I swear…
Something’s in the air besides Spring right now.
I’ve suddenly been getting a TON of quextions about email copywriting & marketing.
Such as why do I send DAILY emails instead of weekly or monthly?
Why do I **butcher** the English language so much?
And how come I sometimes do the exact opposite of what many of the “goo-roos” do?
But you know what?
By FAR the most axed question has been:
And the answer is “no”.
As much as I LOVE email marketing (more than any other kind), I doubt I’ll ever have a course.
Even if I did, it’d be very, very expensive.
And probably only available to people who have bought my copywriting book.
But here’s the good newz:
I have NO problem telling you who my biggest email influences are.
The email “studs” I’ve learned and made the most moolah from.
So without further ado, here goes…
1. Matt Furey
Matt is numero uno for me.
I spent 5 years trying to “reverse engineer” his emails with no luck.
In fact, the more I tried, the WORSE my results.
After I got his big course last year, it all “clicked” (no pun intended).
See, you cannot learn MF’s system just by reading his emails.
There’s a powerful mindset and **strategy** behind them.
Anyway, if you can find his course (it doesn’t seem to be for sale right now) snatch that sucker.
I’m on my 9th time through it and am STILL pulling gems out.
2. Terry Dean
Terry is one of email marketing’s “pioneers.”
In fact, a lot of the Internet marketing and email stuff we all take for granted today came from Terry’s sweat and hard work.
And his email course (which is “chump change” compared to what you get) reveals ALL the cool things he’s learned from his testing with his and his client’s giant Internet marketing businesses.
It’s truly a “gold mine” of insights and advanced email strategies.
You can grab it at:
3. Jay White
If you’re on any “guru” lists, you’re already reading Jay’s emails.
His clients include dudes like Alex Mandossian, Stephen Pierce, Rich Schefren, Jeff Walker, and a bunch of other “players.”
And you wanna know what?
Jay just created his own course that he sells via AWAI (just google it and you can find it pretty easy).
Anyway, if you’re interested in taking your email marketing to the next “level”, these 3 guys come with my HIGHEST recommendation.
If nothing else, hop on their lists.
Just seeing these guys do their thing is an advanced email copywriting education in itself.

UPDATE 6-18-10: I have since changed my mind and DID create an email course. It’s pretty expensive, and not meant for everyone. However, if you’re interested go to www.StreetSmartEmail.com
