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.

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)

I 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

Sweet 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!

PS. I found a really great help in this eBook that I found online. –>  Antique Furniture – How to Find It and Fix It

Disclosure: If you purchase anything through a link on this website, you should assume that we have an affiliate relationship with the company providing the product or service that you purchase, and that we may be paid in some way. We recommend that you do your own independent research before purchasing anything. Of course, all the products have a 100% money back guarantee or they would not be allowed on this site…honesty and quality counts.

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!
