How A Hairdryer And YouTube Saved Christmas

…or another title could have been how I saved $300 and brought happiness to Mrs Mac’s life.

Q – When is a TV not a TV?

A – When it decides that it wants to turn itself on and off on it’s own.

Yep, days out from Christmas and our TV decides to take it’s power back.

So faced with the idea of having to replace it before Christmas I spend hours yesterday in a battle of wills with it.

I’ll be honest, it won.

Then light bulb moment…YouTube!

There’s bound to be something I can try before I bring it to the recycling depot.

Low and behold, I find a video that shows how to fix the problem with a simple hairdryer.

And even better…it works.

Warm up the TV and on it comes, just like magic.

Now I know the solution is a temporary one and I’ll have to get a new one, but for now my wife’s got her TV back…..happy wife, happy life.

Thing is, if the guy had charged me $20 for a solution I would have jumped at it.

But he didn’t. And yet I bet there’s tons of people using his advice and leaving happy campers.

What about you?

What do you know that we don’t? And more importantly pay for that solution.

You could create a video, write a simple sales letter and put a Paypal button it, and you could  be making money on autopilot.

That’s how all my courses got started.  If you want to see some, go here.
