For vast majority of people, as long as \u201ctheir side\u201d says something (even if demonstrably fake) it\u2019s true. If the \u201cother side\u201d says something (even if demonstrably true) it must be fake.<\/p>\n<p>Same mentality carries over into business and marketing.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what I mean:<\/p>\n<p>If you understand how to write emails that position yourself so with your list you\u2019re \u201ctheir guy\u201d or \u201ctheir girl\u201d, your marketing\u2019s job is a helluva lot easier than if you have the usual boring, lukewarm positioning everyone else has. It\u2019s also why people who read (with understanding) the April \u201cEmail Players\u201d issue (today\u2019s the deadline to subscribe to get it) will have a huge advantage because of this &#8212; as it demonstrates a way of doing emails that naturally makes people choose a side (to be on your \u201cside\u201d) without you having to tell them to, without posturing, without beating your chest about what you believe or how great you are, or without any grandstanding whatsoever. It&#8217;s even worked to bring people over to &#8220;my side&#8221; from someone else&#8217;s side who had previously despised me.<\/p>\n<p>And, you want to know something?<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no reason it won\u2019t be the same for anyone else who uses the info.<\/p>\n<p>Key word is \u201cuses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All right, enough.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sending the April issue to the printer later today.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not on board before then, it\u2019ll be too late.<\/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>I recently read a story about how there are now fact checkers who are fact checking the fact checkers in the news business.
