Waching daily Mar 28 2018

I've done it again. I've downsized my books by about 50%.

This time I've just tackled the standalone since I did go ahead and do

all of the wrappings for the series books. Each month I'm gonna pull out at least

three series and give them all at least a chapter and then decide if I'm gonna

keep that series or not. I wanted to show you guys my progress. Yesterday I

had a total of 288 unread books that were stand-alones. Today I have went

through those again and now I have 136 stand-alones. That's about 50% that I got

rid of. I now have a total of 85 young adult books that are stand-alones, three

classic Barnes & Noble edition bound ups of short stories poems and the Grimm's

fairy tales, and 48 adult books. I'm going to show you guys which books I kept

and which books I got rid of in a very brief fashion.

First we have my young adults and the bind up editions that I talked about. I

didn't include audiobooks in the count, but those are the audio books

that I own physically with the exception of one but I've already downloaded it

onto my computer so I'll just listen to it that way. Then we have the A's through

the E's. That's what I've kept. Let me know if you've read any of these and

which ones I should read right away. I have my F's through S's. Here we

have the last bit of the alphabet. The last section is empty so I did good. Moving

on to my adult starting from the bottom nothing, nothing, nothing for the third

one. I only have two halves of the adult. M all the way through Z and then

the one above that is A to L. Those are my adult books. The ones that are wrapped

are one's I've gotten this year so I wanted to

make sure that those are priority when I am picking out books. These are the ones I

decided to part with. That's a lot of books. Most of them were ones that are still

fairly newer like that one's fairly newer but these were mostly impulse buys

from book outlet. Some of them I did get at Barnes & Noble and pay like full

price but I'm just at the point where I'm ready to part. I don't want to be

stressed out by having a ton of books that I need to read.

It's gonna be a lot easier on me if I get rid of anything that I look at and

just I'm not feeling it or don't really know that much about it so that I could

focus on the books that are really going to make me happy. Some of these are even

signed editions where I actually met the authors and their personalized, like the

Alex Flinn ones. Those both are personalized and signed. She

doesn't go to that many events so that's kind of a unique thing that I have, but I

decided to go ahead and get rid of those books as well because there's just no reason to

keep it even though it's a signed edition if I'm not gonna read it or I'm

going to be making myself read it but I'm not really in the mood for it

anymore. There's already a movie for Beastly so I can just watch the

movie to get the same storyline or at least the gist or the feel of the

storyline. That's how it was with some of my newer books, like the DUFF. I'm

like I have the movie so I will just watch the movie. Let me know if you have

any advice for me when it comes to series and figuring out how to get rid

of those. What do you think about me getting rid of half of the books in one

go and which books you would like for me to hurry up and read and review, or if

you see any books that I kept or that you feel like are horrible or the

authors are bad people or something like that let me know that down below in the

comments and that should help me figure out how I

want to arrange them and get them out of the way and see which ones I really

enjoy or not. Thanks for watching. It's my birthday today as I'm recording this so

yeah I'm 28 now and I've decided on my birthday to go through books. I'm weird.

And then go to work because that's just how I roll I guess. Bye. Tell me if you're

looking forward to unwrappings because I got a lot of stuff to unwrap.

6. Drinking 2-3 glasses of water on empty stomach is ideal for weight loss. Besides eliminating toxins from the body, water helps to burn fat and calories, so it reduces the feelings of hunger avoiding putting on weight by overeating.

7. Drinking water in the morning helps to maintain the overall good health because it helps us maintain the lymphatic system healthy, the intestinal transit, it helps us to control cortisol, and defends us against infections.

How to consume water in the morning

Consuming water in the morning is a good habit that we can all form in order to take care of our health and body.

For this it is important to note that we should drink water moderately and calmly, as it will not have the same benefits if we drink too much water at one time – which instead can cause health disorders.

To consume water on empty stomach, in the morning, consider these recommendations:.

1. If you want to drink two liters of water or 4 glasses of water, it is best to divide this amount and drink it 4 times a day. You can start drinking a glass of water on empty stomach, then after breakfast and the other two glasses at different hours before eating another meal.

2. As you get used to consuming water regularly, it is recommended to start with small amounts, you can start drinking a glass of water on empty stomach and you can gradually increase to 2 or 3.

How To Make A Customer Testimonial Video - Duration: 2:04.

Now credibility is key in business and video testimonials are a great way to

show potential customers your brand is trusted by others, get them right and

they are golden marketing material. So let's take a look at what makes a

winning testimonial. Firstly ask the right open-ended question and make sure

your customer gives you the question back in the answer. So for example if I

said what's your name you would respond with hi my name is Rob as opposed to

just Rob. Get your customer to give you their name, title, business and a short

description of what they do ask them to tell you the problems they had with

their business products or service before they came to you this is the pain

points we need to know how bad it was the fears they had before they came

and found you. Ask them how they found you, how you provided the solution they were

looking for what it was and how its made their business better how it improved

their business product or service. Ask them to explain why they think you are

the best at what you do they couldn't have solved their problem without you.

And finally ask them if they'd recommend you. Remember don't script you're

testimonials so don't tell your customers what to say but give them the

right questions to answer. Also have someone natural but experienced ask the

questions so your customer doesn't feel added pressure having you sat there

remember not everyone likes being on camera so you want your customer nice

and relaxed to ensure they give you the best testimonial now you've shot your

testimonial where should you use it. Recommendation number one is as a

Facebook or YouTube ad, remember people buy from people so rather than a sales

video you could use your testimonials in your ad campaigns. Recommendation number

two is on the products and services pages of your website so when someone's

actually taking a look at a product or a service that you offer they can review

one of your testimonials at the same time no need for any hard sells here.

Recommendation number three is on your checkout page, testimonials are known to

increase conversions on checkout pages.
