It’s spring, and the days seem brighter. We’re shaking off the slumber off winter and moving a little quicker. Flowers are starting to peek out and all seems good with the world… Until you open the newspapers, turn on the TV or catch up with some newsfeeds!

What is going on? Debt is becoming a bigger issue by the day. There are tent camps outside Los Angeles; banking ripples in New York; and Northern Rock (the bank involved in the sub-prime debacle, and recently nationalised by the UK Government to bail it out) is expecting to set new records in house repossessions this year…. I could go on.

Becoming debt free seems like a harder task each day. So we wanted to bring you a glimmer of hope.

We’ve been struggling online for a while now, trying to make sense of it all. Struggling with the overload of information and constant barrage of emails from so-called gurus promising the ‘next-big-thing’. Fed up with outsourcers letting us down.

Everything we tried seemed like hard work or expensive. And we were getting discouraged and tired of it all.

So we went back to basics. We teach entrepreneurship, yet we weren’t following our own golden rule:

“Do what makes your heart sing and the money will follow.”

Our passion is helping other people transform their lives. Pure and simple. We’ve been doing it offline for years. We finally got that we needed to do it online. So we started with The DebtFreePlaybook and more recently, with this blog. And it’s really working - to a degree that’s surprised even us!

This is how it happened for us:

We had downloaded The Authority Black Book a long time ago, but only got around to reading in February just gone. It inspired us and started to make sense of this whole “Social Web 2.0″ thing. It’s an incredibly valuable tool. And it’s FREE. We like free!

Then we heard that Jack Humphrey, the author of The Authority Black Book, was starting a membership site to teach people exactly how to take advantage of all the Social Networking and Web 2.0 sites.

We’re not very hot on structure, so a ready-made plan was what we really needed. At first, we thought it would be way too expensive. After all, most guru’s charge big bucks for their membership sites, and we’d been down that road before… But Jack charges less than $30 a month for his membership site.

In our first month, we started seeing results. And they just keep coming.

March was an incredible month for us. You can see that our traffic has soared, and we’ve even hit the front page of Google for a couple of our keywords. Have a look at these stats:

The best bit though, is that this work has genuinely become fun and we’ve made a lot of friends. Every day we can see results: more traffic, more friends, more links, more readers and, yes, more MONEY.

As well as the traffic, Heather’s been interviewed by DebtCC; we had a post in The Carnival of Kids and Money; and another in The Carnival of Money Stories, just today. The number of people who read the blog every day has multiplied by a factor of 4. All in one month!

So what has this got to do with you? Well, we hope you can start to see a glimmer of possibilities…

What are you passionate about? What do you care about or know about, that you start a blog or a site about? What are you passionate about, that you know other people are also interested in? How could access to Jack’s membership site boost the chances of your success? At least download The Authority Black Book to give you an insight into how all this can work for you… If you’re already publishing your own blog, then you’re one step ahead anyway.

And the final piece of news: You know we’re passionate about helping as many people as possible get out of debt…

Well, to celebrate our recent success, we’re slashing the cost of The DebtFree Playbook to an almost ridiculous level. It used to be $47.00 for US customers, and £25 for UK customers…

Now it’s going to be $19.95 for our US customers, and £9.95 for people in the UK!

If I were a guru, I might call that a no-brainer! And no, this is not a time-sensitive, limited-availability kind of a thing. It’s just a very fair price for a great product that can help you get out of debt - fast.

So go to The DebtFree Playbook site to pick up a copy for yourself. Then come back and tell us about your success online, or offline.
