Why I obnoxiously & aggressively force people to consume my content on their phones

Came a comment tonight:

You know man you keep saying that a smart phone is the best way to reach people but it seems very counter-intuitive to me. In fact it seems like you lose customers by not making things available to people without a smartphone that is " newer than when Steve Jobs still walked the earth."

I mean jeez man. What are you in business with Verizon Wireless or something? lol Not everybody likes smart phones Ben. I had to stop using mine because of my eyes. I just think it's kind of a weird stipulation, that's all. I love your work and your emails.

This is a lot like the old guy I once saw bytching in a Walmart about them not having their favorite movie in VHS back in 2006. I know there are a few people who stubbornly disagree with my making them have a phone to consume my digital content:

“Why don’t you cater to meeeeeee Ben?”

Because, Gramps, times are a-changing.

I don’t like it any more than you do.

I wish the world would stand still, and not change.

But the facts don’t lie.

And just like Apple pissed off a minority of customers by taking out the CD drive many years ago — seeing the writing on the wall — so we are doing.

If this loses a few sales, so be it.

But the engagement level on those who do buy, is off the charts.

I have never seen engagement & consumption like I’ve seen this past month when forcing people to consume content on the mobile phone — first with the Automation Magic product I sold, then with the Learnistic launch we did, and now this.

It’s not even a debate to anyone who has experienced this.

Which is why, those who don’t “see” this are not worth debating about it.

They can — as Troy Broussard likes to say — keep putting wings on a dinosaur, if they want, whining about why I don’t make this info available on their dorky little desktops which every single indication points to dying a painful death sooner than the dinosaurs want.

The point:

If you want my Bargain Bin of Bonuses 2 sale — a collection of bonuses you’d have had to collectively pay $2k to access over the last year otherwise — for just $20, you will need a phone.

And it can’t be a flip phone.

A rotary phone.

Or a phone where you needed to ask the operator to connect you.

Plus, the sale only lasts for about another 90 minutes.

Maybe even less, depending on when you see this email.
