And yes, i've read all of Gary's books and watch his show pretty religiously.
I have had a twink friend/former coworker intern for him. They didn't pick him up after the internship and ending up killing it and getting a smoking hot gf while learning invaluable things that I am pretty sure wouldn't have happened had he stayed there.

That's the thing that needs to be understood by those window and lawncare guys. SM isn't going anywhere. Once they understand that they will spend thousands a year just like they did with radio/TV/Yellowpages. Also SM isn't Groupon or Living Social and it's not a quick fix.

As a quick sidebar, this guy I have a landscape site for hits me up and tells me to get him to #1 on google and in the 7 pack (now 3 pack) local before the first snowfall for 'snow removal royal oak / Birmingham / Bloomfield Hills, yadda yadda' , like a week ago. Just to let you know what kind of retardation I put up with.
