How to have every Email Players issue ever published mailed to your doorstep free
Published: Tue, 01/05/16
“Demon Crossfire”
And, I’d like to get some reviews rolling in.
Thus, I’ve cooked up this offer:
Whichever one person writes the best review (criteria for what “best” review means below) that’s published by Sunday January 17th at midnight gets every single issue of “Email Players” I’ve ever published mailed to your doorstep.
That’s 53 issues — everything up to (and including) this month’s issue.
At $97 a pop, that’s a hard $5,141.00 in retail value.
What?
It’s 2016 and you’re feeling *especially* greedy?
You want — no, NEED — more?
Okay you greedy little bastard, you.
Then, as another “carrot” to get you to write a review (again, using the criteria below) that one winner will also get a free copy of my upcoming “Copy Slacker” copywriting product, too (when it’s finally ready for sale, hopefully next month).
I’m still playing around with pricing for that product.
But, I reckon it will cost at least $495 after it launches, maybe even as much as $795.
Wait…
Are you friggin’ kidding me?
That’s STILL not enough motivation for you?
Okay, then, on top of that, I’ll also give that one winner who writes the best (most helpful) review a brand new, “shiny” copy of my Crypto Marketing Secrets book — which is the entire 30-issue run of my former print newsletter “The Crypto Marketing Newsletter”. Each issue was $27, multiply that by 30 and that’s a for-real $810 value (retail value). This, too, is a physical book. And, it’ll be mailed with all your Email Players issues.
You do the math, my little droogie.
What the hellz… you also want me to do the math for you, too?
Fine:
That’s $6,446.00 in hard retail value.
Just for being the one who publishes the best, most helpful “Demon Crossfire” review by Sunday, January 17th at midnight.
More:
I will also gift the 2 best "runners up" reviews, too.
If you write the 2nd or 3rd best reviews (oftentimes when I put a call out for honest and helpful reviews, there are more than one I want to reward) I will send you the Copy Slacker product when it's ready (hopefully by early February).
Sound good?
Now, there are some important criteria for being the winner.
Read them very carefully before writing your review:
1. My publisher/editor Greg Perry (NOT me) is judging the reviews.
So kissing up to me, showering me with bribes, and telling me how I’m the sun, the moon, and the stars in your life won’t do you a lick of good as far as winning. Who wins or not is out of my hands. And I have zero say in the process to keep it fair and non-biased for everyone.
2. Your review must be published on Amazon by the deadline.
Sometimes it takes a day or two (or more) from what I hear for reviews to show, depending on the situation. So, I suggest getting started today reading it (if you haven’t already) or writing your review (if you have already read it) so you have plenty of time.
3. Your review must be honest.
What you REALLY think of it, not what you think Greg wants to hear. I have never met anyone with a more refined “BS detector” than Greg. Like Santa, he knows if you're being naughty or nice, he always knows...
4. Make your review detailed, clear, and helpful for would-be readers.
Write clearly and to the point.
(Whether you like or hate it.)
These are the kind of reviews that actually help people make a decision on whether they should get it or not, which is the whole point.
And to that end:
In the PS below is a review (for my first novel, Zombie Cop) that fits the bill for what Greg is looking for. Notice her review is from the heart and fits the above criteria (and there was no bribe involved to get her to even leave a review -- it was from the [beating] heart, so to speak...)
So that’s it, my deranged friend.
“Demon Crossfire” is a short and quick read.
Remember, to win your review must be published by Sunday January 17th at midnight.
When your review is published send me a link to it and I'll forward to Greg.
Good luck.

P.S. Below is that example I just mentioned of a review (from reader Shanika Journey) that fits the criteria from one of the other books. This way, you have an idea of what Greg is looking for. Notice the detail. The enthusiasm. The *helpfulness* of it to the would-be buyer, without giving away any spoilers, etc:

If you've read anything past The Walking Dead books, you realize that zombies are not an intelligent bunch in ANY story. It's the same in nearly every book. It's easy to kill a zombie unless you're either eaten by a herd or ran out of weapons.
But what if there's a situation where the zombies can OUTSMART you?
Not many books tell a story of about zombies who can put up a fight using brains and brawn - and you might NOT win the battle.
Which is why Zombie Cop is zombie horror fiction I was able to read through with no boredom.
It's Lesser Evil vs.Worse Evil in this book.
And reasons why both arrived to this doomed town won't be revealed to you until the chaos has gotten way out of control.
This book is pretty action packed, which I wasn't expecting. I didn't feel like any part was super long or drawn out. You get to know, understand, and see why everything fell in place the way it did. Each part is written with great attention to detail. Even the characters ideas and feelings from the experience isn't left out. This makes you feel like an observer more than a reader in many parts of the story. So your eyes will definitely be GLUED to read what happens next - especially in a lots of action and taunting scenes.
Ben Settle did a great job letting you see what life was like for our teenage hero and his friends in a quiet town BEFORE everything fell apart. How he introduced this small town altogether, along with some of its worst citizens, was actually brilliant. You got glimpses at what made these folks tick. Even the flashbacks throughout the story lets you see why certain characters felt hatred for some, and others were already sick in the head long before the zombies took them out.
Another cool part was the way zombie cop was introduced. To watch the officer struggle through his transformation in such detail... you kinda felt horrible for him. Reading his emotional struggle when turning and how it scared him before the hunger won over was pretty cool. I also liked that how the transformation brought his small army in the picture and their killing spree with a fast, but smooth pace. The death toll seemed to increase more and more quietly behind the scenes while the story kept going. So it was kinda fun to read what was going on with the hero and other characters while KNOWING that death toll was rising the entire time. The story felt like it NEVER stopped moving forward - even with the flashback pop up.
So what about the hero?
The hero's story is just as compelling as his enemy. However, there's a catch to shedding some of light on why he's the lesser of two evils - and the ONLY person to stop the zombie rampage:
You HAVE to read the book from beginning to end to see his full story. I gotta give it to Ben. It was very smart to reveal this boy's story in SCATTERED chunks throughout the book. I questioned the timing of why everything was happening while this kid just happened to be in that town.
But, again, the author had a very subtle way of explaining how everything was linked throughout the book. The hero's story doesn't fully plug its holes unless you read the book ALL THE WAY THROUGH. His "humble" beginnings won't be revealed until you're very deep into the story. But, you see the torment for being who he is at the beginning of the book. The scattering of our hero's story is very well thought out. This allowed you to see him grow (where necessary) in order become the fighter needed to beat the zombie army.
I HIGHLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK!
VERY FUN!
DEFINITELY WORTH CHECKING IT OUT!
2 reasons why I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars:
... 1) a couple of flashbacks starting in odd places for me. The skips are pretty small, so it won't really affect the book's pace as you read.
... 2) unfamiliar movie references. You can tell the author is a movie buff. Some movie references I could recall. A few I couldn't. Does it take away from the story? NO!! But if you never seen the movie he mentions, and a certain scene within it, you're not gonna know what he's talking about. It's a good thing many of scenes in the book stand STRONG on their own merit. At times, I felt like many of his references weren't even needed.
These are the ONLY reason I didn't give it a full 5 stars. So no big deal.
The book is a FUN read and a REFRESHING twist on the zombie horror genre.
I'm truly glad I had the opportunity to read it.
Glad these zombies had some real fight (and smarts) in them.
So, I hope we will get a follow this hero again in another story.
Great job, Ben Settle!

So there you go.
