Hey can you do me a solid? I want to continue giving free access to my contractor secrets, free plans, and project photos and videos, but I can't do it if the gig doesn't pay.
What's the favor? I need more visitors, fame, etc. Why? I want to hire someone full time to help me produce and publish hard drives of project stories, photos, videos and information. I'm at the point where I'm working day and night for my site and the related YouTube channel. I'm recording my entire house remodel that I want to post on here, but I'm swamped with work left and right.
How can you help? First, don't help me unless I saved you at least $100 or $1,000 somehow already, I want you to benefit from me first! That shouldn't be hard, just browse the site or my YouTube channel, last year alone I got several people free car engine replacements, because of a little known secret I uncovered after getting myself a free $13,000 Lexus engine.
Just share the hell out of my site on your Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, etc. That should get me more visitors, which will increase my revenue and finally give me the opportunity to hire some help.
I wish I could hire my wife, because she's amazing, but I'd have to replace her income with additional revenue. I can't do this without you!
I love doing what I'm doing and sharing it with you, did you know that I have more Better Business Bureau Awards than most large corporations? Yep, I won them by sharing remodeling tips that only a dedicated contractor to the comunity would share. The information on here you won't find anywhere else because there's just one of me and you can do the research yourself. Even Google put me into their commercials!
Hit me up on social if you have questions of suggestions. Hell, send me "Good Job" once in awhile! Working from home is a lonely gig.
