I am talking about the kind of boogeyman that takes the form of a horde of SJWs attacking, smearing, and falsely accusing you or your business of whatever idiotic spazz-of-the-month they are focused on.<\/p>\n<p>This is happening more and more.<\/p>\n<p>To businesses big and small.<\/p>\n<p>And, yes, even to \u201cliberals\u201d \u2014 who think they are immune to it because they are left winged, and foolishly assume the fringe parts of their ideology won\u2019t attack them for daring to even tip toe outside the Narrative. If you don\u2019t believe me, look at Sir Tim Hunt \u2014 2001 Nobel Prize winner in Physiology, whose entire legacy and professional reputation was wiped out during a single plane flight home where he was attacked for making a\u2026 a\u2026 a\u2026 \u2014 oh noes! \u2014 joke. Or, more recently, Will Wheaton \u2014 which was admittedly amusing, considering his background of smearing people he disagreed with.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, back to the boogeyman:<\/p>\n<p>When they come-knocking on your door it can destroy your sales.<\/p>\n<p>Get you inundated with bad reviews and word-of-mouth.<\/p>\n<p>And, if you let it, bring your business down to its knees.<\/p>\n<p>If you read anything to the right of Mother Jones or even the New York Times, you can see stories of this regularly. And, judging by how fragile most online business owners are, seeking a \u201csafe place\u201d and scared to death of being labeled (racist, sexist, whatever), this is something that be debilitating \u2014 professionally and emotionally \u2014 for them when it happens.<\/p>\n<p>I say \u201cwhen\u201d because if you have even a modicum of success it *will* happen to you.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe not today.<\/p>\n<p>Probably not even tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>But, it will happen.<\/p>\n<p>And, again, if you think you\u2019re safe because liberal, think again. If it ain\u2019t some loser SJW horde, it will be a major media outlet targeting you, or just a garden variety troll who tries to bring your booty down to their level of nothingness.<\/p>\n<p>Enter next month&#8217;s \u201cHalloween\u201d edition of the \u201cEmail Players\u201d newsletter.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all about how to \u201cJohn Wick\u201d this kind of boogeyman.<\/p>\n<p>And, not only destroy it (figuratively, of course), but profit immensely from its wiles \u2014 complete with real-life examples and game plans (one instance that happened to Yours Gruesome and another that happened to an \u201cEmail Players\u201d subscriber in the prepper niche who got attacked by snopes).<\/p>\n<p>More:<\/p>\n<p>Armed with the weapons I give you, you won\u2019t fear these boogeymen.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll actually seek them out.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because they will be predictable money in the bank.<\/p>\n<p>Every time.<\/p>\n<p>And, they will be rendered as dead as a vampire carcass doused in holy water, the ground around the body salted, with a stake through its heart, its head lopped off, and garlic stuffed down its throat.<\/p>\n<p>This could literally be a business-saving issue for a lot of people.<\/p>\n<p>The information inside certainly has been for me.<\/p>\n<p>And, for others I\u2019ve taught, too.<\/p>\n<p>But the deadline to get this issue looms.<\/p>\n<p>To grab it in time before I send it to the printer, go here:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>www.EmailPlayers.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ben Settle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWell, John wasn\u2019t exactly the boogeyman.
