stirring up the marketing incels
Published: Mon, 09/24/18
So, I have decided to reach into my righteous mail sack, and see what's what...
QUESTION: I was wondering... Does my email list size have anything to do with how I should price my products?
elBENBO: All that matters is (1) your ability to generate quality (as opposed to freebie-seeking do-nothing) leads and also (2) your ability to sell them. Do email my way and this is a non-issue if you mail consistently, every day, with an offer your list wants.
QUESTION: I am new to the email marketing game and I am having “writers block”... trying to email my list every day New and exciting content that they actually will open. Any suggestions to never run out of things to talk about?
elBENBO: If you have writers block with sales copy, you haven’t studied your market deeply or thoroughly enough. Do that, and any blocks will disappear.
QUESTION: How serious are you about [your "no coming back after leaving Email Players"] policy? I like Email Players, but I'm poor. What's my risk of receiving the ban-hammer for canceling due to finances? Thanks for your time.
elBENBO: It's $3.23 per day. It's not the price, it's you. Frankly, a lot of people would be better served replacing "can't" with "won't" when their rationalization hamster starts spinning about these things. Either way, once you leave, there is no coming back.
QUESTION: Do you EVER give away any information without my having to enroll!
elBENBO: You mean like the 200 free podcast episodes, free Email Players issue, and other free stuff I give away you clearly aren't using?
QUESTION: Do you have a daily reading routine? If so, what kind of material do you typically read and how many pages a day?
elBENBO: My daily routine begins with a 10-mile walk, then work, then eating, then relaxing, with reading happening at night before bed. As far as what kind of material — I tend to like to read biographies of the great men in history. Most recently, I am reading “Another Man’s War” by Sam Childers.
One more, to wrap this Q&A up — this one’s a comment not a question:
QUESTION: You're an unbelievably funny, hilarious sociopathic asswipe lol. We love to watch you make a fool out of yourself, to see what depths such a scumbag will go. It's amusing. It's human nature. You are an entertainer whose hobby is studying emails and your career is selling bullshit.
elBENBO: Nobody has ever called me hilarious before…
All right, that’ll do it for today.
The October “Email Players” issue goes to the printer in 6 days. It shows you how to take troll, smears, and attacks, and spin them into lots and lots of sales in your shiny, candy-like piggy bank. In fact, I am in a mastermind meeting right now, and just introduced myself as:
"My name is Ben Settle, and I troll hip hop artists"
And am going to share how I made out like a bandit last week trolling rapper Talib Kweli for my Write Supremacist Copy Slacker sale.
The point:
Don’t fear the trolls & marketing incels, stir them up and profit from them.
And the October issue will show you how.
