Free Training For Growing Your Online Business: http://www.milliondollarbiz.com/free-training/ In this tutorial video I show you how to upload your book to ACX. ACX is a site owned by Amazon that allows you to take your Kindle Ebook and sell it as an audio book. The method I show you in this tutorial is one in which you will do a 50/50 split with a narrator who will record your e-book for free. Since they will do the recording for free every time the audio book sells they will get a split of the royalty you earn. You can also narrate the book yourself or pay for someone to just narrate the entire book for you. I always choose to do the 50 / 50 split because it's free. It's an easy way to make extra money from your Kindle e-books. Thank you for watching and subscribing to my channel. I r...

Shhhh - Be very very quiet
It's woman season - I'm woman hunting
Every time I go woman hunting
It always seems to blow up in my face
I never really get the things I want
I'm not expecting a pity party or nothing
Any girl'd be nice every now and then
I'm a nice guy - I bathe
Sure I got blue arms - So what?
It doesn't make me a bad person
One example - Just last night I had it all ready
The girl that walked out on me on New years Eve
Well she came back last night
And she said, "I don't have to go home tonight."
I said, "All right."
So - I bought again a case of cold, cold Heiniken
And then - I had it in the van
A big bottle of Jack Daniels
Not the little one, the big one
And I always carry a stash, cause you never know
I had two left, two ludes, for the girl of my dreams
Now,again, she drinks my beer
She drinks my whiskey
She does my Qualudes
5 o'clock comes
"Oh I feel sick - I gotta go home now."
And she threw up all over the floor
I said, "Freeze, freeze - go outside and do that!"
I said, "The hell with this. I don't need this."
"I'll go to the geisha house where it's free."
So I said, "Quit, quit throwing up"
"Don't tell me no, tell me yeah yeah yeah"
Don't tell me no tell me yeah yeah yeah
And she threw up again
Tell me tell me that
Tell me tell me that
Tell me tell me that
Can I lubricate your lips
Hey hey hey

Tell me tell me that

Hey hey hey, can't ya hear me say
