Let’s rap about testing.<\/p>\n
If you listen to various goo-roo orthodoxy, they’ll brag and pound their chests about how they just “test their way to success.” As if learning the solid fundamentals is beneath them and just throwing up A\/B split tests is the best thing you can do, yada yada yada.<\/p>\n
I won’t say this is totally without merit.<\/p>\n
After all, even a broken clock is right twice per day.<\/p>\n
But it’s a terrible foundation to build on.<\/p>\n
Why?<\/p>\n
Because if you don’t have the fundamentals down, then you’re just testing two turds against each other and seeing which one doesn’t stink as bad.<\/p>\n
In the end, all you get is a less stinky turd.<\/p>\n
And, as a wise person once said…<\/p>\n
“You can roll a turd in powdered sugar, but that won’t make it a jelly donut”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The point?<\/p>\n
By all means test!<\/p>\n
Test your sales letters.<\/p>\n
Your opt in pages.<\/p>\n
And your lead generation ads.<\/p>\n
But don’t SPURN the fundamentals.<\/strong><\/p>\n
When it comes to email, I can teach you the solid fundamentals in about 2-3 hours in the “Email Players Playbook” that comes free with your subscription to the “Email Players” newsletter.<\/p>\n
May is a good month to jump on board, too.<\/p>\n
Why?<\/p>\n
Lots of reasons.<\/p>\n
