One guy (a friend of the goo-roo this guy was competing against) flat out told him not to bother, and that he was wasting his time.  <\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah?<\/p>\n<p>Well, he launched anyway.  <\/p>\n<p>And no&#8230; he didn&#8217;t outsell the goo-roo (not even close).<\/p>\n<p><strong>But he still kicked gluteous rumpus.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In fact, from what I understand, he got emails from customers saying things like, <em>&#8220;there were 10-15 affiliate emails about [Mr. Goo-roo&#8217;s] launch. You were the ONLY email I read.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Pretty cool, eh?<\/p>\n<p>It didn&#8217;t matter that he lacked the goo-roo cape and tights &#8212; he cleaned up with his own list and made lots of the green stuff, anyway.<\/p>\n<p>So why am I telling you this story?<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s the point?<\/p>\n<p>Because it&#8217;s a perfect example of why you don&#8217;t have to be a guru (or even a <em>goo-roo<\/em>) to make out like a bandit in your niche. If you know how, you can EASILY monetize even a small list with short emails that build trust and set you apart from everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, even from ye olde gurus.<\/p>\n<p>It ain&#8217;t rocket science, either.<\/p>\n<p>Frankly, it&#8217;s <em>easy<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>And if you&#8217;d like to see <strong>EXACTLY<\/strong> how I do it with my own small list, then check out my Street-Smart Email system &#8212; <strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.StreetSmartEmail.com\/500\" rel=\"noopener\">www.StreetSmartEmail.com\/500<\/a><\/strong> &#8212; today while it&#8217;s still $500.00 off.<\/p>\n<p>This is my entire system on a <em>plate<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s designed so you can be up and writing profitable emails in less than 5 hours.
