Hi Barry, your year may have gone off track from what you planned, but then it didn’t finish as planned either and it finished a good one. Congratulations on all your prize wins, well deserved I say
Thanks for your well wishes and I wish you and your family all the best for the Holiday Season and may 2012 finish with a bigger bang for you that 2011 did.
Take Care Barry

Hi Barry
Wow! – You’ve done well to win all those prizes.
Yeah Christmas again Barry, I hope all is well with your Mum, I can understand how difficult things were for you at that time.
You’ve really came leaps and bounds Barry with Sally’s coaching and I know she’s one heck of a teacher and it shows. Have you any plans for the coming year ahead?
I have to agree with you that Facebook is a fantastic source for sending traffic, that’s where I saw your post that brought me here, thanks for the best wishes in the video mate…sorry it’s been a while since my last visit, been quite busy.
I wish you a Merry Christmas to you and your family and may 2012 be a year which brings you what you wish for.

Hi Eamon,
My mum is still very confused but, sadly, that’s part of her condition now. She’s still fighting it all though mate, Dublin girl through and through
Yes I have come on leaps and bounds this year Eamon and that is a direct result of Sally’s coaching and the new skills I’ve learnt from her.
Plans for next year?….. I want to finish the projects I’ve started and continue to go over Sally’s coaching and fine tune everything. I want to build on my video making and then pass those skills on to others and I have a couple of ideas for products (free ones)
I’ll be having another video challenge early next year as well and want to get as many on board as possible so as to pass the skillls on
Arrr Facebook: Yes another point proved by Sally. I avoided it for ages thinking it would sap my time but looking at the traffic it’s bringing I can see that I should’ve got over there long before I did. To think I’ve only been using it for a few months and instantly it appeared in my traffic sources.
No worries about the time thing Eamon, I know you’re a busy fella and always appreciate that.
Have a fantastic Christmas Eamon and a Happy New Year mate.
Take care, Barry

Hey Barry,
Well, your year may not have started off as you had planned but it looks like it ended up being a pretty darn good year after all. Look at everything you won. Wow, I’m so impressed and every time I came over here and found out what else you’ve won, boy talk about jealous. But I couldn’t really be because I hadn’t entered any contest so it was my own fault.
I did like the calendar you created by the way, really nice job.
Thanks for your wonderful video message and always a pleasure to see you in person. Congratulations on how well your year did end up going and I have no doubt big things are in store for the upcoming year as well.
So great to have had this chance to get to know you Barry. I’m really looking forward to seeing what 2012 holds in store for us both.
Have a Very Merry Christmas and a Fabulous New Year!
God Bless,
~Adrienne
Adrienne recently posted..Merry Christmas Everyone
Hi Adrienne,
You’re so right Adrienne, the year started off terribly but ended on a high, in fact my best year online so far.
Yes that’s the thing with competitions, you have to be in it to win it. I’m forever sending a text in to the TV now to win the thousands they offer in their prizes but my luck hasn’t reached them YET
I’m glad you like the calendar Adrienne. They’re a nice way of staying in peoples minds without being a royal pain in the butt
I enjoyed creating the video and adding my chuckle at the end
and during it I learnt a new trick in Camtasia. I find that when facing the camera they always come out to dark so this time rather than flooding my room with lights I altered the brightness in Camtasia 
I’ve got the transcription back from Dawn now so over the holidays i want to get on to the product. Fingers crossed i’m not in hospital to long this time and can get home and working again….. Mind you is it work when we enjoy it so much? I’m sure you know what I mean Adrienne
It sure has been a pleasure getting to know each other my friend, 2012 is going to be fantastic
Have a fantastic Christmas and a Happy New Year
Take good care,
Barry

Hi Barry,
I’ve seen you popping by my blog a few times – thanks for that, so seeing & hearing your video was great, at least I now know where you hail from, as that sure isn’t a North American accent.
All the best for 2012

Well done Barry, its great to see your blog becoming so popular this year.
The end of my 2011 has just ended with disaster with the loss of a good friend, and at only 33 he has left us too early.
Well done on the prizes, the Camtasia license is invaluable looks like it has proved to be very handy.
I have just shut down for Christmas now and intend to take a well deserved few days off and get ready for a New Year and new ideas.
Well done once more, have a great Christmas and New Year

Hi Dan,
I’m so sorry to hear your sad news, 33 is way to early to leave. It’s sad at any time of the year but always worse at this one. My heart goes out to all those missing loved ones at Christmas.
Winning the Camtasia and Sally’s coaching couldn’t have come at a better time Dan and kind of hand in hand so It’s going to help me continue my journey and create loads of videos showing everyone what I’m doing
I’m closing down later today Dan, but will still doing some work over the holidays to tidy up some loose ends and complete some projects
Have as good a Christmas as is possible Dan, I know it’ll be hard having lost your friend but try to have a good one for the children mate and A Happy New Year
Thanks Dan,
Barry

Hey Barry, tell your mum hello, and Merry Christmas from your friend in Canada! I hope 2012 is a great year for you, and you accomplish a ton of great stuff!
I can’t get over how much you’ve won online, and think that is great! The camera looks to take a pretty clear video for you.
I hope you all have a great Christmas my friend!

Hi Warren,
I had a fantastic year what with winning so much online, every item won has helped in some way or another and came together just at the right moment.
The video was a little dark to start with but thanks to Camtasia I was able to brighten the whole video…. saved loads of re-takes due to poor light
I hope you and your family have a fantastic Christmas Warren and a Happy New Year mate. I hope 2012 answers your prayers mate

Hi Barry,
I’m sorry to hear about your mother.
It seems that you’ve had a awesome year when it comes to marketing. Thanks a lot for all your tips. I’m going to download the calendar and take a closer look at the course you’re recommending.
Happy holidays.

Hi Jens, I hope that you had a great Christmas
It was sad news with my mum but looking on the bright side, she’s still with us so we’re very lucky really.
The year ended very well and is in fact my best year since starting online and that’ll be even better next year Jens.
Have a Happy New year Jens and I’ll catch you up again real soon.

Sorry for being so late on this post Barry. I am sorry about your mom, actually I’ve just learned today from Adrienne Smith that it’s how she got to know you, when you were talking about your mom’s health issues on Twitter. I totally understand all that. Been there.
However, you’ve done great and your blog looks great too. I am looking forward to have that interview with you as soon as you are ready!
Have a very happy New Year!!!
Sylviane Nuccio recently posted..Why Should You Use Article Directories To Promote Your Blog
Hi Sylviane, I hope that you had a fantastic Christmas
You don’t ever need to say sorry for being late getting here my friend. I am always late getting other peoples posts
Yes it was how Adrienne and I connected, through tweets of my mums health issues. My mum’s still with us so we’re blessed in that way.
Thanks for the compliments on my blog Sylviane, it’s appreciated. I’m off to hospital in about 30 minutes and won’t be discharged until the end of the week, I hope. Once I’m back we can get on and hold the interview. Should be ok for one day next week?
Have a Happy New Year Sylviane
Take care, Barry

Hi Barry,
I hope that Christmas went well for you and your family and you will have a great 2012. It’s sad to hear about your mother, I feel your pain. Two of my Uncles suffer from dementia and so does my wife’s Aunt. Let’s all hope that the doctors make headway in conquering this dreadful illness.
Peace and love.
Ed.
Hi Ed, sorry for the delay in replying mate but i’ve just come home from a short hospital stop. Nothing to worry about, just a check over that took a few days due to my condition.
Christmas was fantastic this year, thanks Ed. I had my mum over and she was able to enjoy it this year which was a blessing. I hope that you also had a good one my friend and hope that you have a great new years bash tonight as well.
Sorry to hear that so many of your family suffer with dementia, a truly wicked illness that i hope the powers that be learn to cure in the near future.
Have a very Happy new Year Ed and I’ll catch you up next year
Take cate, Barry

It has been a great year for you and you deserved all the stuff you won. Blogging takes time and true effort. You do allot to reach out and excuse me for my absence lately. Having bronchitis left me bed ridden for over a week and a half, but I am back and glad to see what a great year you had. Thanks Barry for the tweets and continued blog love!
Sonia recently posted..If I Could Start My Blog Over I Would……
Hi Sonia, Happy New Year my friend.
I’m sorry to hear that you had bronchitis and hope that you’re now over it completely. Were you laid up over Christmas and new year? I hope you weren’t and that you were able to enjoy the festive season.
Yes i had an excellent year last year, what with all my wins that allowed me to progress online. Now to get moving with it all and put it to good use
You’re very welcome to the sharing Sonia, great content needs to be seen by the masses and you do have some great content on your blog
I hope that you’re back to full health now mate
