Got this response to yesterday’s email.<\/p>\n
(About how giving away products free doesn’t help anyone.)<\/p>\n
It’s from “Email Players” subscriber Joe Gilder.<\/p>\n
And, it perfectly illustrates my point.<\/p>\n
Preach it, brother Joe…<\/p>\n
There was this in-person $1000 workshop I did earlier this year. We had 7 spots, and we gave away one for free to build up some buzz (and a sublist).<\/strong><\/p>\n
The guy who won the free seat bailed on the event at the last minute.<\/strong><\/p>\n
‘Twas free, so he had no real reason to commit, and therefore it wasn’t valuable to him at all.<\/strong><\/p>\n
ALSO…you give away a free pdf issue to every website subscriber, right? I was subscribed for 6 weeks before I joined EP. I DEVOURED the free issue you gave away, and went through with a checklist and did at least 2\/3 of the email types\/subject lines you suggested.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Once they worked, I decided you were indeed not full of poo, so I signed up. Almost a year later, and I more than doubled my income from last year, and last year was a REALLY good year.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Thanks again, and MERRY CHRISTMAS.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Awesome stuff.<\/p>\n
Just goes to show APPLYING the info is key.<\/p>\n
If Joe just let the issues build up in a corner in his office to get to them “some day” (as if it’s a chore) or complained about information overload (instead of making it a priority so info overload isn’t an issue) he’d be missing out on a lot off coinage, yeah?<\/p>\n
It’s so, so, so simple.<\/p>\n
You subscribe.<\/p>\n
You read.<\/p>\n
You apply.<\/p>\n
Joe and I profit from the info.<\/p>\n
And so do a lot of others.<\/p>\n
