I love UrbanDictionary.com.
A lot of people wince at it and think it’s uncivilized or whatever, but I kinda dig it. It’s got lots of edgy terms with great plays on words/letters that are awesome for emails.
One of my favorite terms on there is:
“SIMP”
This is guy who’s really a sissy, but acts like a pimp.
In other words…
He’ll talk about how he’s the man, doesn’t care about his girl, is a stud, etc.
But, in reality, he kisses her bootay.
Worships her.
And, is basically whipped.
We got some online SIMPS, too. I speaketh of people who act like they’re super experienced and know what they’re talking about with emails, sales letters, marketing, etc.
But really, they’re just amateurs.
With no real experience.
No real successes.
And, no real reason to be teaching anything.
Someone recently tested me to see if I’m just a SIMP online. She made the comment that, yeah, selling “how to make money” stuff (like email training, for example) is easier than other products. But what else outside this niche have I been successful selling?
I don’t blame people for asking this.
I think more people should.
The answer is hellz yeah I have.
I’ve successfully sold products for weight loss, prostate problems, golf, self defense, fitness, health supplements, dog training, dressing for style, and a bunch more. (Frankly, I’ve lost track).
I’d also argue golf and weight loss are much easier sells, anyway.
Those two markets are as rabid as Cujo.
So there ya have it.
I may be a lot of things — good & bad.
But I ain’t no SIMP.
And I prove it in “Email Players” each month.
