My new fan here seems to think so:
Ben don’t be rude and disrespectful to Nigerians .
How dare you direct this message to Nigerians like we have to do something extraordinary to get paid for our service .
Moreover you had the guts to use our situation to sell your dirty program . You should have directed this message to any modafucka looking to get clients and not Nigerians .
Embarrassing coming from you and it’s not the fist time you’re putting out this same content .
Do better !
The context:
A few days ago, I gave a long, very detailed, and I argue extremely valuable answer in one of my daily emails to a question that was asked by a Nigerian copywriter who was struggling with not getting clients, even though he is putting out lots of valuable content like everyone says to do.
Plus he said, and I quote:
“Some [clients] rejected me plainly because am a Nigerian and not a US citizen. So I feel bad.”
In other words:
The Nigerian stigma was literally in the question he asked.
To leave that detail out just to appease the idiot reply guy above’s insecurities would not only have been a disservice to the readers who deserve full context, but also a sin against the email marketing gods for not using the inherent drama that comes with such a question in my subject line.
As far as using the situation to sell my “dirty program” as he described it?
Don’t mind if I do.
