Hey Ben,

When I went to your blog… a message popped up stating website certified by unknown authority...

Thought you might want to know.

Ps. I do know my marketing doesn’t suck, but I wish it did.
I wish it sucked in opt-ins by the100s or 1,000s. I wish it sucked
in new orders by the dozens daily. I wish it sucked in new JV partners
faster then President Bush can say something stupid.

Paul, thank you for your sustained support, for letting me know what's going on with certifications, and for speaking up and blogging your comment. You rock! I understand the yearning to hear the cash sucking sound of a six or even seven figure day. Yours is coming...

Riddle me this:
I'm getting emails asking me what a Lounge-inar is. I thought that was self evident. guess not...

Ben,

I want to thank you for your crazy and thought provoking emails... If you are asking if my marketing sucks - I have to say it does... but it still makes money:)

I gladly invite your most scathing critique's - as that is what I do to help others improve their marketing.

Also, I wanted to let you know that you have created a phenomenal brand for yourself (at least for me).

However, i'm pissed that I can't contact you... (I know, I know, I'm not an "infomarketer" or a "guru") All your email adresses that I have seem to bounce, you create a new blog every other day just to prove a point...

I'm not a auditory person, so haven't been attracted to the calls with you and Tellman Knudson, and I have no idea what seminars you attend.

You're leaving some dough on the table for us "kinesthetic" people...

In fact, on my list of to-do's was to do a blog post on you, so it would come up in your Google alerts, but I've been a bit busy :)

Sincerely,
David J

mail and then you add a dot com, however, i'd prefer to keep our conversations public virtually at all times

that cool?

your writing on applied research is insightful. well done. you are a student of the real definition of semantics, the study of meaning over time
