I was once techno-phobic and hated computers!
(Says Peggy Melmoth; e-course author).
When I was an unemployed art graduate living in London, I did a quick course in computers and admin and began working as a secretary. My boyfriend was a composer, writing dance music in his basement, and I became fascinated with his recording software, synthesisers and samplers.
So I wrote to every recording studio in North London until one of them gave me a job!
I managed the office, accounts and studio bookings for six years, and made cups of tea for the rich and famous. I was also able to pick up the basics of sound recording and music technology.
Using studio 'down-time' and working with professional recording engineers I recorded my own songs, spoken word and a poetry radio programme. I then retrained as a clinical hypnotherapist and for eight years in my private practice in London I would regularly make professional hypnosis recordings for my clients, using a laptop and a simple microphone.
Since then technology has come on in leaps and bounds and now anyone can make a quality sound recording at home, using free recording software!
“Before I was halfway through the course I had created and sold some meditations: The Gratitude Bundle was my first passive income product and included an e-book with some bonus meditations. They have been really well received. I have now created three more meditations which are bonuses as part of my e-course Crystal Essences Rock.
I have really enjoyed Peggy’s informative, relaxing, encouraging, easily understandable, fun teaching style. I was a total dummy on how to do any recordings and I also get overwhelmed with technical stuff, and here I am I have created quality meditations that capture so exactly what I want to share with others due to ‘Monetise Your MP3’s’ course, I can’t thank Peggy enough!”

"Thank goodness I came across Peggy when I wanted to put out meditation journeys for my clients, groups, and brand intentions. I felt super intimidated by the sea of audio info out there and was resistant because it felt like yet another techy headache in the making plus a time sucker, and not something I could pay someone else to do since I truly am ‘the voice’ of my products.
I jumped on Peggy’s offer to go step by step through learning the ropes for creating the MP3’s I envisioned. Her class broke everything down in sound bites I could handle and build upon. With Peggy’s deep knowledge of Audacity and all things audio plus her sweet and wonderfully zany personality I learnt what I needed to put out 10+ meditations over the last year and soon will be launching a new 21 day meditation journey product.
Like I said, thank goodness our paths crossed as she saved me hours and hours of head scratching and helped me be even more of the spiritual creative and Soul Translator that I am. Thank you Peggy!"
