To Follow or Not, the Sale is Up to You

I just read an e-mail from Dr. Mani, whom I have been following for some time now.  He has some great ideas to share and he does a lot to help disadvantaged children.

 

Well, in one of his Tweets he posted an affiliate link to another person’s sales page and one of his followers said she was not on Twitter to be pitched to.  Dr Mani pointed out that there are no rules on how one Tweets and of course she has every right to un-follow him or anyone else whenever she wants.

 

Actually, from my point of view Tweeter and every social networking site as well as everything we do involves selling.  The only way to escape selling is to bury your head in the sand and what kind of life would that be.  The woman that left his Tweeter made a sale to Dr Mani.  She sold him the idea that she is not interested in anything of value.  She sold him the belief that she doesn’t want to step outside of her comfort zone and that she is more than happy to vegetate in front of a TV set and watch the reality show of other people living a life.

 

With only 140 characters to express an idea is very difficult, hence the reason for me to have written my Tweet with a “because…” at the end.  In my Blog I can say a whole lot more and hopefully come to some logical conclusion.  Yes, sometimes I do ramble.

 

From reading  other Tweets, it seems like a lot of people think others want to know that you just flushed the toilet and that now you are washing your hands (you are aren’t you?).

 

If the truth be told, people really don’t care about what you and I are doing at any particular time in our lives unless what we are doing will help them is some way.  This is where the selling comes in.  We should, in my opinion, be selling the idea that we have something to offer others and that what we have to offer will add value to their lives (and not necessarily ours).

 

Of course, I must add that you are selling yourself so at times people do want to see some of the personal you.  Maybe even something humorous that happened to you that made you look the part of the fool or lightened your day.  After all when selling yourself, people need to know that you are human to, just like them.  So make sure you wash your hands afterwards.

My Fuel Efficiency Testing Results


On Tuesday September 16th I filled my 2001 Toyota Camry’s gas tank.  I had 95,897 miles on my car.  I put in one MPG-CAP, one ounce of MPG Boost and a bottle of MPG-MAX-PRO.

 

My reasons for using one MPG-CAP and one ounce of MPG Boost:

·        The 1st tank recommends a conditioner schedule of 1.5 caps per 11-15 gallons of fuel or .75 ounces of the MPG Boost.  From what I understand, the MPG-CAPS and the MPG Boost are pretty much the same thing except the Boost is recommended to use in very cold weather as it will mix easier.  My tank is about 17 gallons hence the reason for that amount.

·        After the conditioning tank I will only use one cap as they are much easier to administer.  If you use the MPG Boost or any other liquid that goes into the gas tank, I would recommend a funnel and to do it at home, before getting your tank filled.

 

Because my car has over 95,000 miles I also used the MPG-MAX-Pro to clean my fuel system.  With vehicles under 20,000 miles this may not be needed.  It’s your choice.

 

I also did not add the MPG-EXTreme product because I have been using a special synthetic oil since I bought my car new.  I am supposed to get 100,000 miles from this oil, by only changing filters every 10,000 miles and topping up the oil when it shows a quart low.  On my next oil change I will replace the oil and filter and at that time add the MPG-EXTreme product.

 

My reasons for purchasing these products are two-fold.  I have always been interested in ways to improve engine efficiency and therefore get more mpg.  Over the years I have read a lot of manuals and reports on how to get over 200 mpg, etc.  I have purchased plans and partial kits to build systems to help vaporize the fuel.  After all, it is not the fuel that is burned, rather the fuel vapors.  So the more you can vaporize the fuel the more mpg you will gain.

 

Recently auto makers have come out with catalytic converters for the exhaust systems to help reduce the harmful emissions.  You would have thought they would have come with a catalytic converter that would work before the fuel reached the pistons, but that would not be good for the oil industry.

 

Well, several companies have come up with a catalyst that works in the cylinder causing the fuel to burn more efficiently.  In fact these catalysts have been around for over 20 years.  They just haven’t been actively marketed in the USA because we have had, in the past, very low fuel prices.

 

Now that our fuel prices have gone over $3/gal it has become cost effective to take action, which many wise people are doing.  After all, if you could spend an extra $2.60 retail for a tank of gas (15 gallons) and get back $4.50 or more, wouldn’t you pop pills in your tank also?  You bet you would, especially when you are also reducing harmful emissions by 75%, and extending the life of your engine (translated to mean less maintenance cost).

 

For those who want to have their own home-based business and reap the benefits of

·        Buying wholesale,

·        Qualifying for special tax deductions,

·        Having the potential to make a few hundred dollars extra each month;

 

then this option is available also.  If this doesn’t interest you then please send your friends and family to my website and I will take care of them for you.

 

Simply send them to http://YouCanSavePlanetEarth.com and let me know that you sent them and I will send you a Thank You Gift to show my appreciation.
