The front door to the network
Every network needs a place to start. For BrainO, that place is Wake Up Now. It's Colin's own corner of the internet — a front door that opens into the wider family of sites.
What you'll find inside
Wake Up Now gathers Colin's work in one spot:
- Written Off — his memoir, told straight.
- Songs of the States — a musical run through the country.
- Videos — Colin talking, sharing, explaining.
- The bookshop — where the reading lives.
- Out of the Box Advertising — a practical way to get the word out.
And then there's the invite: a dollar a month for the whole system. One dollar. That's the lot — every site in the BrainO network, all the tools and content, carried on a single account.
Who it suits
Wake Up Now is for anyone who wants to know what BrainO is about without a hard sell. If you've ever felt written off — by a boss, a bank, a bad year — Colin's story will ring true. If you like music with a bit of geography, Songs of the States is for you. If you run a small business and need advertising that doesn't cost the earth, Out of the Box is worth a look.
Most of all, it suits people who are curious. The ones who'd rather dip a toe than dive in. A dollar a month is a soft way to see if the network fits.
How it fits the network
BrainO isn't one big thing. It's a collection of sites, each with its own flavour, all connected. Wake Up Now is the human face of that collection — Colin's face, his voice, his story. From here, you can wander into the other sites, and your one account travels with you.
There's no lock-in. Nothing is auto-charged. You pay a dollar a month because you want to, not because you forgot to cancel. That's the deal, and it's kept simple on purpose.
No hype, just a look
Colin's not one for grand claims. Wake Up Now doesn't shout. It just opens the door and lets you have a look around. The memoir, the songs, the videos, the bookshop, the advertising help — they're all there, waiting.
If you're the sort who likes to see for yourself, start at the front door. Have a wander through Wake Up Now, and see where it leads.
