One of the benefits of having a business haunted by drooling-on-the-carpet trolls, slanderers, liars, reply guys, and other assorted bums is you can learn a lot about yourself, your beliefs, values, philosophies… and even what you didn\u2019t even know you teach\/advocate.<\/p>\n
For example, according to my trolls apparently I teach people they:<\/p>\n
1. Must always have to be funny & lighthearted in emails, even when writing about serious topics<\/p>\n
2. Should never, ever put images in emails and that images \u201cdon\u2019t work\u201d<\/p>\n
3. Always need to make their emails plain text<\/p>\n
4. Have to use my \u201cstyle\u201d or sound like \u201cme\u201d and do things exactly like I do them<\/p>\n
5. Must avoid ever using mega headlines (20+, 30+, even 40+ words)<\/p>\n
6. Have to make all their products physical (no eBooks, membership sites, etc) and are way better off with paper & ink books and newsletters<\/p>\n
7. Should avoid ever taking on clients for any reason whatsoever<\/p>\n
8. Have to tell a story in every. single. email.<\/p>\n
9. Absolutely have to be a \u201cshock jock\u201d of some kind and pick fights with everyone<\/p>\n
Who knew?<\/p>\n
I certainly don\u2019t remember writing any of the above.<\/p>\n
But there\u2019s been no shortage of low IQ trolls claiming as such.<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.<\/p>\n
I am also reliably informed that:<\/p>\n
I hate women (don\u2019t tell Stefania!)\u2026 have a \u201cscarcity\u201d mindset due to my policy of not letting people come back to Email Players\u2026 am a Republican who is a slave to Fox News\u2026 am a psychopath (just not a very \u201ccharming\u201d one, according to one troll)\u2026 I\u2019m desperate for sales\u2026 I lack \u201cproof\u201d and \u201cresults\u201d in my emails\/sales copy and they\u2019re all hype (they never actually show any examples of this, of course)\u2026 I use a lot of profanity in my emails\u2026 and, most recently, that I am racist (* gets out KKK grand wizard robe\u2026)<\/p>\n
And so the troll drum grunts on and on and on.<\/p>\n
I lose track of it all at this point.<\/p>\n
Mostly I only hear about it at all due to my loyal SettleHeads letting me know via screenshots, forwarded emails, etc as I am on very few lists these days, nor do I haunt Facebook outside of the BerserkerMail Mead Hall group and a couple local groups\u2026 (I have it set up so nobody can friend or message me).<\/p>\n
All of which has been admittedly good for my business\u2019 box office gross.<\/p>\n
These trolls have helped my business thrive in ways I never could have on my own.<\/p>\n
And so I believe it can almost certainly be with your business.<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t have people talking shyt about you, gossiping like little girls about you, lying about you, spreading rumors about you, and clout-chasing by whining about you with all their loser friends joining in inside an echo chamber\u2026 then I suggest trying harder.<\/p>\n
Because you\u2019re are very likely leaving a lot of sales on the table.<\/p>\n
These trolls are absolutely a gift.<\/p>\n
They can potentially send you all kinds of free traffic, customers, and clients.<\/p>\n
With daily emails it’s easy to profit for trolls.<\/p>\n
Just learn how to write emails in a way people like to read, build a fanbase, when some low IQ troll attacks use it as content for an email to make sales.<\/p>\n
You might even thank them afterwards.<\/p>\n
They are, after all, sending you money.<\/p>\n
