More sales<\/strong> (isn&#8217;t that reason enough?)<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Sets the tone you&#8217;re in business<\/strong> (and not a charity)<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Gets your solution into more hands<\/strong> (isn&#8217;t that what it&#8217;s ultimately all about?)<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Saves money<\/strong> (contrary to what the Internet marketing igits say, you want high unsubscribe rates, especially if you have a lot of website traffic)<\/p>\n<p>There are many more, of course.<\/p>\n<p>Probably dozens more.<\/p>\n<p>Now, there is a bit of art &amp; science to this.<\/p>\n<p>The key is knowing how to do it in a way where you don&#8217;t freak anyone out or come across as just another affiliate or goo-roo looking for a &#8220;booty call&#8221; (figuratively speaking).<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s where I can help.<\/p>\n<p>Getting away with pitching is my speciality.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s something I&#8217;ve gotten VERY good at (modestly speaking&#8230;) via writing thousands of emails total for multiple different markets selling all kinds of various products.<\/p>\n<p>And guess what?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m teaching this in the July &#8220;Email Players&#8221; issue.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s gonna be a doozy, too.<\/p>\n<p>There ain&#8217;t nothing more profitable than knowing how to blatantly pitch in an email in such a way where people not only don&#8217;t mind, but actually love reading it (and, yes, buying from it).<\/p>\n<p>Wanna see how it&#8217;s done?<\/p>\n<p>And, how you can do it too?<\/p>\n<p>Complete with a couple real life examples?<\/p>\n<p>Then at the risk of blatantly pitching you&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Go here to subscribe:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.EmailPlayers.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>www.EmailPlayers.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It goes to the printer soon.<\/p>\n<p>No time for dilly-dally&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Ben Settle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s with this anti-blatant pitch attitude online?
