Green Building Principles & Practices in Residential Construction

January 2nd, 2012 · Building Green

This brand new book, Green Building Principles and Practices in Residential Construction really piqued my interest.  As a former Certified Building Official, Building Inspector, and Plan Reviewer with the State of Michigan, anything to do with “green” building principles and construction practices draws me like a magnet.

Green building practices should be and are becoming part of the building codes as they are updated.  This may be somewhat of a perceived hardship at first, but it will pay off in energy savings and a healthier living environment in the end.

Green Building: Principles and Practices in Residential Construction

This will become the standard for residential "green" construction practices as soon as it becomes more available, consumed by architects, designers, municipal engineers, and eevn brought into classrooms for educational purposes. It's that good.

It is not the same old re-hashed content that you see in so many books on the market. This is fresh, smart and detailed to the point that it is hard to put down. You will return to this book over and over for years to come.

I hesitated at the $100 price tag, but once you feel the heft of this quality book and read the content, you'll know it was worth the small investment. You may just feel like that young college grad leaving with his architecture degree and ready to implement some of the knowledge learn in Green Building: Principles and Practices in Residential Construction. Don't delay, get it today!

Support the environment and educate yourself on sustainable design and construction.  Learn about cutting edge energy saving products.  Enhance your healthy and lifestyle.

Make Money Online- No Boss – Affiliate Marketing Secrets

November 27th, 2011 · make money online

One of the easiest and fastest way to make money online in through affiliate marketing. This is when you send visitors to someone else's product sales page, they make the sale and deliver the product, and you get a percentage of the sale price as you commission (usually 50% or more for digital products).

The benefits of this are:

  1. You can get started almost immediately because you don’t have to create a product, write the sales page, design the website, develop marketing materials, or set up the ordering, billing & delivery system.
  2. You have almost no investment of time because you don’t have to do the customer support or deal with billing or technical issues.
  3. You have nearly zero risk because you already know the product sells. So if you send visitors you will get paid.

Looking at these benefits, it’s clear that affiliate marketing is the way to go!

The downside is…

After all your hard work of generating traffic to the sales page, you will never see any of those visitors again. Most of them will not buy on their first visit, which means you’re losing over 90% of the traffic right off the top. And of the 10% or less that do buy, the product owner will be able to sell to them again, but you will not.

What’s the solution?

Simply put, you need to capture the name and email of your visitors *before* sending them to the product sales page. This way you can follow up with them and keep sending them back to the sales page to increase your chances of making the sale. And if you’re really on top of your game, you’ll then send to a pre-sales page in between.

Here’s what these affiliate marketing strategies will do for you:

  1. You’ll be building your own list of potential customers that you can market to again and again.
  2. You’ll be pre-selling them by providing valuable information and then casually linking to the product sales page in the context of this information.

In order to set a system like this up, you will need the following affiliate marketing tools:

  1. A Video Squeeze Page (with video)
  2. One or more content-rich Pre-Selling Pages
  3. At least a 5-Part Email Followup Series

The video squeeze page is where you’ll direct your traffic instead of directly to the product sales page. It captures the name and email of your visitors and puts them into your autoresponder, which then begins sending out the 5-part email series. Then it redirects them to your pre-selling pages after they subscribe to your email series.

All of this together increases your chances of making the sale by up to 500% so it’s well worth the effort of setting it up. And once it’s set up, it runs automatically – you just keep sending visitors to the squeeze page.

If you don’t have the time or expertise to set it all up yourself, you can use something like Affiliate Silver Bullet. Services like this design the enter system (the video, the video squeeze page, the email series, the content pages, etc). The benefit is that it’s much less expensive then you could do it yourself, and it’s instantly set up. The downside is that other people will be using the same affiliate tools as you. But the internet is pretty big, so this isn’t much of a concern.

The other route you can take is to hire people on Elance to create and implement the various aspects for you. Either way, it’s an important step that you need to take if you’re going to be serious about your business.  I have done both.  Both work.

So if you are looking for “push a button, become a millionaire overnight” this is not it. You actually have to do something.  It’s easy, instructions are provided, and once you see that first sale, you’ll be so darn excited, you won’t be able to sleep that night!

Give it a shot, it’s guaranteed,  or I wouldn’t have anything to do with it.  Have fun. (this what I am doing)

Thomas Fouts, Author of The BetesBuster Plan. So Cool

November 21st, 2011 · diet plan for diabetics

I, Thomas Fouts, wrote The BetesBuster Plan a couple years ago and people are still receiving incredible results from this simple eBook.  It is such a great feeling to know I took the time (and it took a long time) to do the research, the interviews, and all the experimenting, and came up with a successful “plan”.  It was my first endeavor to write a book, which is surprising seeing how I got kicked out of English class so much!

The best type 2 diabetes diet bookI am working on an update and some supplemental information to send out to those that already bought the book, and include it with all future purchases when finished.  SO if you want to check out “The BetesBuster Plan” now, you will automatically get the updates when ready at no charge.

When I finally decided the plan was complete, I weighed myself and started my concept of what I thought would reverse my type 2 diabetes diagnosis.  I stuck to it, I mean really stuck to it, for 45 days.  I went to be checked again.  I had lost 31 pounds, felt the best I had felt in 15 years, and was completely out of the type 2 diabetic numbers, even the “pre-diabetic” numbers!

I must say, the new-found energy was incredible.  A new man.  In fact, my wife said it was like getting the young man she married back!  She had a difficult time adjusting to my boundless joy and happiness, and some other benefits, if you know what I mean. (oh yeah!)

So just wanted to know if there are any questions you might have that I could answer about my book, type 2 diabetes diet, or just a question in general.  Put it in the comment section and I’ll try to answer as soon as I can.

Thanks again,

Thomas

South Haven Antiques, Another New Venture. Booth 21

November 1st, 2011 · South Haven Antiques

I mentioned before that I started a new venture – South Haven Antiques, located in Sweet Pickins Antique Mall, Booth 21.

Sweet Pickins Antique MallSweet Pickins and Booth 21

I just kind of fell into this venture.  I have always collected “stuff” all my life.  Lucky I have a big barn.  I happened upon a antique furniture sale on a backroad one day.  Bought 3 van loads of furniture!  Didn’t know exactly what to do with it, I just knew it was a HUGE bargain!

I paid $5 and $10 per piece and got, antique dressers w/mirror, antique desks, antique tables, antique commode, antique radio, duck decoys (bakers dozen) antique pictures w/frames, and several more items.  All worth at least 10-20 times what I paid for them.

So, my wife paid for my first months booth rent at Sweet Pickins Antique Mall for our anniversary.  The first month I did very well.  My philosophy is to give that warm fuzzy feeling of getting an exceptional bargain.  I mean I experienced it buying the stuff, so why not pass it on and make a little coin to boot?

Anyway, I have been having a ball setting up my booth, cleaning antiques, sourcing antiques, and always keeping my eye out for a bargain.

Come visit Booth 21 at Sweet Pickins, located between South Haven and Bangor on M-43 hwy in the beautiful state of Michigan!

Murfs Turf X 25 – A Great New Read on Kindle

September 14th, 2011 · Murfs Turf X 25

A friend of mine wrote Murfs Turf X 25, a great read about his growing up years. (do we ever stop growing up?)

We are close to the same age, grew up in the same neck of the woods, and had similar up bringings.  So it was not hard for me to identify with these stories.  I could place myself in just about all of them and even imagined myself doing that.  Weird that something written by someone you didn’t even know until later in life could transport you right back to your childhood with a written word.

Anyway, check it out.  It’s a Kindle book and only $4.99 for a whole lot of entertainment.  Murfs Turf X 25 is just a click away!

Going Organic Soon…

September 1st, 2011 · Going organic

Thomas going organic?  Well I am starting out slow but hopefully will be speeding towards lots of organic foods, clothes, and then…

I know there is a really cool Mother Earth News Fair coming up in Seven Springs, PA later this month.  I would really like to go to that to pick up some pointers and learn about all kinds of environmentally favorable things.  Some great speakers will be there.

One place I did find online…

Organic Crib Mattresses & Baby Bedding Store

I did not even think about how important it is to start a baby out organically, when it is so fragile to begin with.  Why wouldn’t you want your baby to have the best?

Hey, we took our dog Kash out swimming again.

Kash, the Collie Mix dog loves waterBorder Collie-Aussie Mix

Oh by the way, do you have a problem with stinkbugs?  I did.  Have you ever laid your head on your pillow after a grueling day just wanting to sleep and all of a sudden your nose wrinkles up and what the ….?  A stinkbug on your pillow!  And now you have to change the pillowcase.  Well after the exterminator treatment didn’t work I found an awesome stinkbug solution and got rid of the stinkbugs for good.  You can look it up here or just click on the link (http://stinkbuggone.com) and you to can discover the stinkbug solution.

Just a friendly post to kind of keep you updated on life.

August 22nd, 2011 · Eben Pagan, Guru Masterclass

My Guru Masterclass BONUS for Eben Pagan‘s new product is a physical product you can hold in your hands.  A brand new Kindle 3G!

How cool is that?  You might receive other offers from other marketers for digital download products that you know will sit on your hard drive collecting digital dust.

Slim and lightweight - only 8.7 ounces

Amazon Kindle 3G

I will also throw in a really nice 2 year extra warranty on your Kindle – a $44.99 value.

2-Year Extended Warranty for Kindle (6" Display, Free 3G + Wi-Fi, Latest Generation), U.S. customers only

So how cool is that?

Of course the real winner is YOU for buying Eben Pagan’s Guru Masterclass through my link.

http://www.thomasfouts.com/gmc

Eben has been my mentor for a number of years now and I have found he delivers the best quality material, education, and straight to the point information that you can actually use to create a totally new lifestyle, that is above and beyond your wildest dreams.

So get ready to rock!  You will not be disappointed with what you will receive and learn from Eben’s Guru Masterclass.  It is the best of the best and all the details, step-by-step instructions, a blueprint for success, all combined into one super Masterclass.

Eben Pagan is know for his money back guarantee.  He is the most honest “guru” I know in that regard.  If it is not everything you thought it would be, let him know and you will get every cent back.  This is just for your personal comfort as Eben is also know for way over delivering.

So don’t delay, order through my LINK and get going on Guru Masterclass.  Once you have purchased through my link, send me the information/receipt, to knifearooni@gmail.com, and when you have made it past the “money back guarantee” time and I am credited with the sale, I will send you your Kindle 3G with the extra 2 Year Warranty package.  I am sure you can understand why I have to wait for this period of time, as we all want to be happy and satisfied.

If you refund Guru Masterclass, of course you will not receive a new Kindle 3G from me.  As this is an affiliate offer, I may receive compensation from Eben Pagan or his affiliate offer company for turning you on to his amazing products.  I will make some sort of financial gain, while not increasing the cost to you – plus you will be farther ahead by claiming my Kindle 3G bonus offer.  So if you purchase directly from Eben, you will not receive a Kindle 3G.  But if you purchase by clicking on my link in this website, and I am credited with the sale, you will receive a Kindle 3G from me providing you do not cancel and refund your Guru Masterclass purchase.

So now, here’s the rest of the story:

Would you believe that there’s a guy who has made
himself billions selling information and education…
that you’ve probably NEVER heard of?

Go watch this free video to see how he did it (and how
you can ride the same trend that he’s riding to create
income for yourself):

http://www.thomasfouts.com/gmc

You’ll also learn a time when money can NEVER be
made – and how to make sure you avoid the mistake
of trying when it’s literally impossible.

As you’ve probably seen, most of the big money that’s
being made online right now by “regular people” who
are working from home in the “Information Products” and
coaching business.

In this video, you’ll learn why this is, how the trends are
changing, and what to do NOW so you can capitalize
on what’s coming (and why home-based businesses
have a higher chance of success than businesses that
are NOT run from home).

You’ll also learn why so many more people are heading
for tough financial times because they aren’t creating
their own online “Information Businesses.”

This video is taught by a guy who has sold a hundred
MILLION dollars worth of Information Products, by they
way.

Here’s the link again, watch this video NOW if you want
to take full financial advantage of this little-known
information:

http://www.thomasfouts.com/gmc

This video will only be online for another couple of days,
so watch it right now.

Buy Now and Enjoy,

Thomas

August 14th, 2011 · Digital Marketer, Eben Pagan

Digital Marketing is Eben Pagan’s NEW course on how
to start your own information marketing business.

You really, really need to watch this awesome free video!

If you’d like the best free education you can possibly
get on how to target highly-profitable “Information
Product,” Advice and Coaching niches online, then go

http://www.thomasfouts.com/digimation

You’ll learn a powerful system for identifying and
targeting WINNING “information” niches – that have

money… into the future.

You’ll also get a powerful set of exercises to

FINALLY (and maybe the most valuable part), there’s
a 25-page special report called:

“The Niche Intelligence Report” – which details 29
proven money-making online Information niches
that are PROVEN.

This report not only teaches you the “Secret
Psychology” of how to target a niche that will work
online – it also GIVES YOU the niches that are
