Recently, someone saw a testimonial I gave for “Email Players” subscriber Igor Kheifets. He wanted to know if one of his product was worth the money being charged.
My response:
“My testimonial is about what I think of him, he’s a good student. But I’ve never seen his product so couldn’t say.”
His reply:
“Okay. Are you making money with email marketing? Because i’m looking for a product/funnel to promote which gives me residual income”
Sigh.
Opportunity buyers…
Five minutes on Google would tell him everything he wants to know.
My response?
Well, I was tempted to Rick Roll him.
(i.e. send people to a link they think is content or something interseting, but is a YouTube video of Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” video from the 80’s.)
I really dig Rick Rolling people.
But, it’s too nice, the song/video not annoying enough. Nor does it accurately describe the people asking such questions.
So, I’ve decided to create my own meme.
I call it:
“Taylor Roll”
(Even better, as “Email Players” subscriber Mary Rose Maguire calls it “Tay-roll”)
And, instead of it being Rick Astley’s song, it’s Taylor Dane’s “Tell It To My Heart” — which I find a lot more fitting for a variety of reasons.
Especially to opportunity buyers craving the next product.
Anyway, henceforth I’ll be responding to questions like that with a link to that video.
Everyone else?
The grown-ups?
Why, you deserve a link to “Email Players”:
Yes, I know, I am kind…
