Default Fly Low and Get YOUR Dough... on KINDLE.

Hey Phil,

You wiretapping me? Cuz,

My NEW version, Fly Low Collect YOUR
Dough is one of my new KINDLE titles.

I no longer own most of the work I've done in the past...excepting SQ1 and New stuff.

But things have changed and ARE changing as we rush headlong into a Cashless society. Coming soon. Thank god for bitcoins, eh?

Not sure if Kindle is the answer for me, however, worth a try...and NEW updated information in a more condensed and less Gordon format, seems to be one way for me to go.

Thanks for the reminder.

Gordon

Default Re: Cemetery $$$

This is interesting. My son has a degree and has had a hard time getting a job in the financial industry.

How much do you think people would pay for this? $45.00?

It would be easy enough to put up a simple website and have a couple of upsells, such as regular flower delivery, periodic cleaning (like a maintenance contract)

This is good stuff.

I spoke (wrote?) way too soon.

Looking at some of those large headstones would require a lot of work, especially if you were to not only clean them but use a sealant of some type to keep them looking good.

Could be a couple hundred $$$$ per stone for the big ones. The gigantic monuments would be even more.

Hmmmmm......

Default Re: Cemetery $$$

Hi Djam,


I have found out that the smaller stones can go from $65.00 - $85.00 to clean. The larger ones anywhere from $175.00 - $250.00, since some can be really large monumnets. I've decided to concentrate only on Granite and Marble stones. The Limestone are old and can be easily damaged, so, no can do.

I have decided to also offer Graveside Maitenence (cleaning around the stones and flower/ornament delivery. We'll see how it goes and I'll post here to let people know.

If your interested in headstone cleaning just google Kendrick Lester Headstone Cleaning Guide. He's a young man in Idaho that has this down to a science and has shared his experiences.

All the best,

Rick
