Finally, someone “gets” it…
Hey Ben!
The name is Trey, and I’ve been receiving your emails for a short amount of time now and just wanted to say, thanks!
Thanks for being one of the “rare” people on my list that I can depend on for realism!
Realism in the way the you write, approach an idea, and the way that you don’t put any fluff on it!
It’s in your face, un-censored writing that a person like me can appreciate.
And I love the end of every email too!
“If you are even thinking about swiping or stealing this email, I suggest…….”
(I have no intentions of coping them either, just saying)
Anyway,
Thanks so much for doing what you do and I look forward to the next email I gat from ya!
Hang loose man!
The Force is strong with this one.
You know, I cannot tell you how much it amuses me when someone takes that signature at the end of each email personally.
“Oooooh I’m so insulted!”
“Why do you keep threatening me?”
Or, my favorite, the blue-light special who recently seethed about what a “douche” I am… how no other marketer does that… and a bunch of other self loathing projection and babble.
My entire mastermind group laughed our asses off at it.
Especially when we saw his “IM scammer” site.
Anyway, I looooove when people whine about that letter.
I can imagine them now:
They land on my site.
They see the “swipe file” tab at the top.
They get a boner at the thought of all the copy they can plagiarize and steal and make money with the so-called “lazy way.”
Then… boom:
There’s no swipe file.
Just a letter about how it’s illegal to plagiarize emails word-for-word. Why they should sac up and write their own copy & content. And, the legal consequences of stealing. (Can’t wait to hear the squawks when I publish a JUDGEMENT letter. Heh.)
Good times.
Good times…
All right.
On to business:
The next “Email Players” issue shows you all kinds of ways to write stories in your emails that’ll make you a helluva lot more sales than swiping ever will.
