Going “Dark” For A While

I’m gonna go “dark” online for a while.

I’m taking a 2-3 week break from all things business — as I’ve literally been go! Go! GO! for well over a year straight (almost without pause), and I’m a tad burned out.

So I won’t be writing any new email tips for a few weeks.

But who knows?

Maybe I’ll get the “bug” to do a video or something?

Whatever the case, to keep those “Ben Settle withdrawal” shakes under control until my return, here are some (shamelessly self serving) resources to tide you over:

Anyway, be safe and stay out of trouble while I’m gone.

I’ll be back before ya know it…

Ben Settle

P.S. I’ll start revving up the forthcoming CD-Of-The-Month deal I’ve been endlessly teasing about when I get back, too. I just have to write the ad for it and the book members get free, and get the first round of interviews in the hopper.

P.P.S. Wait! Got one more goodie for you:

Remember a couple weeks ago that Doberman Dan Gallapoo tele-seminar I told you about? Well, a lot of people couldn’t listen to it for technical reasons.

But guess what?

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

Even when you’re simply just selling stuff, your emails are, in effect, brilliant content for marketers who want to see how to make sales copy incapable of being ignored by their core market. You are a master of this rare skill, Ben, and I tip my hat in respect.

I confess that I have only begun watching Ben closely and corresponding with him fairly recently, my mistake. At this point, it is, bluntly, very rare to discover somebody I find intelligent, informed, interesting and inspiring, and that is how I would describe Ben Settle.

Dan S. Kennedy

Author, ’No BS’ book series

Ben is one of the sharpest marketing minds on the planet, and he runs his membership “Email Players” better than just about any other I’ve seen. I highly recommend it.

I think Ben is the light heavyweight champion of email copywriting. I ass-lo think we’d make Mayweather money in a unification title bout!

There are very, very few copywriters whose copy I not only read but save so I can study it… and Ben is on that short list. In fact, he’s so good… he kinda pisses me off. But don’t tell him I said that. 😉
