So, I stopped automatically deleting my e-mail spam and looked at some of them. It seemed a harmless act. Most of it of it was deletable, but some of it was interesting. I thought, what would it hurt to see what these people were selling?
Okay, so I started to buy into what I was seeing. Part of that was the desire to change my life. I was tired of working at the same job, 30 years and counting, and part of it was that I wanted to lead a more positive lifestyle. Not to mention that I've lived in the same house for over 20 years, a duplex that was originally meant to be a transition home to a bigger house after about 5 years. Ahh, the best laid plans.
One of the e-mails I was getting was from an Australian couple selling a pre-fab movie program to create a visual tool for positive affirmations. They call it Mind Movies. They were offering access to their program at a "sale" price, and they had preproduced movies I could download for free. So I did. And I liked them. Then I decided I'd like to make my own, so I bought their package.
This was the first.
The movie kit included choices of music, topics, graphics and text, then you could use their picture library or upload your own pictures. I had a ball!
Then there was a free download of advice on finding your perfect mate. The Soulmate Secret by Arielle Ford. She was interesting, but my interest level on this subject was minimal.
I downloaded a "tool kit" for raising your personal vibration level, Love or Above, by Christie Marie Sheldon, which included a meditation audio and a couple of e-books. Her product was really interesting, but I haven't bought the whole program yet. I found her voice a little grating, but she has a good product. I'm recommending her to other people.
Then there was Margaret Lynch. She sells an EFT (emotional freedom technique) program that involved clearing your chakras by tapping some energy points and voicing your problems. I downloaded and followed a few videos that had me tapping my financial troubles away. I still like to watch them.
There was Christine Arylo, Bob Doyle, Chris and Janet Attwood, Maestropath, David and Kristin Morelli, Bob Proctor, and a few more people, all who had programs to sell after you signed up for their free newsletters or downloaded their free videos and e-books. I was pretty picky about what I bought, but I enjoyed all of the free material. I signed up for webinars, e-conferences and radio shows, avoiding the ones I had to pay for, and found myself glued to my computer. I was not only learning about the law of attraction, EFT, positive affirmations and personal frequency vibrations, I was finding out that web technology had advanced much farther and faster than I'd been aware of. My tech-brain was drinking it all in and I wondered how I could use some of it.
I also learned that I really believed what these people were saying, particularly because I was already aware of what they were selling. It's just more profitable now to package the old stuff into new technological versions. What was once "new age," "hippy dippy," and "way out there," 20 years ago, is now popular as a way to save the earth and improve our lives.
All of this made me more determined to get my book out there, because I had information that wasn't being shared: more old stuff that's been around forever, but not talked about much. So I worked my book over, rewriting some of it, adding to what I already had. Then I tucked it away again, because I still didn't know what to do with it.
Next chapter I will start my adventures with the final webinar, which turned out to be the most expensive "free" information I ever bought into.
