(Like Brainy Smurf always saying, “Papa Smurf always says…”)<\/strong><\/p>\nAnd they just quote, quote, quote, without context.<\/p>\n
For example:<\/p>\n
A little while back, a Dan Kennedy fanboy tried busting my ballz (unsolicited advice, he didn’t even think it wise to ask questions first) about not offering a guarantee, even though doing so has increased my profits.<\/p>\n
Another example:<\/p>\n
One DK fanboy nagged me about not using testimonials.<\/p>\n
Again, it was unsolicited advice.<\/p>\n
(They LOVE giving unsolicited advice.)<\/p>\n
And if he’d bothered asking, he’d have known the ad he had heartburn about performed better without testimonials.<\/p>\n
(Remember, assuming makes an ass out of you, not me…)<\/p>\n
Look.<\/p>\n
I don’t know if this is ALWAYS the case with ALL of them.<\/p>\n
But the ones I’ve dealt with only know how to parrot.<\/p>\n
So while they can quote Dan Kennedy chapter by chapter and verse by verse, they rarely think an original thought for themselves.<\/p>\n
It’s always:<\/p>\n
“Dan Kennedy says…”<\/p>\n
To which I retort:<\/p>\n
Wtf cares what Dan Kennedy says.<\/p>\n
What do your own results say?<\/p>\n
If doing something contrary to what Dan Kennedy teaches makes you more $$ are you going to stop doing it?<\/p>\n
That’d be nutzo.<\/p>\n
Which brings me to the best part:<\/p>\n
Dan Kennedy is the FIRST person to tell you all marketing “dogma” is bad, and not to blindly believe it.<\/p>\n
His stuff included.<\/p>\n
I guess, they must skip over that part…<\/p>\n
Anyway.<\/p>\n
Gotta love them Dan Kennedy fanboys.<\/p>\n
Never a dull moment.<\/p>\n
Until next time…<\/p>\n

First, let me say one thing… I’m a BIG Dan Kennedy fan. I have read most of his books, really enjoy his teachings (and have profited immensely from them), and even think his print newsletter is almost as good as the “Email Players” — www.EmailPlayers.com — newsletter. (But really, what is…?)
