But, one movie we watched has been invaluable in my emails today. It features an email tip that can make your emails kick gluteus assimus and stick out like a hippie at a gun show.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s the name of the movie?<\/p>\n<p>And, what&#8217;s the tip?<\/p>\n<p>Well, the movie is called:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>&#8220;A Clockwork Orange&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Apparently, it&#8217;s one of the first X-rated movies.<\/p>\n<p>But, it&#8217;s not &#8220;porn.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s violent &amp; disturbing.<\/p>\n<p>But it ain&#8217;t pornography.<\/p>\n<p>The ratings system was simply different back then.<\/p>\n<p>(Another story for another day.)<\/p>\n<p>And guess what?<\/p>\n<p>In the next &#8220;Email Players&#8221; issue, I explain the extremely profitable email secret I learned from it (which I use in most of my emails &#8212; even THIS email you&#8217;re reading), and how you can easily profit from it, too.<\/p>\n<p>But it goes to the printer next week.<\/p>\n<p>So time is short if you want in.<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe here:<\/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>Ben Settle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wow, bullet points really CAN make people nutzo&#8230; Yesterday&#8217;s email included a bullet that said: A &#8220;G-rated&#8221; email tip straight from one of the first &#8220;X-rated&#8221; movies ever made.
