Seriously, night n day\u00a0from before.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong># # #<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I&#8217;m new at this, too, and everything has gone just as Ben\u00a0predicted. Lots of initial unsubscribes, a few spam complaints, but\u00a0now things have settled down, and I&#8217;m getting excellent response\u00a0from my people (and sales). Felt a little intimidating to jump in\u00a0and do it, but there are so many positives, I&#8217;m glad I did. Good\u00a0luck!<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>More:<\/p>\n<p>Last month I sold the Titans of Direct Response DVD&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>And, if you remember, I sent 17 emails out between a Thursday and\u00a0that Sunday \u2014with 8 of them being on that Sunday, which even\u00a0other hardcore mailers I know were in awe at how I got away with it.<\/p>\n<p>Wouldn&#8217;t people opt out in droves?<\/p>\n<p>Wouldn&#8217;t I a ton of spam complaints?<\/p>\n<p>Not even close.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, I looked it up and had ONE spam complaint.<\/p>\n<p>That was it that entire weekend.<\/p>\n<p>And it was from some blue light special crying to me saying I was\u00a0committing &#8220;list abuse&#8221;, which is just idiotic considering he can\u00a0delete or opt-out at any time. Brian Kurtz was so happy with the\u00a0results he said he hoped his other affiliates would do half as well.\u00a0(Recently he also said I was so far beating all his other affiliates &#8212; some of them huge names in the direct response marketing world &#8212; in terms\u00a0of conversions. It&#8217;s not unusual for me to beat all other\u00a0affiliates when I mail using my secret\u00a0&#8220;formula&#8221; for doing affiliate marketing with emails \u2014 like with\u00a0Ryan Levesque, when I walked up to all his other affiliates last\u00a0year and gleefully stole their lunch money by out-converting all of\u00a0them too\u2026)<\/p>\n<p>So anyway,\u00a0that&#8217;s that.<\/p>\n<p>To sum up?<\/p>\n<p>My favorite cartoon Dexter Abraham put it best when he\u00a0posted this on Flakebook last week:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;I&#8217;ve never seen a single example of less emails equalling better relationship with customers and increased sells&#8230;&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>^^ Agreed.<\/p>\n<p>The trick is doing it right.<\/p>\n<p>Most people do not do it right.<\/p>\n<p>Most peoples&#8217; emails are the opposite of how to do it right and,\u00a0yes, that is probably why they suffer the slings and arrows of\u00a0making no fortune with emails, get themselves banned, and are\u00a0riddled with spam complaints.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s an art and science to this.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s what I teach in &#8220;Email Players&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>And, I can teach it to you, too.<\/p>\n<p>That is, if you qualify, at least.<\/p>\n<p>And by the way, speaking of Brian Kurtz and his Titans DVD&#8217;s\u2026 in\u00a0the July &#8220;Email Players&#8221; issue I go through one of the most\u00a0powerful email marketing persuasion &#8220;tools&#8221; you can use I learned from his DVD&#8217;s.\u00a0And, I show you exactly how I applied it to a launch recently.<\/p>\n<p>But, a word of warning:<\/p>\n<p>Chances are, you won&#8217;t want to use this tool.<\/p>\n<p>Or, you&#8217;ll be too scared to.<\/p>\n<p>But, I can say this\u2026 if you DO use it\u2026 and if you do it the exact\u00a0way I explain (and show, with examples) in the July issue, I don&#8217;t\u00a0see how you can possibly not make a lot more sales than you are.<\/p>\n<p>I certainly am.<\/p>\n<p>(In multiple ventures\/markets).<\/p>\n<p>And, there&#8217;s no reason why you can&#8217;t either.<\/p>\n<p>Get in while the gettin&#8217;s good here:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.EmailPlayers.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.EmailPlayers.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ben Settle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comes a common question: &#8220;will mailing the &#8216;Email Players&#8217; way\u00a0get me a lot of spam complaints, get me ending up in the junk mail folder,\u00a0get slapped by my auto-responder&#8230;?&#8221; The answer?
