Default SASSAFRASSARASSA!

EXCUSE Me Dien and Gordon,

*EDITORS NOTE - As you can see I've been Classically Trained to
Use BIG Words by watching Cartoons. Thus "Sassafrassarassa.")

There will be a short pause while I cut and paste
the 1st 50 pages I've put on SowPub into a folder on my computer.

THEN onto "Scrivener."

Turns out when I try to Import From each item in the Thread
the entire SowPub Page shows up in Scrivener.

No offense.

But I don't want your logo and intro and Top of Page Stuff
on the top of every chapter in my book.

So I DELETED it.

Instead will hand carry each Chapter in the thread over to a
computer folder file.

AND then Import to "Scrivener"

GOOD thing I bought "Scrivener for Dummies" because - as I suspected -
the way I write and Scrivener are NOT COMPATIBLE.

In Spite of all their Blather of "How it's flexible enough for all styles of writing."

NOT SO Kemosabe.

ONE EXAMPLE:

To Use The "Scrivener CorkBoard OR Outline Features - you have to
put all the content of your book Into the "BINDER" section first.

Which is STUPID.

I WhiteBoard (Brainstorm)

and

Outline --- FIRST - before I write a book.

Good thing I didn't throw away my Pads of Paper and Pens!

Thanks,
Glenn

Hi Glenn,

Some people love Scrivener. I played around with it a few years ago... For a big project, it could be useful!

By the way, I'm writing again using your "Greased Pig Speed Writing System"... It's a good system!

Best wishes,

Dien

P.S. Glenn, you have my permission to stick our logo and intro at the top of every page of your book if you want to!

Default WHEW - How I Successfully TIPPED a Waiter with a FLYING ELEPHANT

Thanks Dien,

I read a Scientific study About Salesmanship
on page 25 of Robert Chialdini's new book
"PRE-SUASION."

On Page 26 -

Test #1 - 33% said "Yes."

Test #2 - 99% said, "Yes" - AFTER they asked the following question.

Decided to adapt it to Tip a Waitress with something WEIRD
instead of 1.00 bills or Lotto tickets.

Namely.

A FLYING ELEPHANT that "Trumpets" when you shoot it against
the wall or SMACK it.

Page 25 - has a question better suited for women.
Results went from 27% to 77% Yes. (pretty amazing)

Page 26 - for men (33% to 99% Yes) - Wow.

Tonight I drew a guy waiter.

So.

I asked, "Do you think of yourself as Adventurous and like to try new things?

Timothy the waiter said, "YES."

So I slammed the flying elephant on the table.

And while it TRUMPETED I explained that I was TIPPING him with a
Flying Elephant because I needed someone Adventurous
to TEST it out before I sent it out to my VIP Customers.

Tim promised to shoot my FLYING ELEPHANT at some of the
guys in the kitchen.

And some of the girl waitresses.

And get back to me.

But.

Tim was really busy.

And - so far - all I saw him doing was walking up to fellow
Employees and saying, "I'll bet you can't guess what I got as a TIP tonite."

Then SLAPPING his apron
pocket where he stuck the flying elephant.

Which resulted in LOUD - Elephant Noises!

And his fellow waitresses and waiters EYES Bugging out a bit.

Thanks,
Glenn

P.S. - Any ladies with BRASS OVARIES and Men with BRASS ONES
reading this who want to Test Your SALES-Person-Ship.

And let me know what happens.

Please email me at [email protected]

Here is where I got the Flying Elephant...

Default How Fred Tipped His Waitress w/ LED Flashing Glasses

Thanks Gordon,

Got a Question for the group.

Does Amazon.com - allow you to put links at the top of your book
listed on Kindle - (The front section you can read for F-r-e-e - that refer to another product at amazon?)

As we have done below?

=========
How Fred Tipped His Waitress
w/ LED Flashing Glasses

Fred Called me up after reading my Ezine Story about tipping a waiter
with a Flying Cow.

Fred had ordered a Dozen LED Flashing Glasses
and wanted to tell me what happened.

First off Fred told me, "You can't See SH_T with the Glasses Flashing in your eyes."

I laughed and Told Fred how I'd run into a post outside a
Restaurant - in the dark - while wearing the same LED Glasses. So I knew first
hand he had that right.

But Fred put them on After he sat down at their table with his wife. And
after 5 minutes a magician came over and complimented him on his "shades."

So Fred's glasses got him a F-r-e-e 15 Minute Magic Show.

THEN - in order to See better -
Fred Put his Flashing Glasses in his shirt pocket.

BEFORE The Waitress came with the menus.
Brought drinks.

Fred then ASKED His Waitress - Grace - "Do You Think of Yourself as an
Adventurous Person? You Like to Try New Things?

And

SURPRISE.

Grace Said, "YES".

Put on a pair of FLASHING LED GLASSES.

Couldn't SEE either.

Fiddled around with them and then Grace hung them between her breasts
at the v-neck of her blouse.

Fred told me the straight line he came out with next. Fred said, "I'll bet your tips go up while wearing those."

(His wife busted out laughing.)

Fred explained he got out of that mess by proclaiming, "Ok. Laugh it up. But
we're NOT going there."

And Put His Own LED Glasses Back on so
Grace wouldn't think she was the ONLY one
walking around with FLASHING - Red, Blue, Green LED Glasses.

Glenn,

Just bought the glasses and flashing rings. Why would I do that?

Because I think the glasses will make one helluva sales piece for one of my charity events. In September I will take 4 members of the UNR boxing team to Sydney Australia to box one of the world's best known peace activist's boxing team. Hoping to make it an international peace awareness event. It is amateur (per boxing regulations) against amateur. Should be fun and rewarding.

As you might have guessed, we need to raise money to pay for the trip. If the glasses sell like I think they will we should raise a few bucks. That means we still have to raise the remaining dollars but stuff like this is almost always an easy sell.

Anyone interested in helping us become an international peace mission is eligible to help us. We will of course give due recognition and appreciation to everyone who helps.

Good post!

Default You Have a Good Nose For MUNNY

Howdy,

Smart of you to order at a 1.00 each
and re-sell for $2 or 3.

Several people at three different Restaurants have come up to me wanting to B*UY my LED glasses.

So YES you can sell them - without having to CHASE prospects.

A couple of tips...

#1 - Don't wear them outside in the dark when you are walking.

I walked into a wooden post

#2 - Photos of folks wearing the glasses with the LED's flashing come out MARVELOUS.

The red especially fills the entire pic

#3 - The low Light in a Restaurant is where people RESPOND Best.

I wore them in a Wall-Mart.

The bright Glaring light - inside at night - you can barely notice the flashing
red, blue, green lines.

Glenn
