Recently I have had a dozen requests to become a fan of certain window cleaners, half I have never heard of on Facebook.

"What is this all about, Why be a fan ?

What benefit is there ?

Nothing winds me up more then people asking me to help them build there farm , or gangster war club,sending quiz requests or even sending horoscopes.

Now with window cleaners asking me to become a fan, has the world finally gone bonkers, or am I missing the point ?"

Dave

Hmmmmm ::)

I now have jobs in the 4 corners of the Uk, with loads of stuff in between, i would think that is now national.

 S

Whats that supposed to mean ?

It means what It means, there are more ways of making money, than cleaning it all yourself,

whats up anyway ? are you pitching for an argue ?


Actual.


Benefit to you being a fan ?  You get to keep a close eye on my business, you might even get the odd tip, that might not be posted on a forum

Whats in it for me, I dont know really, but I do know there will be a mutual benefit in there one day.

2. His head is big enough without encouragement

3. Personally, I'd rather stick pins in my own eyes than become a fan. ;)

Happy days as I'll probably be banned now. ;D

I'm using Facebook as well as other advertising. Facebook wouldn't interest me normally but a custy suggested I try it out for advertising in the areas we work. She opened it up for me and we learned how it all works. Saw the potential after a few days and to be honest, the work we have got off it over the winter saved us alot of hassle with the bank.

It can be a very effective advertising tool if used to max effect. AND IT'S FREE  :)

Dave you're the one with the problem. If you have a problem with me that's down to you. I have never had a cross word with you. To me and its my opinion you're full of hot air... work here work there who wants it? I saw you at the show back in march promoting your self and rightly so, two day's later your telling how many contracts you got at the show bigging your self right up.Less than a week later, Oh I'm thinking of subbing it all out? That's why i said you change your mind like the weather. I now understand why people on three forums think your an idiot.

Help me build my farm   ;D

Steve

theres always someone who tries to knock you down hey, but thats life  ;D

Not getting into an arguement, lifes too short, take a chill pill.

I am an idiot and proud of it, a clever idiot though, yes I was seriously thinking of subbing it all out, had enough of staff problems etc, I was having a bad day.



I currently sub out about a third of my work, look forward to the day when it is about 75% , just by subbing out doesnt mean I cant't grow my business.

I didnt jump down your throat, maybe i should use more smileys, it looked like you were up for a confrontation, the way you came into my post, maybe i was wrong.

1. Don't even think about questioning Mr. Morris, he don't like it one bit.          I Love it   ;D

2. His head is big enough without encouragement                                           Very True  Takes lots of hard work getting a big head
3. Personally, I'd rather stick pins in my own eyes than become a fan. ;)      Ditto

Happy days as I'll probably be banned now. ;D                 Never   WHY you say that ?

Never said I was going to, just toying with ideas, would love to do it, if i ever hit a Million, I would produce something, without that level of turnover, i dont think you would ever have the clout to sell the volume needed.


I bought a window cleaning ebook, paid my £10.00 and recieved 20 pages of the most obvious rubbish advice ever.

The book stated to knock either side of where you were working and ask your custys for reccommendations, stating the obvious dont you think, but to say window cleanings dirtiest secrets exposed was to say the least very misleading.

I have spent about £200 over the years on all sorts of dvd's E-books, web clubs, although i must say Steve Pavis's wasnt too bad, if you had to buy something. Johnny clean windows wasnt too bad either, although that one was free

It is all there for the taking if someone could give something of real substance, i mean hard and fast advice on how to grow by £100k a year, how to win that contract, how to get that huge building you drive past every morning etc.

then you would have a winner

No, was only trying to say that Facebook can be a great earning tool if used for that reason. The reason I quoted you was because you seem to have misread or misunderstood actual, and thought he was having a pop at you. That's why things get deleted.

I'll type this really slow lol. The point was, you asking people to become a fan on your Facebook site, I said  Facebook was a powerfull tool for advertising, if used well. Actualcleaning pointed out that about 10 weeks ago, you posted about why people ask others to join their FB site and how you couldn't see the point. What part of this topic (That will be deleted later no doubt) don't you understand, and why do you feel attacked?

You don't seem very calm Dave.

OK, back on track  ;D If you know that G R Cleanings FB site is the way forward, then I'm not sure what the point of you asking fellow window cleaners to become fans of yours while you could better use the site to increase your income. Hows that?

I am asking fellow window cleaners, so I can build a good network, my idea and model is different than GR's.

I have some good ideas, I have gained off cleanitup off fellow posters, and some gain off me, My facebook is for the good of all window cleaners.


, a local window cleaner got offered a big contract, couldnt handle it so passed it my way.

There is a method in my madness.

Didnt come across well, I was trying to bribe people to become a fan lol

I am always happy to help out anyone, no matter what the circumstances.

I am always looking for advice and tips and in return, I always help out fellow window cleaners.


I used to drive past a huge building for 10 years before I actual got to clean it, although I knew I would clean it one day
