“Don’t ask questions like that up in wine country they’ll think you’re some kind of dumb shit”<\/strong><\/p>\n

You might get a kick out of this.<\/p>\n

(I surely did…)<\/p>\n

Anyway, a guy on my list asked how he could stop receiving emails. His inbox is too full as it is he said, and he no longer wished to get my newsletter. Because I’m a kind, helpful soul, I made the laborious task of scrolling down his email and finding the “unsubscribe” link and clicking it for him.<\/p>\n

But, then I noticed something.<\/p>\n

The dude bills himself an “email expert.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Really?<\/p>\n

And he can’t even unsubscribe himself from an aweber list?<\/p>\n

It reminds me of a college professor I had.<\/p>\n

My major was Radio\/TV.<\/p>\n

And the professor (not a career teacher, a REAL teacher, who actually owns a few radio and TV stations, he just teaches for fun) got angry with the class shortly before graduation.<\/p>\n

What set him off?<\/p>\n

A dumb question.<\/p>\n

In this case, one of the soon-to-be-graduates asked him what the difference between AM and FM radio.<\/p>\n

(Something you learn on day 1).<\/p>\n

His response?<\/p>\n

“How can you people accept a diploma from this university and not know the difference between AM\/FM radio?”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Heh.<\/p>\n

And so it is\u00a0online.<\/p>\n

Anyway, if you’re ready to take off the training wheels and learn\u00a0how email is really done, check out the “Email Players” newsletter.<\/p>\n

I show you real emails I use in my businesses.<\/p>\n

All analyzed.<\/p>\n

Explained.<\/p>\n

And served up for you to model.<\/p>\n

Actually, this is not exactly true of the February issue\u00a0(practically all other issues, yes, but the February issue, no).<\/p>\n

No, this next issue is special.<\/p>\n

There are no emails to study.<\/p>\n

No examples to look at.<\/p>\n

But, it is, word for word, some of the most profitable (and useful,\u00a0for your non-business personal life) advice I can ever dispense.<\/p>\n

And, it goes way beyond just email.<\/p>\n

Come and get\u00a0your love here:<\/p>\n
