Check this out:
A couple weeks ago I got the following email from a WSO (Warrior Forum Special Offer) addict after I refused to let him buy my “Copywriting Grab Bag” product.
Anyway, here’s his message:
Subject: Why Ben Settle is a FAG
Message Body:
Freakin a Genius!
Because you made me feel like a girl who just got dumped at prom, I want to share my story…
I signed up for the Email Players Club in late March and couldn’t wait to get started. I had my website up for almost a year and a half, but I wasn’t making a fucking dime.
I was the guy, WSO’s marketing guru’s love, easy prey just walking blindly hoping this next $ product was going to be my salvation, but that all changed….here’s how…
* When I signed up for your email players club in late March, I was excited to see what you offered, and then it happened..
My site crashed, lost every picture because my web developer accidentally deleted a file, and I was left with 1400 picture to replace, because my external hard drive was broke by my 3 year old, and I was dead in the water ready to quit.
So, I cancelled every freaking subscription and said its time to get a real job, but something I didn’t expect rolled into my lap.
Like the dumbass I am, I “adderalled” my pictures back in place and started to Patrice O’neal my customers, and even discovered the secret to testimonials…best part-neither had anything to do with soliciting them off Craigslist and it didn’t require a rest area.
Because I used the tips I found in the Email Players Club (Issue No. 33, page 1-2 and p. 15), I doubled my yearly sales on one freaking sales page, and I did nothing but follow the 3 c’s of successful bullets!
That’s when I was hooked and I couldn’t help but tell my other marketing friends about this guy who went against everything I was being told, but soon after, my world came crashing yet again…
Just yesterday, a good friend of mine (Whom owns 3 websites and successfully sold a startup for several hundred thousand) told me he followed up with Ben Settle about a special event, that only allows 8 people, and asked if I was intererested in joining him.
Hell yeah, and that’s when I took 1/20th of my profits I had made from this “anti-guru” expert, and attempted to purchase his product that would be my salvation, but it didn’t happen. Do you know why?
Because he pulled the biggest dick move I’ve ever witnessed, he destroyed my confidence, and made me fell like a prom date that was left to dance to MC Hammer alone, AND I LOVED IT!!!
Now that you know my story, I’m asking for forgiveness, I cancelled your Email Players Club and now I”m back where I started, lonely and depressed, listening to John Denver as I read old Ben Settle emails, thinking about our time together.
If you would allow me back in the Club, and allow me to purchase the Copywriting Grab Bag, I gladly agree to weekly urinalysis tests, to show I’m WSO free and to let you know how serious I am, plus-I will never cancel again, even if my site crashes and my daughter needs $97 to get a marriage certificate at the county clerk’s office.
Either way, you’re stuff is phenomenal, its exactly what I’ve been looking for, and to actually block someone from buying your product is the biggest DICK move, (Maybe you learned it at the old Checkers club in Carbondale, I don’t know) but my respect for what you do…exceeded levels, blew recipricocity shit out of the water and leaves me willing to douse my genitals in hot sauce, just to get another opportunity.
Whether I’m allowed back in or not, (it sucks) but…you’ve got a fan for life!
Anyway, I got a kick out of that.
And it’s proof you don’t necessarily “lose” sales by sticking to your guns — in my experience, sales go up, as does the quality of customer you attract.
Anyway, time to sell something.
So here goes…
The July “Email Players” includes a special bonus interview with “Email Players” subscriber and one of the world’s top geniuses on how to explode the size of your list using solo ads — Igor Kheifets.
Everyone asks about list building.
About traffic.
And, about having a huge audience.
Well, guess what?
Solo ads can do all those things.
And, fast.
Especially with Igor’s methods.
