Amusing opt-out of the week…<\/p>\n
Dude I have no idea what this letter is about nor do I care do not send me anymore emails or scam letters anymore I am not interested. THAN OR NOW!!!!!!!! LOOSE MY EMAIL ADDRESS. ……..DO NOT SEND ME ANYTHING ELSE. EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The lad sounds a tad too tightly wound for his own good.<\/p>\n
Usually I just delete these.<\/p>\n
But, in this case, I wanted to track where he came from.<\/p>\n
And, sure enough, he came from Pay-per-click (back on December 23rd, with his IP address and general location where he opted in at recorded) where we don\u2019t use double opt in. Plus, he used a free yahoo address. That probably means he joined just to \u201cget the free stuff\u201d (i.e. the bribe to join my list), then probably just checked his email again for the first time after almost a month, saw a few dozen emails from me piled up, and proceeded to go into full-on nutzo mode.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s ironic, too.<\/p>\n
Why?<\/p>\n
Because emails like the above are the real \u201cspam.\u201d<\/p>\n
Guy opts into my list willingly and on his own volition, then sends me an unsolicited\u00a0shrieking complaint (some of it in ALL CAPS which means he’s serious) about getting emails he asked me to send him.<\/p>\n
Even more ironic:<\/p>\n
I not only say \u201cyou\u2019ll be getting daily promotional emails\u201d at the opt-in box (clearly, so the Google AdWords powers-that-be see it) but you also have to check a box acknowledging you read the terms before my form lets you opt-in, and the first email with the bribe link outright says I mail a lot, etc and how to opt-out if that\u2019s going to give someone acid reflux.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I ain\u2019t mad at the guy..<\/p>\n
It\u2019s probably not his fault he\u2019s stupid.<\/p>\n
But if you\u2019re going to email using my system, best brace for similar emails.<\/p>\n
Especially if you use paid traffic and single opt-in.<\/p>\n
(If you don’t occasionally get these, you ain’t trying hard enough, Bub.)<\/p>\n
All right that\u2019s it for today.<\/p>\n
