Sound Advice by Leon Sievers Sound Professional November 09, 2001

It's just not right. Hundreds of Audio Technicians are living at or just below a six-figure income. But now you can help. For about five hundred dollars a day (that's less than the price of a big screen television set) you can help keep an Audio technician economically viable during their time of need.

Five hundred dollars a day may not seem like a lot of money to you, but to an Audio Technician, it could mean the difference between fly fishing in Florida or a Mediterranean cruise.

For you, five hundred dollars is nothing more than a car payment or credit card bill. But to an Audio technician, five hundred dollars a day will almost cover his or her day-rate.

Five hundred dollars a day will enable a Audio technician to upgrade his or her home computer, buy that new 100" television set, trade in the 6 month old Jeep Grand Cherokee for a BMW M3 or enjoy a dinner (with champagne) at his or her favorite restaurant.

"HOW WILL I KNOW I'M HELPING?"

Each month, you will receive a complete financial report on the Audio tech you sponsor. Detailed information about his or her stocks, bonds as an Audio Technician's net worth grow. You'll also get detailed information on how they chose to invest their 1.2 million dollar lump sum they get upon their retirement AND about the financials on the dotcoms they start (with your money).

"HOW WILL THEY KNOW I'M HELPING?"

Your technician will be told that he or she has a SPECIAL FRIEND that just wants to help. Although the technician won't know your name, he or she will be able to make collect calls to your home via a special operator in case they need more funds.
