Early last year, I got contacted by a bloke with a big email list wanting to hire me for consulting. My initial response was what I tell everyone wanting to hire me for consulting:

“Negative.”

For one, I don’t particularly like talking to people.

Even friends & family know text or email is best.

And for another:

I simply have never found consulting worth my time. After all, the hour I spend consulting someone, I could assemble and mail an offer to my own list that would make me much more of the green stuff than a consulting fee — unless I charged several hundred dollars per hour for such a service, I suppose, and even then it’s just not something I enjoy.

But then, a light-bulb flickered in my devious mind, and I emailed him back:

“How about this, I consult you for an hour in exchange for you mailing your list about me, and referring them to check out my website?”

Long story short:

He enthusiastically agreed.

And, he not only mailed his list about me, but was so happy with the results, he made a YouTube video, too.

“Fast forward” a few months later:

I tested making the same offer to my “Email Players” subscribers.

And, while it was quite exhausting (I foolishly did multiple calls in the same days I did them), it wasn’t the hellish experience I was envisioning, and even caught myself having a bit of fun.

Which brings me to today:

I’m now making that same offer to my main email list (i.e. you):

If you qualify, I’ll give you an hour of consulting about anything I’m qualified to talk about — nothing held back, “uncut” and uncensored — in exchange for you emailing your list to opt-in at www.BenSettle.com.

Here’s how it works:

1. You must have an email list of at least 5,000 online business owners who both would be interested in the kind of info I write about and sell, and also who hear from you regularly via *email*. If you are one of these guys or ghouls who only uses social media and never emails, it ain’t gonna happen. That weeds out probably 95% of people reading this

2. You mail your list first, then we will do the consult

3. You can record and use the consult as content, a bonus/premium, even sell it if you want, it’s totally yours, and will be recorded on your zoom or skype or whatever, not by me

The deadline to respond to this is tomorrow night (2/16) by midnight EST.

My time is limited though, and I won’t be doing this for very many people. Frankly, if nobody reading this qualifies, I would not exactly lose sleep over it.

But, depending on the demand, this offer will almost certainly end way sooner than the deadline.

So I do not recommend putting this off even a single minute if you do qualify and want in on this.

To get the ball rolling, reply back with the details on your list before the deadline with the specifics about what kind of business people are on your list, what they like to buy/learn, size of it, and how often you mail it.

If it sounds like a good deal to me, we’ll make it happen.

If not, we won’t.
