You seem like a cross between Alec Baldwin in the movie GlenGarry-GlenRoss and Nine Inch Nails.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I REALLY dig that comparison.<\/p>\n<p>(If you&#8217;ve seen the movie you know why&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>This next piece of marketing lovin&#8217; is especially cool.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s from the co-founder of the #1 company on ClickBank.<\/p>\n<p>(i.e. the biggest distributor of digital products on the Internet).<\/p>\n<p>And, here&#8217;s what he sent:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;Hey Ben &#8211; (this is Joshua Pellicer) I just wanted to acknowledge you and thank you for giving Jim Clair a shout out in the email you sent out. he came to me with no copywriting experience less than a year ago (maybe 8 months or so?) and now he&#8217;s doubling conversions for our upsells and basically carrying the company on his copywriting skills &#8211; not least of which are the emails he sends out &#8211; which are in my voice and are very impressive. He&#8217;s a better copywriter than I was when I wrote the Goldfish VSL with Jon Benson. Thanks very much for supporting him like this.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Next&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Some lovin&#8217; from website reader Misha Miller.<\/p>\n<p>She says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;Your book Copywriter&#8217;s crib sheet was recommended on my kindle and the sample copy made me buy it. You gave away the first 8 chapters filled of great, straight-to- the-point tips. Nobody is ever that generous. Really appreciated the one about using negativity to your advantage. I bought it to see what other great things could be done in the name of copy. Thank you.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Finally&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a fat one from Email Player Patrick Williamson:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;I just wanted to thank you&#8230; not just for the training and the philosophy of what you do, but (maybe) more importantly for the fact that you&#8217;re the ONLY marketer in my inbox every single weekday! Nobody else has pulled that off. Not even close. At this point, I can&#8217;t imagine you NOT being in my inbox every weekday. Just wouldn&#8217;t be the same without you \ud83d\ude42 That daily reminder of your existence and the common sense you&#8217;re trying to instill in the internet marketing industry on a daily basis has made ALL of the difference in the world. Persistence, alone, is omnipotent, and you&#8217;ve proven that maxim and lived it to the hilt with your daily emails. My hats off to you, Ben!&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Anyway, the point of all this?<\/p>\n<p>To stroke my ego?<\/p>\n<p>No&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to show off my &#8220;harem&#8221; of recent marketing love mail.<\/p>\n<p>And, tempt you to look closely at &#8220;Email Players&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Subscription info 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>Change of plans today.
