Hi Kind People!

I haven't posted here for a while so I've been having fun getting up to date. In the meantime I have written an e-book for people who have decided to do something about their finances and then wonder what to do next. It's called Master Your Money and then something. ..and I've created a survey to decide what the other bit is.
The link is below. All I'm asking is that you choose from ONE title and if you wish, you can then sign up for a bonus report (37 plus ways to spend less and save more without suffering!)
I'll let you know when the results are in (woo-hoo!)

Thanks a million again...

Hey, Anne -

Of the five...

1. Master Your Money: A simple 5 step plan to help you save more and spend less without suffering!

2. Master Your Money: A simple 5 step plan to set yourself up for financial success by saving more and spending less

3. Master Your Money: Free your financial gremlins in 5 easy steps!

4. Master Your Money: Learn how to easily save more and spend less

5. Master Your Money: Set yourself up for financial success by taming your money gremlins - easily save more and spend less

I think number one is my favourite of those listed, but had a few other possibles for you...

• A simple 5 step plan for financial success
• Effortless ways to spend less, save more, and create financial freedom
• A struggle-free plan for financial success

The one I would definitely avoid is "Free your financial gremlins in 5 easy steps!"  Sounds terrifying... I wouldn't want those gremlins running around free - someone might feed them after midnight... 

love,
michael

haha - I agree with Michael about the gremlins.

look I'm kinda new here and still getting a lay of the land and, well I really want to let you know I hope I don't hurt your feelings here - not intentionally trying to... and it sounds like you have put a great deal of effort into these projects - and asking for honest feedback is an intensely courageous act! You are to be applauded!

And definitely I'm not picking on the book or its contents here... just judging the book by the cover...
"save more and spend less" doesn't sound fun. It sounds like work... and stuff I really don't like to have to think about.
It sounds like what I have been rebelling against (my parents post-depression-penny-pinching-thrift) my whole life.
my personal challenges aside... the phrase made it hard for me to like any of the titles that included it.

SO... to say... what I am looking for on the cover of a book is something that tells me that you have a way for me to have fun, be successful and allows me to do that in a relaxed and easy way. A way that I can find and know my own inherent beauty and light - in my way - as I move toward greater financial freedom/success.

The way you come across in your post is really fun. is there a way to let that shine through in the title?

My off the cuff suggestions:
"five super fun ways of struggle-free financial success"
"Put Woo-Hoo in your Wallet" (Woo Hoo was a word I took from your post, but I think Washington Mutual Bank is using that phrase in their latest ad campaign so maybe not...)
"5 simple ways to simply have more money" (having more money is done by saving more and spending less).


I guess bottom line for me, is I like number 2 best up to the point that you say spend less, save more, with just a minor tweak.
"Master Your Money: 5 simple steps to financial success"
(I like brevity)


Many, Many blessings on your endeavor!
Tom

ps... just checked out and bookmarked your website!

Amazing resources there!
Thank you for sharing them!

[AnneW]

Thanks so much for the feedback...and no, I wasn't a bit offended by anything anyone said...thank you so much for taking the time to respond..
I did the survey and got 100 responses and the one (by a nose) with the highest response...was yes, you guessed it..the one about the gremlins! Perhaps that's a cultural thing...it would have been a lot of Irish/English people doing it...but that's what the group indicated and I figured...why ask if I wasn't going to go with it!
Thanks again for your help...
