And the inevitable question rears its head…
“Ben, I’m in trouble, I just got laid off and I need to make an income like yesterday. Advice???”
Y’all must think I’m Miracle Max or something.
Look, you basically have 3 choices:
1. You can bend over, put your head firmly between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye.
This is what a lot of people are doing.
(And it’s kind of a pity…)
2. Get a time machine and go back a few years when you KNEW you should have been preparing for something like this to happen.
Hey, the ancients knew this.
Think the 7 years of famine story in the Bible.
Or the grasshopper & ant fable.
Or… or… you get the idea.
What?
Can’t find a time machine?
Not even on eBay?
Then, here’s the 3rd option I’d recommend:
3. Start building an email list and mailing it.
Yeah, like yesterday.
Don’t SPURN this advice.
Do it!
And what I would suggest is figuring out a service you can offer and sell for quick cash flow, while building your own product line on the side.
What kind of service?
That’s entirely up to you, my fledgling.
But think of what skills you have, build a list of people interested in that service (either for hiring or learning it themselves) and start mailing it every day using the Settle sytem of email marketing — www.EmailPlayers.com — and never let up.
Relentless follow up is KEY, babycakes.
And also, stay away from distractions.
Turn off the TV.
And quit listening to hype.
Time to focus.
Build a list… mail it every day… and get to work.
And next time…
Dig your well BEFORE you’re thirsty.

P.S. This is a timely topic, too.
Why?
Because in the March “Email Players” issue, I’m showing you how to not just be a bonified… but BENEFIED… email marketer and writer. Thirty days is all I need to turn even the noobiest of noobs into someone who can pump out profitable emails sometimes in just minutes per day.
A tall order, you say?
Nah.
It’s actually pretty simple.
No, it’s not easy.
But, it is simple.
All you have to do is follow the “commandments” laid out in the next issue and you’ll go from email noob to email player in just 30 days.
But, be prepared to work hard.
To tell your loved ones you won’t see much of them for a month.
And, to make lots of sales.
(Which has its own problems, but those are the problems I create.)
