As a Dating Expert who has both lived in a few different metro regions (New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles/The OC and Las Vegas) as well as worked with singles in a number of different cities both within the United States as well as around the world, one of the considerations a number of singles have is they want to meet, date, and mate with another single in their local area.

Yes, you will see on some of the online dating niche sites, like those which are faith based for Muslims, Christian or Jewish Singles, is that the single will often make some statement like, “Distance is no object.”  They think the are open to loving and partnering up with another single from any where in the country.

And in a manner, they are open like that.  They are open to love coming to them from just about anywhere.

And then reality kicks in.

In order to really fall in love, to attract your Soul Mate and build a relationship, you actually need to open up and share each others lives together.  Courtship which leads to marriage requires that you share your lives and actually BE with each other.  So much of the dating style of the “Single – Never Married” folks is to either “hang” on the sofa and watch movies, while fun, eventually becomes boring, or to go do the consumer single dating style of going “out” all the time.  Neither of these models is actually what we DO in the normal LIFE of a married couple/life partner relationship.  When I coach singles who are divorced or widowed and we get to that part of my coaching system, they say, “OMG, April, you are brilliant! This is so true!” (I heard this today from one widowed lady.)  And they can see how I approach relationship attraction and building form reality and not from some pipe dream which will never happen.

Real relationships are between human beings.  There are some crass metaphors for describing this which I will refrain from using to illustrate my point.

When you are looking to attract love and build a life partner relationship, generally speaking, to do so you need to be in person.  In order to experience that, this means you want to date another single who is local to you or at least in your metro area region.  That can still mean that they live a few hours away from you.  However, unless you travel to certain metro areas repeatedly for business, you want to keep your targets on another single who lives within a few hours of you, and not thousands miles away, which would be just fooling yourself.

Then you actually have a chance of attracting, meeting, and mating with your Soul Mate and developing the kind of lifelong love relationship which you are craving.

Happy Dating and Relationships,

Good day everyone,

Tis Friday or thereabouts,

Hopefully the review materials had enough triggers in them to write down a few big and small picture ideas.

Make it a great day and bring out your strategy questions.

Good day all,

Very glad to see nice results from promo. Nothing teaches like real life.

Make it an amazing day today!

So ... you won't hear from me for a bit. My husband, the dog and I are heading out 'camping'. Here's a picture of the rig with the 'toybox' behind it. Just about any mode of transportation is available upon setting up camp. A canoe or kayak; mopeds; bicycles and a little miata for touring.

We've gotten almost all the fall cleanup done around the homestead. When it's complete ... it's off we go. Where? South. Not Florida. That's about as far as we get with 'planning'. Usually we end up somewhere around Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. Who's to say this year? By travelling with no itinerary, there is no chance of anything messing up. This doesn't work for everyone, but it's how we usually travel and always have ... even when the children were little.

Life is an adventure -- enjoy it!

While I'm away, I'll have my trusty little computer with me working diligently at getting new web copy, promotional material, teleseminars and presentations ready. I have a LOT of ideas for the upcoming year -- and BIG goals to achieve.

Talk to you soon...

Sue

Very nice to see the words "opt in" being thrown around.

And concern about emails that contain spam triggers....the world it does advance.

Apparantly amazon sold out of the books they originally ordered because it is 1-3 weeks for shipping now. (more books were shipped to amazon today)

Will be interesting!

Good day everyone,

Well you've had a taste of real life internet marketing.

About 80 people from your emails including yourselves went to www.the168hourweek24-7  today. I was anticipating closer to 500 or perhaps 750. Not sure what to make of that.

Next time you do a JV make sure you email everyone in your address book. Mom, Dad, the kid down the street. Almost all internet marketers keep track of exactly who sells books, who mails, what the specific numbers are. People who mail and sell get asked back. People who don't, don't. I call people who don't mail "defectors." In the business they call them something else...

I also want to thank you for the effort that was made by those who really worked on the promo. You know who you are. You can know that I am well aware of who tried like hell. (Effort in lieu of results does matter because you know who is worth taking a chance on in the future.)

You'll continue to see people stopping off at your website now. Not a ton but enough to know that you are no longer in the elementary mode....You are now officially in business.

When I find out about how many books were sold today, I'll let you know. First guess is 400. We sold about 300 going into late morning.

The new audio files are posted at the website.

Much to do this week. Lots of documents coming your way.

You'll want to listen to those files ASAP. They won't be available after the course due to pillaging that happened. And, ask tons of questions.

There are six days remaining in the course. WOW. What a journey!

Make it an amazing day everyone!

Off to a nice start. I've had better and I've had worse.

But things are moving. A large percentage of people want the downloadable audio files for the book and are ordering two copies, worth noting your promo at lunch time.

Make it an amazing day!

ah...here we go....

Plan now to measure how many people come to your website this next week vs. how many actually opt in the first time vs. the second opt in (if you go for a two opt in) then what number download or take advantage of what your product/service is

This will be an excellent look at the entire process of what you'll be doing 1000 times in the future. At each step you'll see on Sunday Night/Monday that you can improve the process SOMEWHERE...and I'm sure you will mid day on Monday figure out how to increase response and follow through. You'll figure out at every step where you went wrong and where you went right.

The real learning experience is not the creating of the product or making the website but of understanding the mind of the person who arrives at your website. When you start to read their mind based upon whether they click or not, you'll make shifts in strategy and by Monday night/Tuesday you'll be getting a higher percentage of people do what you "hope" they will do.

Faster is almost always crucial.

Clunky is deadly.

And a lot people will write me and I will forward the emails about you, to you. (Emails are almost never good news...but they are feedback which helps you have better results)

It's going to be a fascinating experience.

I watch things pretty close in amazon promo's. There's hundreds of people involved with thousands of things that go wrong with buyers, sponsors, my own website, amazon being up or down, amazon registering the book as out of stock or not. The website could collapse under the weight of too many people there. (This happened once and never again. You always pay for space because days like this are the 80 part of the 80/20 rule)

If you don't have space on your website to handle the traffic you MIGHT get, you MIGHT want to find a few extra gigabytes laying around!

There are so many things that can and will happen. All 100% identifiable by clicks and email response.

This is the lesson few people ever get to experience.

Enjoy the process.

Act quickly.

Have fun.

Help make it a great day.

Remember the world is ROUND. I don't "believe" in Karma, but I see "it" happen everyday. Be great to each person that comes to your page.

Have an amazing....day.

Good day everyone.

The doc's I sent today were the balance for the week.

The email I sent that had the System in it was probably one of those top ten....maybe top 5. that will

help you in the thinking process going forward.

make it a great day everyone!
