Behold the word of the prophet who mocketh:<\/p>\n
“And at noon Elijah mocked them, saying, ‘Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is musing, or he is relieving himself, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened.'”<\/strong><\/p>\n
– 1 Kings 18:27<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
I do love watching a good mocking<\/em>.<\/p>\n
Once upon a time I took a comparative religions college course, where the teacher showed some of the mocking and sarcasm certain prophets and others did. <\/p>\n
The English language doesn’t do it justice.<\/p>\n
But, it’s there.<\/p>\n
And, it’s not “nice”.<\/p>\n
For example:<\/p>\n
If you translated the above scripture into modern vernacular it would probably read more like: “He’s either flaking out or taking a crap, or is on vacation, or maybe he’s passed out”<\/em>.<\/p>\n
Anyway my little droogie, here’s the point:<\/p>\n
Mocking (righteously) can be very persuasive<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
And in the upcoming September “Email Players” issue, I show you how to use the power of mockery to position yourself as the go-to voice in your market… to save your readers from buying inferior products, and, yes, to boost ye olde sales.<\/p>\n
(You’ll also have fun doing it, trust me…)<\/p>\n
Everyone’s happy.<\/p>\n
Everyone wins.<\/p>\n
And, everyone’s glad you did it.<\/p>\n
(Except those you’re mocking, they’ll hate you.)<\/p>\n
Anyway, she goes to print in 2 weeks.<\/p>\n
