In the name of fairness:

Below is an email written to his list about how methods did NOT work (well, briefly, at least…) from a man who is a Gary Halbert and Dan Kennedy-approved marketer, Agora Financial copywriter, and one of my best marketing chums… Doberman Dan Gallapoo.

After busting my chops for years about not emailing my list every day, I finally gave in.

And only a few months ago I started sending a daily email.

Guess what happened after the first month.

Nuttin’ honey.

I sooooo wanted to prove Ben wrong. So I told him my results.

He told me to stop trying to sell surreptitiously, grow a pair and pitch in EVERY SINGLE EMAIL.

Since I wanted to prove him wrong, I did exactly what he said.

Guess what happened after two more weeks of daily emails… but this time with a blatant pitch in every email.

Nuttin’ honey.

So I kept doing it. ‘Cuz I couldn’t wait to tell Ben his system failed.

But guess what happened two weeks later.

The floodgates were opened.

And I’m happy to say that the number of knights in the Marketing Camelot has never been higher.

Ben Settle, ya big beautiful bastard. I soooooo wanted to prove you wrong.

But dammit… your email system worked.

Sure, it took a while to get it tweaked and build some momentum. But it’s now generating a steady, predictable and reliable flow of new knights into my Marketing Camelot.

I shoulda done this when Ben first told me about it YEARS ago.

Gawd knows how much money I’ve missed out on because I didn’t.

You really need to study the email marketing Jedi mind tricks Ben reveals in his Email Players newsletter…

www.emailplayers.com

No, that’s not an affiliate link. Ben doesn’t allow affiliates to sell his newsletter.

And no, we don’t have any kind of rev-share agreement.

In fact, he has no idea I’m even mentioning his newsletter. (Until he reads this email.)

I’m just sharing it with you for two reasons:

It’s excellent and it’s making me a lot of money.

I don’t have a scarcity mindset.

In other words, I don’t believe that promoting Ben’s newsletter to the people on my list is going to negatively affect enrollment in my own membership program and newsletter, The Marketing Camelot.

Ben’s newsletter is something I believe in so I wanted to share it with you.

Simple as that.

(Ben, I’m not breaking your rule of pitching in every email. I DID pitch. I just pitched YOUR newsletter… probably much to your surprise.)

Look, I’m not gonna lie to you and tell you that doing an email every day is a walk in the park.

There are some nights when I’m sitting in the family room with my wife at midnight, staring at my laptop half asleep, wondering what the hell I’m going to write for tomorrow’s email.

But I do it.

‘Cuz I made a commitment to do it.

And it’s worth it.

Listen, I’ve heard all the objections for not sending a daily email. Hell, I said them all myself.

But I tried it and now I’m a believer.

Try it. You’ve got nothing to lose.

All the best,
Doberman Dan

P.S. Ya know what?

I think Ben has been using his mind manipulation tricks on me for YEARS…

…knowing I would eventually pull my head outta my posterior and start emailing daily.

I bet that smug S.O.B. is gloating right this very second.

I SHOULD be mad. But his system is making me so much money I can’t be anything but happy.

I think you’ll be happy, too.

Pax vobiscum.

Sheesh.

Even my best pals doubt me.

But, that’s okay.

I actually dig it.

Because, it’s the people trying to prove me wrong (the intellectually honest ones, at least) who apply the info, and who end up making out like bandits (some of them even go on to out earn my own results using my own methods!)

Anyway, today’s the deadline to get the February issue.

Whether you want to test my methods yourself or are just looking for an excuse to get started, now’s the time.

After today, it’s too late.

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.

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.

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. 😉
