It took me a long while to realise that even with my best customers, they are not always ready to buy when I am ready to launch. So it pays to put the offer in front of them daily.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot of wisdom in what Alp said above.<\/p>\n<p>(Yes, even with me mischievously leaving out the details of exactly what kind of emails I teach did what for his results\u2026 saving those details for the January &#8220;Email Players&#8221; issue next month.)<\/p>\n<p>More:<\/p>\n<p>Alp is 100% correct.<\/p>\n<p>Mixing and matching themes you read in the &#8220;Email Players Playbook&#8221; and in the monthly issues will make your emails not only far better than anyone you compete against, but difficult for some loser copycat to knock you off.<\/p>\n<p>Most people simply aren\u2019t deep thinkers.<\/p>\n<p>Especially in Internet marketing land.<\/p>\n<p>(Where everyone wants to swipe and deploy, and not think.)<\/p>\n<p>And, they certainly don\u2019t think deeply enough to mix n\u2019 match as Alp describes.<\/p>\n<p>Want 2018 to bring you more sales from your emails than ever before? Then mix n match the themes, email teachings, subject lines, and other things I teach in the \u201cEmail Players\u201d newsletter, seeing what works best for your particular market and product line. (For example, what Alp describes for wait loss niche does not apply to me selling Email Players, golf, prostate problems, or dating \u2014 every market is different).<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line?<\/p>\n<p>Mix, match, shuffle, and repeat what I teach.<\/p>\n<p>The more you do that, the more interesting your emails will be, the more likely they\u2019ll be read, and the better the chances of people buying from you.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the caveat is, you must have my system.<\/p>\n<p>And the only way to get it is to subscribe to \u201cEmail Players\u201d and read the free book that comes with the subscription, and the monthly content.<\/p>\n<p>So much Value packed in the January issue.<\/p>\n<p>So much of the green stuff to be made.<\/p>\n<p>So much info that works, even if you\u2019re not a \u201ccopywriter\u201d or whatever.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the link:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.EmailPlayers.com\"><strong>www.EmailPlayers.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ben Settle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cEmail Players\u201d subscriber Alp Turan brings up something the Facebook group-addicted copywriters who think \u201ccopy is king!\u201d when it comes to email fear worse than a visit from Krampus on Christmas: I\u2019ve only been doing daily emails for the last 20 days, but here is the pattern I noticed: Consistency + email content (what I [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-12644","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-email-marketing"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bensettle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bensettle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bensettle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bensettle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bensettle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12644"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bensettle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12644\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bensettle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bensettle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12644"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bensettle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
