Thanks so much guys!

There were four separate tests – you didn’t all see the same one. Here are the votes:

THE WEALTHY GYPSY 31
THE FOUR FREEDOMS 35

THE WEALTHY GYPSY 92
THE WEALTHY SERVANT 141

THE WEALTHY GYPSY 171
THE WEALTHY HOME BODY 71

THE WEALTHY GYPSY 132
WEALTHY SERVICE 108

So The Wealthy Servant is in the lead so far. And many responded to ‘while you sleep’

But – most of you didn’t like ANY OF THEM.

So I’d still like to test the following 6 titles, and will send out another email.

1) Wealthy Gratitude – while you sleep

2) ‘Give Your Way to Wealth – while you sleep’
(‘Share Your Way to Wealth – while you sleep’)

3) ‘Become Wealthy Sharing What You Love – while you’re sleeping’

4) Serve the World & Be Wealthy – while you sleep
(Serve and Be Wealthy – while you sleep)

5) Wealthy Dreaming – the art of making money while you sleep
(The Wealthy Dreamer – the art of making money while you sleep)

6) The Wealthy Servant – how to serve and earn, while you sleep

thank you so much

I chose the first one because “neither” was not an option. I agree with most of the others in saying that we know you can do better. You are an awesome communicator. Honestly though, I wouldn’t pick up either one. I’d go more for something like, “Green Dreams: How to make money while you’re sleeping”, or “Wealthy Dreaming: The art of making money while you sleep.” I do like the making money while you sleep aspect of the title. Looking forward to seeing the finished title and product. Blessings to all.

I see the real question was servant or gypsy. I too was attracted by the “while you sleep” I am an advocate regarding dreams but as coaches we are here to be of service to others – gypsy seems to me like using some sort of crystal ball – whereas coaching is down to earth.

While I was not fond of either title, I chose Service as I consider myself a service provider versus a gypsy. What I really liked was the idea of making money while you sleep – don’t we all. Isn’t that now called passive income stream. Let me know when the book is published!!!

Wealthy Gypsy

Servant seemed old and/or “new age”, which is again, kinda old and a bit of a turn-off to me.

Gypsy has some mystery to it, which I like.

In either case, “while you sleep” didn’t intrigue me or make me curious, it was just a “huh?”, which could work or not in terms of getting people to pick up the book. It really needs “share……. and make money, even while you sleep!” which I agree may be kinda long.

I didn’t like either title either. I just found Gypsy more objectionable and you did not give an option for not choosing either. hmmmm….

The basic title has been done, overcooked, stale, burnt, and carbonized as bad as all the sales copy everyone uses online with the narrow pages that scroll forever and give you carpal finger syndrome by the time you get to the ‘special offer’ at the bottom.

Get my point? I’m a visionary you know!

Dare to be different, David!

How about something like:

Abundance Flows While You Sleep – A Wealthly Gypsy tell all.

Home-body makes it sound like it’s easy – the lazy person’s dream (couch potato) … and let’s face it.. to start – it’s not easy.
