don’t get afraid again! ha ha…

    Hi Kathy

    Well done you, you’re first “in front” of camera video and it was great! :)

    Thank you for the shout out and including a link to my PLR series Kathy I really appreciate it, and for listing the other student’s blogs. There is some amazing content on those blogs I can highly recommend that your readers pop over and take a look at them.

    From the moment I heard Sally was going to launch a teaching program I knew I wanted to be on it, it has surpassed all my expectations and I have learnt so much that has really taken my online business to the next level and we are only just over half way through the course.

    But the other thing I would like to mention is that I have also learnt a great deal from my fellow students and they have been so supportive and helpful in so many ways.

    This is an amazing offer from Sally and I would urge your readers to jump on board and hold tight as they are in for the ride of their lives! ;)

    Cannot comment on the “Pinkie” comment though as I am sure I don’t know what you mean, you’ll have to ask Barry!! :lol:

    Again congratulations Kathy, another fear you can tick off your list … well done you :)

    Take care, catch up soon

    Hi Kathy, still looking good, I don’t think you’ve changed much since I saw you on the video interview you did with Tyrone Shum! It’s a great barrier to cross when you get in front of the camera, isn’t it. I remember you being nervous about being ‘seen’ then too! Great camera style, you are very easy to listen to and your video just flowed nicely.

    Enjoy the journey.

    And I thought it was just Dawn Kay that was constantly bullied into the fetish scene by Sally….
    Whats next – gimp masks??… no wait Sally already did that on facebook…. Mwuhaha!
    At least no one can blame my Northallerton Meet Up for Kathy, like they tried to for Sally & Dawn getting all kinky ;)

    I’m so thrilled you are learning so much from Sally’s course. Having worked with her myself in the past, I know she really puts out quality information and if you just apply what she teaches, then you are on your way.

    Congratulations again for your video success and for sharing all the other people included in her training as well. I have no doubt they are all kicking butt too. I definitely know a few of them and they are taking the blogging world by storm.

    Hey Kathy,

    Awwww that has to be the nicest thing anyone has said about me in a video, thanks so much, I just sat there with a big smile on my face the whole time.

    Then I dragged Jade in to watch it, and she sat with a big smile on her face.

    Then later I went to my Mum’s and showed her the video and she had a big smile on her face!

    So there ya go, three big smiles from your first video cant be bad ha ha.

    You look fabulous on camera, really calm, although I am sure you were a little nervous as we all are at first.

    The video has all the required components, and an added bonus of some lip gloss ha ha ha, does like nice though, was it cherry flavor lol.

    Congrats Kathy, you are a fabulous student, you need no butt kicking, I simply plant a seed and off you go and make it blossom into something really special.

    Thanks again for making me smile, and Jade, and my Mum.

    I will be referring to your video many many many times in the future of course, because I am still on a journey like you, so we are both creating our next chapters.

    And, I’m sure with both our hard work they will be happily ever afters….

      Lots of marketers know “the stuff” they can teach you that…getting traffic, getting numbers etc.
      but not many marketers have the quality that you do…

    Did the lip gloss help (ha ha)

    You have come on in leaps and bounds since doing Sally’s coaching and the results you are getting is amazing so keep it up…

    And if anyone else wants to take their journey on to the next level then I highly recommend they click your link below your video and grab Sally’s coaching for themselves.

    I soooo Loooove your video. You are an awesome being. It is an honor to have also seen you doing the daring thing of showing yourself in the video. “Daring” I say, but it is no worries, videos are a lot easy in explaining things, it shows emotion to the points where you want to acknowledge or emphasize things of interest. Overall, you did great. I am now your avid fan and do hopes to see more videos. ( I think I hear another videos of you ‘these coming posts”)

  • Hello Kathy, congratulations on creating your first video. I noticed Sally is very popular among bloggers, and she seems to tech you very useful skills to use online. I might be jumping in front of the wagon, but I might not be able to tell you about this later on. I’ve heard of a software that helps online business owners monitor employee activity and their performance. It is useful when the employees work from home, and the employer wants to be sure they are taking care of their responsibilities. Maybe you could tell this to Sally, she seems like a successful person who might need such an aid in her work. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Keep up the good work, Leonard

  • Jay MuellerNo Gravatar says:

    Hi Kathy,

    Great offer and a great first video! Congratulations!

    I have not gotten into the videos yet, but I am playing with them behind the scenes a bit.

    I’ve been busy moderation Matt Wolfe’s WordPress Classroom forum and seem to be making some good money by mentoring individuals building their online businesses. I am also getting ready to change my http://www.makingmoneyontheinter.net site to a paid membership site. If you get signed up for the free version before the end of the month you will automatically convert to the pro membership when I do the conversion. So stop on by (anyone). I never would have thought about me having a membership site if it wasn’t for your book. So thanks for that!

    It has been a busy year for me with both of my parents passing 5 weeks apart earlier in the year. I’ve been back to MN a couple times fixing up their house to get it on the market. We haven’t even started working on the lake home they had. But on one of the trips I stopped at my retirement home in AR to stain it.

    I’m also working on a new book on step by step instructions to get online, set up a WordPress website, how to tweak the site, how to blog, get traffic, set up search engine optimization, how to get backlinks…you get the idea. It is over 100 pages so far and I think I am about 2/3 of the way done. I writing it as I work with building my mentorship programs. Interaction with people who are trying to learn the business is ensuring that I provide the content that everyone is looking for.

    So while I have not done the video bit yet, it is not because I’m sitting still. I’ll catch up to you one of these days.

    Take Care,
    Jay
