She says it’s ’like an app’ whatever that means

so it’s 25 quid a month - where does the 3k come in then?

Thanks @user1471446301 for the clue. I needed the first letter because what I came up with was an even more unlikely last name.

i see Yawn is breaking one the cardinal rules for advertisers - fake price reduction. £25 - normally £44. If a few people were to report her to the ASA for that alone she might end up with a slapped wrist. It’s never been £44. None of her prices reflect a deal or a price reduction though they do reflect piss poor value for money.

I notice today she has posted the new app or whatever it is they just launched is now £25 down from £49....
So was it £44 or £49 or actually none of those!

Spongebobette · 01/09/2025 18:20

It’s not an app, it’s a Wordpress site I think

Building an app is outside Techie’s skill set I think 😉

YouOKHun · 01/09/2025 20:22

Perhaps the app will be an app that isn’t really an app at all, a bit like her podcasts that aren’t really podcasts at all. The idea of a podcast is that it’s a broadcast by modern means. There is no broadcasting going on with Yawn’s podcasts. If there is an app I bet it does nothing more than repeat the price reduction lie and tell people to sign up. After a flurry of enthusiasm lasting a week or so it will be consigned to the wasteland where all other launches, relaunches, initiatives and new age beliefs go to die.

@DeliaDeetz I’m not surprised Yawn is confused. I think she did start out by saying that Unlucky Club was reduced from £44 to £22 for the launch period only, but as there were no real takers it had to stay at the fictitiously reduced of £22. Who knows where the £49 comes from. Perhaps that is what she was going to charge to be a bizniz bestie, or something to do with money manifesting March, or her social media and branding course last October, or perhaps her affiliate programme and all the other non-starters in between. Perhaps it’s last month’s earnings?

Yawns FB today.... "decluttering my environment is part of my success ritual"

We've all seen the tat all over the thatch, maybe that's where it's going wrong....

I HAVE SOOOO MUCH WORK TO DO
But, today I cleaned the house instead of diving into my business to-do list
To some people (my husband included ), it looked like procrastination
But here's the truth :
I don't thrive in messy surroundings
I can't manifest huge success from a place of chaos
Decluttering my environment is part of my success ritual
When the energy in my space is clear, my mind is focused, my creativity flows, and abundance has room to arrive
So no, cleaning isn't procrastination - It's preparation for greatness

Spongebobette · 01/09/2025 21:13

Yes we had that and then the ‘I am in the gym exercising rather than working so I don’t get overwhelmed’

I think she must struggle to focus and get things done

OP posts:
SnoogyWoo · 01/09/2025 22:23

Or she doesn't have any clients so doesn't have anything to do!

They do love a launch don't they.

BSintolerant · 01/09/2025 23:56

I wonder if Yawn is decluttering the Thatch so she’ll have less tat to pack when she has to sell up and find something more manageable?

Spongebobette · 02/09/2025 17:20

When the ‘feedback’ is clearly from the ‘founders’ to each other you know things are desperate

I was listening to Radio One driving home tonight and they had a roofer on (he won a prize or something) but Jamie Lang was asking him about Thatches. He said when they get old they’re “infested with rats and all kinds”

Lucky Yawn!!

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 02/09/2025 22:00

The testimonial that Yawn has posted everywhere is her ex downline dog trainer. I suspect she might be the only one so far, all groups are very quiet.

Crikeyalmighty · 02/09/2025 23:13

She needs to be very careful - if you have an offering that has a whopping great list of get this, get this- it can be very very hard to keep it up . I know this from our industry and people who do kickstarters that are incredibly fiddly - sounds good on paper- difficult to fulfill

YouOKHun · 03/09/2025 00:12

Inner Circus daily tip: your vibe attracts your tribe

its not much of a business tip is it? What’s tomorrow’s inner circle of Hell tip? Live Laugh Love? I charge a fee but I’m on the dole so don’t take tips from me? Burgers in the shower back then but at least I had some power? My thatch is full of mice, just one client would be nice? My coaching skills are great, you should really take a punt even if you suspect I’m a bit of a silly mare.

Anyone interested in winning a stay in Debt-by-the-Sea? All you have to do is follow the property’s page, like her post and tag as many people as you can so that Uber can find some new victims.

YouOKHun · 03/09/2025 01:36

I see Sacked is pushing Super Plasters for all her worth. She has come up against protests from the Fizz page. I hope they can see Sacked for what she is now she doesn’t need their support over Mermaids/UR etc.

Techie is very very careful to limit what she’s promising - lots of caveats eg

support is ‘up to 60 minutes per month’

Note: This time does not cover redesigns or complex changes, additional time can be purchased separately.

Whereas Yawn promises support between sessions and ‘high-touch, high-level support’

which basically means she’ll put lots of make up on, do her hair and Zoom call you - and post about it first ‘just going into a meeting with a lovely lady’ and again afterwards ‘just had the most beautiful meeting and my client loved all my ideas’

You missed out “gorgeous” . It’s Yawn’s favourite adjective.

BSintolerant · 03/09/2025 11:09

You’ll find more wisdom in Viz’s Top Tips than you ever will in Guru Yawn’s inner circle of hell / ring of fire (or whatever she calls it).

Spongebobette · 03/09/2025 11:24

Apparently it’s going ‘amazingly well’

OP posts:
Crikeyalmighty · 03/09/2025 11:51

@Spongebobette well if it’s going amazingly well she will be far too busy with bizness to keep pushing it surely!

Spongebobette · 03/09/2025 11:55

Lots of time to post about how great everything is 🙄

Laughing at FL trying to glamourise their gazebo outside the Bullring trying to flog aloe and recruit in the pissing rain and howling gale. I thought they were at least having a stand inside!

Fuck/ I was in brum today. But only for couple of hours
Yesterday I could have had a right laugh with them. I was paid to walk around Birmingham. Gutted they weren’t there then.
