Only “Mean” Comments, Please!
Thursday night the furnace went out. Woke up to a very cold apartment, being sub zero in the middle of a Canadian winter.
I ended up working with a jacket on, and my feet in a bucket of hot water.
Then Friday, the entire city had a power failure.
When the power came back up the internet went down.
So I didn't manage to get the TGIF audio online. My webmaster will have it up for Monday. It's a good one. My new born son Jonah helped me put it together, so don't miss it.
Received the following email that made me smile:
"I'm glad you ask for reader's comments. I do notice though that the only reader comments you seem to feature are ones you consider 'mean' and you take these as part of advertising material to prove just how 'wrong' such comments are. "
Wow, you figured out my plan: It's called dealing with objections. The products we offer at Reality Copywriting are here to help people further their copywriting career. If someone misunderstands something, it's my duty to point out the misconception, to help them make a wiser decision.
"At least you don't use the writers' names to really embarrass them."
Maybe they are embarrassing themselves.
You should see the real annoying emails that come. It's amazing how "tough" and "mouthy" people can get when hiding behind the comfort of their fake Yahoo email address.
"I might be wrong, there might be some comments of appreciation and agreement with reader comments, as I do not always read the newsletters word for word."
Sure there's plenty. Most people just notice the controversial and negative, that's all.
Check out the home page if you want to see some comments of appreciation.
Then in reference to free gifts from Dan Kennedy - she wrote...
"I've got to say I've taken up some 'free' offers lately; there were hidden costs and unauthorized 'subscriptions' taken off my credit card even though Paypal was involved. At least I can dispute this through Paypal."
Well, just because there are a few scam artists out there, doesn't mean you should ignore valid opportunities. Dan Kennedy is one of the most respected copywriters on the planet. He's also a millionaire. He has no need to scam anybody. His gift is generous. Free three month membership. Sure after three months if you don't indicate you want to cancel, you'll be billed for month four.
He's not going to just keep on giving it to you for free, forever. Not good for him, not good for you. People use and appreciate what they pay for.
Anyways, here are some "nice" comments from other subscribers who have taken advantage of Dan's offer...
-----
Dan Kennedy's CD’s Are Worth 10 Times The List Price
"I know you're not worried about whiners, and that you wanted something to write about. You and i know those Dan Kennedy CDs are worth 10 times the list price to someone willing to get off his or her ass and USE THEM.
"i have those free Dan K CDs, Brass Balls, aka Power and Influence.
"They're a part of his Renegade Millionaire program and they're really really good. I listen to those, his Wealth Attraction CDs, his Copywriting and Business Mastery CDs whenever I'm in my car, which since I'm a writer isn't often.
"David Chappelle"

I Can't Wait To Get My CD’s
"I certainly took advantage of the deal. Considering the cost of courses and the value of Dan's package, what it would sell for, I felt $20 was peanuts! I can't wait to get my CDs!!
Ciao,
Lana Figgs"

What The "Weeds" Have to Say
"Hey John,
"Just to let everyone know I received this free offer, and its worth the small fee charged.
"But you get out of it... what you get out of it. Your gonna have the "weeds" that are everywhere claiming its not worth it. Don't even bother with them.
"Best, Joe
"P.S. Enjoy your blog. Very inspirational , ready to launch my copywriting career... soon."

So wait no longer. Give the free gifts a try. If you don't like them, mail them to me, I'll send you $50 for the package, so you'll get your $19.95 back, plus some."

Capture, captivate, convert!
