SowPub UPDATES and 20 years later.

[Glenn]

Thanks Gordon,

Over the years of Interviewing self made M*illionaires and a few B*illionaires
I have observed ALL of them have Hobbies.

But with a Twist.

M*illionaires Have A Hobby That Is Profitable.

Self Made B*illionaires have Multiple ***Hi-Profit*** Hobbies.

One of my HOBBIES Has Introduced me to 3 "Neighbors" in 1999 and 2020.

I - A sister and brother who own 2 Restaurants, a Parking Garage
and Flip Houses.

II - An Apartment Complex Owner - who owns 52 Antique Cars.

And

III - A Man who Owns 22 Houses in Oregon, California, Ohio and Maryland.

JUST This Week
I got an Email from
a Lady who has Bought
a 500,000.00 House and Land - 5 miles away from me.

Pam is spending Moolah like a Drunken Sailor.

While I was There Looking at a Huge Maple Tree She had-Had cut down. TWO
CONTRACTORS WERE THERE too. She is Putting in new Fuel Oil Tanks.

SHE P*AID to have the stump ground up! (Even in her back yard. Us Country
Folks would NEVER do that.)

AS We All Know.

People who just BOUGHT A House - Are Ideal Prospects for all kinds of Businesses!

SO.

WHY DID PAM Email me (A Total Stranger) out of the Blue?

She Saw These Words on the Nextdoor.com - Neighborhood Bulletin Board or Forum.

MESSAGE ON NEIGHBORHOOD Billboard or FORUM -

“Looking for help cutting up a fallen tree. Will pay $100”

MY REPLY -

“Thanks Dan, I am only 2 miles from Sparks. If you need someone to do ax work. Or split up the tree log for firewood. That I can help you with. No charge. Neighbor to neighbor. Glenn //email me if You need a *farmboy* - with experience- who cuts and splits wood to heat my house. ([email protected] )

(EDITORS NOTE - I am Planning on Posting These 4 Pages at my F-r-e-e Ezine Archive. AS A PROVEN Resource. FOR Guys and Gals who want Extra C*ash. AND FOR Affluent Subscribers who want to Meet R*ICH NEIGHBORS.) THUS there is a Headline. And a Salutation. And Body Copy. What you SEE BELOW - will not read like a casual EMAIL.)

“How To Get P*AID By Affluent Neighbors
While You Practice Your NLP Rapport Skills.”

“A Mouse-Click-Easy Home-Based-Method to Get P*AID For Helping Your Affluent Neighbors.”

Dear Friend,

Thanks for Joining me For a NEW NLP Test.

And a Proven Way to Make Extra Moolah - Mouse-Clicking-From-Home.

The 3 Ways I Have Made Extra Moolah SO FAR:

WAY I - I have Hooked Up a Plumber, HVAC & Landscaper with Home Owners Looking for Bids. Got P*aid a Referral Fee.

WAY II - I have found Elderly (Or Busy) Neighbors Who Would Rather P*ay Someone Else to do Yard Work. And Given The Gig to a Do-it-Yourselfer.”

WAY III - I Have Emailed Neighbors within 10 miles of me an offer to DO Their Project For F*ree. AND Every Time - Gotten P*AID to do some more Little Home & Lawn Projects.

A
SIDE
EFFECT of WAY III - Is Total Strangers on The Neighborhood Forum Are Emailing me!

FOR EXAMPLE:

When I did a 100.00 Job for F-r-e-e.

I got an Email from a Lady GIVING me 1000.00 worth of wood. All I have to do is Split it and Haul it away. (Which I already do at my House.)

I Cut and Pasted The Emails that Went Back And Forth BELOW.

So You Can Practice The Golden Rule too.

AND Collect More GOLD.

From PEOPLE WHO LIKE and TRUST You.

Folks who P*A*Y YOU!

All Starting with The Piddly Little Jobs I do F*ree.

GOLDEN RULE OF RECIPROCITY - F*R*E*E - Allows Me to Meet AFFLUENT Neighbors who have Much Bigger and More Expensive Wants and Needs - PILED UP.

Just waiting for Someone They TRUST.

#4 - Then Emailed Her When I got Back Home.

“Thanks Cynthia,
50 Degrees today.* Yippee.
I called you.* Left a message.* Then drove over.* I asked a neighbor to find you.
No # on your house.
There are 3 pine trees down.
I trimmed and cut up the one closest to your down hill neighbor..
Did not quite finish.
Not sure you wanted it all in the corner brush pile.* AND IT WON'T FIT, EITHER.
Thanks,
Glenn

SURPRISE RESULTS - (From Pam, a Total Stranger)

THE NEXT DAY I get this Email from Pam who Spotted My Message on The Neighborhood Forum…

“I just had a large tree taken down and cut into sections. If you want to come turn it into firewood you can have almost all of it...just leave a small pile of firewood for me? Is that worth your efforts? (If it isn’t then I apologize for not knowing better)”

MY ANSWER - (Subject Line - —Tree firewood— glenn)

“Thanks Pam,

“Where do you live?

“How do you know I split lots of wood to heat my house?
