Hey Everyone-

Haven't been on in a while, but believe me, my muse has been on my mind the whole time. It was nice to log on and see that a few people IMed me asking me how it was going - one person even said he recommended my muse to someone else and to count it as a sale! How's that for product testing?

So first of all thanks for the interest.

For those of you who don't know me, my muse is 90daypianist.com - an ebook about learning to play the piano without music in front of you. Something I Have years of experience with, though my mom has questioned my teaching abilities (lol).

What have I been up to? Well - get this - my computer exploded. My motherboard fried, or something like that. Of all the obstacles in the world, huh? SO I have a laptop now.

My site, 90daypianist.com, is the same, but that doesn't mean I haven't been working. I've improved the eBook to include pictures and sounds, and I've set up an account for customers to download. So I can have the business running by the end of the week - and will.

The main challenge ahead is dealing with PPC. I've found a few interesting resources, but I"m going to keep the "testing" mantra and just keep going. My budget is limited, but a three-paycheck month helps for funding. (Background: I'm 23 with lots of rent but little OTHER expenses.)

I'm thinking of doing some freelance writing if I need additional funding - I'm getting hungrier and hungrier for this, so I'm willing to work at it. Failing that, I'll keep taking a few hundred per month and learn PPC until I start converting and getting to my goal.

My dreamline has changed. It's up to 500/week. That's expenses plus a little added on as Tim recommends.

Hold off the comments on the page right now if you can...I'm going to update it yet with the OLD changes first.

Hi there - just wanted to mention, you might want to try Yahoo and/or MSN for PPC, much cheaper. Yahoo sent me a $100 ad credit awhile back, I'll see if I can dig it up.

Now, how did you get the interview with Tim? :)

I just e-mailed and asked - this was before he went mega best-seller, back in April I think. I caught on to this stuff earlier than most, I think. In fact, he found out he made the best seller list the day he talked to me. I talked to him on the phone and then we did an interview on Skype.

Thanks for the tip about the PPC. I'll definitely look into it! A credit would be huge.
