Lately everyone thinks I’m going to promote their offers.
And are SHOCKED when I tell them to take a hike.
I don’t know why they’re shocked, though — as I’ve made it abundantly clear before I’m not going to mail other peoples’ offers except when it’s a friend or something I’ve used and bought and just can’t stand NOT letting other people know about.
But everyone else’s offers?
Fuhgeddaboudit.
Why am I such a prick about this?
For one, it’s more profitable to sell my own products.
But besides that, I’m amazed at the junk that’s being sold out there. And this goes double for any product with a goo-roo’s name attached to it. Further more, even if I WAS open to selling other peoples’ products to my list, I’d still ignore 99% of the offers that come into my inbox because the pitches are so… lame.
They’re not personal.
They’re not interesting.
And, in 9 out of 10 cases… they’re not even original.
(Just “cut & paste” jobs.)
With no personal story about using the product.
No personality.
And no… humanity.
I’ve actually been toying around with one day reprinting some of these JV pitches in my Crypto Marketing Newsletter just for kicks. But then I’d probably be breaking copyright laws (and bad writing is just as much under copyright laws as good writing).
And finally…
A lame JV pitch speaks volumes about the product.
So why even bother looking?
I mean, what would be the point?
Look… maybe I’m being a “joint venture nazi” here.
But I can’t stand lame products.
And just assume my list does, too.
