Why I almost pity businesses who use Mailchimp

“@MailchimpAbuse
- did you know you power white nationalist Stefan Molyneux's email newsletter? Molyneux promotes eugenics, race science and "men's rights" activism.
Can you look into this please?

Mailchimp’s response:
“Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We’ve terminated this account.”
The point:
The cancel-culture psychopaths are out in full force.
And it is simply more proof that it is getting hairy out there with all these de-platformings - which happen even without proof of any actual wrong-doing, other than outrage, blatant lies, and radical self-projections from the social media idiot mob looking for that almighty virtue signal.
It's also proof an entire business can go under with the push of a button.
And if you’re anywhere politically to the right of AOC and use Mailchimp, I’d be especially aggressive about backing up your data if I were you. After all, they’ve demonstrated they are willing to cancel an account based on nothing more than a slanderous tweet to their abuse account.
Speaking of Mailchimp:
The #1 world leader in email marketing automation Troy Broussard has quite a bit to say about them in his Automation Magic course, as well as his opinion on many of the major players in the email platform space — including Infusionsoft, Ontraport, ActiveCampaign, HubSpot, ConvertKit, AWeber (HINT: there is a reason I have used aweber for 17 years straight...), and Drip. He gives both the upsides and the downsides of these platforms (to be fair, none are perfect, nor do any of the claim to be), which ones he recommends for which kinds of marketers, and even real-life horror stories about them he’s experienced with the various platforms over the years.
Very useful info if you use any of the above platforms.
And, in many ways, it’s useful even if you don’t.
The deadline to get this course for a mere $20 is tomorrow at midnight EDT.

“elBenbo’s Swiperoscope Saga: Part 3”
These videos contain nearly 2-hours of word-for-word analysis of 5 emails in my private swipe file, put under the proverbial “microscope”, that have had the most direct influence on my own email writing.
Here’s a small taste of what’s inside these videos:
* The secret email (originally written way back in 2006 by an online info publishing pioneer) I use each month as a “template” to sell Email Players and other subscription-based offers.
* Exactly what to write in an email when you are not sure how to transition from telling a story to asking for money.
* How a former bank owner-turned affiliate marketer pulled off selling a $997.00 PDF eBook via short, blatant sales pitch emails each day. (And to the tune of selling a dozen or so per month — quite possibly the best business model ever invented!)
* A completely “unorthodox” way to give free information in your emails while also selling at the same time. (Perfect for the “give value!” social media mush cookies and sob sisters scared to death of selling.)
* What you must do if you think you are an internet tough guy or boss lady swearing & cursing in your emails... and want to sail through Google’s aggressive spam filters.
* An intelligent way to “swipe” and not sound like one of these idiot copywriters on Twitter always trying to sound cool or “clever” by ripping off how I word my emails.
* The world’s only official email marketing workout routine: How to burn calories while writing… and do it without moving a single muscle other than your typing fingers!
* A powerful “twist” you can put on your opt-in forms that turns on would-be buyers, while repelling non-buyers who will just complain and clog up your list.
* A slick way men can use to pick up women that also works like a charm to “pick up” more sales in your emails.
* A secret website (hosted in Switzerland) that contains a large “stash” of video trainings from one of the most prolific writers who ever lived! (You can access these videos today for just $5, and they teach some of the most practical and profitable lessons I’ve ever seen about writing, breaking into industries, building a customer avatar, and a slew of other writing topics.)
* One of the best examples ever created for how to “bake” infotainment into your emails.
* How my alter ego “elBenbo” got created. (This part probably won’t add anything to your life, but since a handful of people have asked over the years, here you go…)
* The real reason so many 20 & 30-something men are suffering from horrifyingly painful prostate problems & secksual dysfunction. (Nothing at all to do with email writing — but could possibly be a life-changer for younger men who hear it.)
* The Bible prophecy secret for sending blatant sales pitch emails people enjoy reading and buying from.
* A mental trick used by Olympic athletes to prevent tensing up before competing... that can also help eliminate struggling with what to write in your emails.
* How a group of brilliant “Mad Men” copywriters used cringe-worthy typos to make more sales in their advertising.
* A powerful subject line technique (perfected by a direct mail copywriter from the 1970’s for getting junk mail opened) that can radically increase your email engagement.
* A “school yard psychology” trick boys instinctively use to get the attention of girls that can make it hard to resist clicking your email links.
* An admittedly weird way (often used by one of the greatest biz opp email marketers who ever lived) of using the dash key to make plain text emails more engaging and easier to read.
* A one-sentence “crash course” (directly from an old school newspaper bureau chief-turned-world class direct response copywriting coach) about how to word sales copy to seep right into your prospect’s psychology.
* The best kind of questions to ask an indifferent or aloof client when trying to close him over the phone or in person.
* An old Jim Rutz (one of the single highest selling A-list copywriters who ever lived) trick for making it easier for people to keep reading your copy than to stop reading!
* How to create a unique “celebrity” persona for your emails from scratch.
* A brilliant email delivery tip that almost forces Gmail to love delivering your emails.
* A tried-and-true email call to action that is perfect for selling high-ticket products and events.
* A psychological trick (used by two of the most profitable copywriters in history) for drawing people into your email and other sales copy.
* A “dignified” way to use shaming to make your emails far more responsive and profitable.
* The most obvious way ever invented to prevent “ad blindness” to your emails and other advertising.
* And a whole lot more.
These bonus videos contain information about writing emails I have been selfishly keeping to myself for over a decade. But they’re all yours for $20 with Automation Magic if you grab it by tomorrow night’s deadline.
