How to steal other affiliates' lunch muhney
Published: Fri, 06/17/16
"will mailing the 'Email Players' way
get me a lot of spam complaints,
get me ending up in the junk mail folder,
get slapped by my auto-responder...?"
The answer?
How 'bout I let others answer it.
(Keep it a bit less biased.)
Here are some comments from a thread on Facebook about this a while back:

Since my list has gotten used to me emailing them in the EP
stylings, complaints have virtually ceased. Seriously, night n day
from before.

Nicholas, I'm new at this, too, and everything has gone just as Ben
predicted. Lots of initial unsubscribes, a few spam complaints, but
now things have settled down, and I'm getting excellent response
from my people (and sales). Felt a little intimidating to jump in
and do it, but there are so many positives, I'm glad I did. Good
luck!

Last year I sold the Titans of Direct Response DVD's.
And, if you were on my list, you might remember I sent 17 emails out between a Thursday and that Sunday —with 8 of them being on that Sunday, which even other hardcore mailers I know were in awe at how I got away with it.
Wouldn't people opt out in droves?
Wouldn't I get a ton of spam complaints?
Not even close.
In fact, I looked it up and had ONE spam complaint.
That was it that entire weekend.
And it was from some blue light special crying to me saying I was committing "list abuse", which is just idiotic considering he can delete or opt-out at any time. Brian Kurtz was so happy with the results he said he hoped his other affiliates would do half as well. (Since then, it turns out I beat out all his affiliates at the time, losing only to Glazer-Kennedy whose list was 10 times bigger than mine, but even in that case I had a way higher overall conversion rate). It's not unusual for me to beat all other affiliates like that (when I have the time and the offer is right) when I mail using my secret "formula" for doing affiliate marketing with emails — like with Ryan Levesque, when I walked up to all his other affiliates once and gleefully stole their lunch money (affiliate commissions) by out-converting all of them too…
So anyway, that's that.
To sum up?
My favorite cartoon Dexter Abraham put it best when he posted this on Flakebook last week:
"I've never seen a single example
of less emails equalling better relationship with customers
and increased sells..."
^^ Agreed.
The trick is doing it right.
Most people do not do it right.
Most peoples' emails are the opposite of how to do it right and, yes, that is probably why they suffer the slings and arrows of making no fortune with emails, get themselves banned, and are riddled with spam complaints.
There's an art and science to this.
It's what I teach in "Email Players".
And, I can teach it to you, too.
That is, if you qualify, at least.
I don't just let anyone in and I sure as hellz don't like people who roll over when the going get's a bit rough.
