Recently, I was sitting at my computer, when a strange notification popped up on my screen. Two, in fact. Apparently I’d just received two emails from myself. These emails were promoting an eBook we’d written, showing examples of real-life sales funnels. I distinctly remembered writing these emails… Six months earlier. In fact, they’d already been sent to our list many months…
I received a message last week – “Miriam, how’s the sale of your house going?” Our house is on the market. And the truth is, it’s all moving too slowly, which is why we’re considering sell my house fast alternatives. The recent election killed demand stone dead in our area, and it’s only just picking…
Last week I sent out an email – A one-liner. ‘What’s the biggest challenge you face with your online marketing right now?’ It might surprise you, but that super-short email got more responses than practically anything else I’ve ever sent out. I was thrilled to hear from people launching webinars and writing eBooks, setting up…
Recently, I spent seven days at a mastermind and conference in San Diego. The resort was stunning and the people I met – all entrepreneurs with online businesses – were unbelievably inspiring. It was a privilege to meet so many ‘regular’ people doing extraordinary things, from helping people overcome bereavement or lead healthier lives…
A couple of weeks ago, an old TV clip resurfaced – and went viral. It was just a few minutes from the original, British series of House of Cards from 1993. The scenario: A gas explosion on the fourth floor of a run-down building block in London causes a massive fire, which kills 72….
I woke up to an unfamiliar sound yesterday morning.

She’d been cleaning out her room – entirely voluntarily….
“Neurons at the ready … Go!” It’s the final of the World Memory Championships at the University of Oxford. Ed Cooke is one of 34 finalists who have just been given a shuffled pack of playing cards to memorise. Focusing hard, he quickly skims through the cards, then smacks the timer next to him. It…
“Where do you get your ideas from?” Every writer is faced with that question on a regular basis. Marketers, too. Here at Brainstorm Digital, we have a very particular process we go through to come up with great ideas both for ourselves and for our clients – ideas that are not only interesting, but will…
156. That’s how many books I have downloaded on my Kindle right now. It’s taken me a couple of years, so on average that’s around 1.5 books a week Not that I’ve read all of them – I have work to do :- ) But I’ve certainly skimmed through most. Some I’ve read often. And…
Have you ever stood at the checkout at the supermarket or WH Smith, just waiting to pay, while the cashier tries to sell you additional products? I don’t know about you, but it drives me crazy. I am highly resistant to these “special deals”, which are usually of no interest to me whatsoever. “Would you…
