A front door, not a maze
Some websites make you hunt for the point. Wake Up Now isn't one of them. It's Colin's front door to the BrainO network — the place where a visitor meets the person behind the family of sites and gets a proper look around before deciding anything.
That's the idea. A front door should be honest about what's inside, and this one is.
What a visitor finds there
Wake Up Now gathers the things Colin has made and put his name to, in one spot:
- Written Off — Colin's memoir
- Songs of the States — the music project
- The videos — watch and get a feel for the tone
- The bookshop — where the reading lives
- Out of the Box Advertising — the advertising side of things
- The $1-a-month invite — the whole system, for a dollar a month
That last one is the heart of it. One dollar a month gets a visitor into the whole system, and the network's rule is simple: nothing is auto-charged. No surprise deductions, no fine print traps. A dollar a month, plainly stated.
Who it suits
Wake Up Now suits the curious. Someone who's heard Colin's name, or stumbled onto one of the other BrainO sites, and wants to know what the fuss is about before signing up to anything.
It also suits the reader — the sort of person who'll happily start with a memoir and end up wandering through the bookshop. And it suits anyone who prefers a straight answer on price. A dollar a month is easy to understand, and nothing being auto-charged makes it easier still.
If a visitor is the type who likes to see the front of the house before stepping inside, this is the site for them.
How it fits the network
Every site in the BrainO family is part of one network, and one account carries across all of them. That's the quiet convenience of the thing. A visitor signs up once at Wake Up Now, and that same account opens the doors to the rest of the family.
So the front door isn't a dead end. It's the beginning of a wander through everything the team has built. Colin's memoir, the Songs of the States, the videos, the bookshop, Out of the Box Advertising — they're not scattered across the internet with different logins and different rules. They sit together, under one account, at a dollar a month, with nothing auto-charged.
That's a rare bit of tidiness on the internet, and the team is quietly proud of it.
Start at the front
If a visitor only clicks one link today, make it this one. Have a look at the memoir, listen to a song, browse the bookshop — and see whether the dollar-a-month invite makes sense. No pressure, no auto-charge, no nonsense.
