“How to make a small fortune from your own backyard, or small acreage whether you own it or rent it.”
By Darryl J Jones.
Managing Director of Vital Earth International
“How can I make a statement like the above with no exaggeration? Easily! I have done it myself, AND, trained many hundreds of others to do the same.”
If you are like most people you are probably always looking for ways to make ends meet. Maybe you’re looking for something that will be your own and no longer be an employee in a place where you are taken for granted and discarded for those who are younger. Many people find this out to their horror everyday. No longer are jobs and skills for life. This modern world is a place where jobs become obsolete instantly.
But did you ever consider that your own backyard, or small acreage can provide you a real income for minimal outlay and in a rapidly increasing industry? Do I now have your attention?
I have achieved this and can show you how you too can duplicate exactly the same thing. In YOUR backyard. Even if you only rent it.
Why am I qualified to write the above?
In 1990 I had a ten year old manufacturing business based in Australia. We were making high quality water purifiers for the world….shipped a lot of our product to the Middle East – Kuwait was our distribution point into Saudi Arabia, U.A.E. Bahrain, Oman and Qatar. We even sold into Iraq.

Helen McDole, from Nashville, Tennessee, was at a garage sale one Friday morning recently when a national package delivery truck backed into her car and drove off.
She contacted the company and they gave her the run-around and wouldn’t take her seriously. They even told her that since the only witness she had was a relative, she didn’t have a case. Bottom line: They refused to pay for the damages.
She paid a fee of about $ 50 and filed a small claims court case asking for the amount of the damages to her car and for the court costs. This took her about 45 minutes total (including driving to her local county court house and back.)
A week later she got a call from the company’s attorney asking her if she would drop the case if they would send her a check for the damages and her filing fee. Three days later she received her check. She never had to go to court.
She got her money because she knew how to go to small claims court.
That’s the way most small claims court cases go. Most of them are settled out of court. Women who know how to file a small claims court case in the first place get their money.
There is an old saying that goes like this, “When a person with money meets a person with experience, the person with the experience leaves with the money and the person with the money leaves with experience.”
If you have the experience and knowledge of how to go to small claims court, you can leave with the money (the money the other person owes you). The person who has the money (the money he owes you) will leave with experience — the experience of knowing not to mess with you again.
Laine Berg, from Hilton Head Island, SC said, “Learn to use the small claims court system and no one will ever be able to take advantage of you again.”
Whether it’s a business problem or a personal dispute about money, more and more women are learning to use the small claims court system to resolve their disputes.
Men are starting to use small claims courts, too. But in general, women want closure and men tend to let things drag out unresolved. Men are more likely to consider things like the costs of hiring an attorney and then decide to forget about the whole matter.
A lot of people don’t realize that.
No attorney is required in small claims court and most people don’t use an attorney.
Most experts even agree that it’s actually easier to win in small claims court without an attorney.
The amount you can sue for in small claims court varies from $ 1,500 up to $ 25,000 or more depending on the state laws where you live. (To see a complete list of how much you can sue for in each state, go to http://www.small-claims-court.org/staterules.htm)
Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) April 3, 2006
Thaddeus Jones (TJ), a seasoned Network Engineering and Information Technology Project Manager, was recently fired from his job at the Pentagon and his Top Secret Clearance stripped because someone stole his identity and was convicted of three felonies. The felonies were for drug trafficking, distribution, and possession. Apparently, the person who stole his identity was arrested and charged with these felonies in Richmond, VA in 2004 but the charges were later dismissed. The imposter had no picture identification and law enforcement authorities never attempted to trace his fingerprints to confirm who he said he was.
Now, one may say what’s the big deal? Just prove that you weren’t the person who they arrested and everything should be okay. That’s easier said than done. There is a long drawn out legal process to follow to right the wrong that has been done. Not only is the process very extensive, it is also expensive if you want to get it done the right way. Besides, the damage has already been done and now TJ has to deal with the reciprocal effects.
His reputation and career has been damaged. Not only did he lose a job paying over $ 125k per year, he is now in jeopardy of losing his home, car, and life savings. And, because he now has a criminal record, he cannot find adequate employment until he clears the mess up.
Before the fraud was uncovered, TJ was planning to marry and return home to a house he built in Raleigh, NC. For two years, he desperately sought employment in North Carolina in his field. He would always beat out the other candidates and make it to the last interview. In some cases, jobs were offered to him only to be rescinded later for unknown or unspecified reasons. His suspicions led him to believe that his inability to find work in North Carolina was racially motivated; however, he now knows the real reason.
Not being able to find a job in North Carolina, he was forced to travel back and forth to Arizona, Washington, DC, and Columbia, SC. Anywhere he could find work. However, unfortunately for him, every time the results of the background check came back, he was released. This caused him to fall into a state of deep depression.
I attempted to find him work at my company and he was on the verge of being hired, but because of the nature of the industry that I work in, background checks are conducted prior to employment. After he was rejected for employment at my company, I started to get strange looks from my management team as well as my peers. The conversations changed and my integrity was questioned. Now I know why.
A mutual friend of ours recently got TJ a job with his company. Actually, this is how and when the stolen identity case was uncovered. Rather than releasing him, the Human Resources department informed him of the results from the background check and gave him one week to clear it up. Now our mutual friend has to deal with the same stares and integrity questions from his colleagues that I was faced with.
A man’s life has not only been ruined by a criminal with obviously nothing to lose, but it has also been ruined by a law enforcement and judicial system that failed to initiate due diligence by not confirming one’s identity before charging them with a felony crime. There has to be some legislation in place to force law enforcement agencies to confirm identity of suspects prior to officially charging them with a crime. This will prevent this from happening to anyone else. If not, then there need to be.
With limited resources and no legal representation, TJ is now struggling to repair the damage that was caused, but his time is running out before he becomes homeless and penniless.

Vanity phone numbers, like 1-800-NEW-CARS, are proven to pull more responses and generate more leads when used in advertising. In fact, many business owners experience at least a thirty percent increase in ad response, and some are doubling, even tripling their responses. They attribute success like this to using a vanity phone number in all forms of advertising, like broadcast, print and outdoor.
Just ask Ron Henson, General Manager of an auto dealership in Utah. Ron increased his call volume 650%, which enabled his sales team to move more units off the lot. He compares the number of units sold in November 2005 to previous years and attributes the up tick to more phone-ups coming into his dealership. Ron says, “We are shattering previous sales records by 50% and I attribute this success to our new advertising, which prominently features a vanity 800 number.”
Follow the advice below to make sure you use a vanity 800 number as effectively as possible to maximize the power of your advertising budget, increase lead generation and get results like Ron.
1. Lather, Rinse n’ Repeat. We all read the back of shampoo bottles and laugh at the obvious instructions to “lather, rinse and repeat.” But, this is great advice when you think of it in other contexts, ones that may not be so obvious. For example, make sure you feature a vanity phone number in all advertising. And, when you are using your vanity number in broadcast (TV and radio) be sure to repeat the number at least three times – once in the beginning, in the middle, and as the last bit of information to finish off the commercial.
For example:
“Call 800-NEW-CARS today for more information on in stock new and used vehicles. We have hundreds of affordable models in all shapes and sizes. Call Jim’s Dealership today at 800-NEW-CARS for a car quote that you can afford. Call 800-NEW-CARS today.”
2. Say It Loud and Proud. Put your phone number on everything – from business cards to company cars. Hire a troop to scream it out from the top of the tallest building. Seriously, make sure people know how to contact you. Use it in all of your advertising. Radio, print, television, billboards, collateral materials, even on your website for local searches. Think big, think branding, think billboards or better yet, moving billboards. Using your vanity number on all marketing materials and in all advertising campaigns delivers consistent messaging and ensures that the number will pull more leads and sales.
3. Say it in a Song. Everyone loves a good jingle. And, they have been proven to stick with people forever – for example Folgers – “The best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup.” Using jingles in radio and television ads have been hugely successful for businesses in food, package goods and even the automotive industry. They create an emotional connection with consumers. And, they can last for years and years (as long as they are not too cheesy or annoying). The cost of creating one jingle has HUGE pay off if you use it to brand your business, run it in all broadcast ads, and increase your leads and sales as a result.
4. More is More. Make sure you give your advertising campaign, and direct response tool (remember we are talking vanity phone numbers here, trackable vanity 800 phone numbers) a chance. Run a moderate to heavy ad schedule. If it is a radio ad, be sure to run on several stations that target your audience, and run the ads at least several times a week on each station. Same goes for television, and print – come to think of it! We all have a better chance of remembering a phone number if we hear it several times a day! The more impressions you provide the better the retention rate by your audience.
5. Brand, brand, brand. When you activate a vanity 800 phone number, be sure to get one that ties into your product or service. Follow steps 1-4. This will help. A car dealer who uses 1-800-NEW-CARS is stating the obvious, but we need that as consumers. It enhances the brand, the ad message and the opportunity to be remembered by your target audience. If you are selling real estate services 1-800-NEXT-HOME is a clear indication of what you have to offer. As a matter of fact, apart from your company name, a strong call to action, and a branding vanity phone number, you do not need to include much else in your ad. That will avoid clutter and the chance of overwhelming consumers with too much information.
Finally, test it and track it. Create two separate ads using the same creative elements, just switch up a toll-free phone number for a vanity 800 number in one of the ads. Then track the response you get from each ad. It has been proven that people will remember a vanity phone number (one that spells something, like 1-800-PICK-UPS) in a radio ad fourteen times more than they will remember a numeric number. So you will be able to test ad campaigns, specific media channels, and find out which ones in your local media/advertising market are best for your success.
When using a phone number as a direct response tool there is no question that true vanity 800 phone numbers are the easiest to remember, and produce higher response rates.
