I found the following email in my spam folder today: === SUBJECT: question Hey John, I’ve been on your list for a while, and something I’ve noticed with your emails is that you have a lot of material that could make great stories. Here’s the simple framework I use: **Story → Lesson → Offer** Instead of starting with the lesson, start with something that happened. Then connect the story to the lesson. And let the lesson naturally lead into the offer. I thought your email would work really well with this structure. Would love to hear what you think. === I checked, and this guy is not on my list, at least not with this name or with this email address. I feel this is a disguised pitch, but I don't know where it's leading. I replied to the guy just to see. Any ideas where this might be going?

Okay, besides our favorite here, Bejako, whose emails do you love reading the most?

Couple weeks ago, @Vasileios Apostolou gave me a nice testimonial that I turned into a promo this week, and made about $8k on. Today, I got a new subscriber to my list who apparently really doesn't like me (screenshot attached) I don't know yet how to turn that into money, but I'm thinking about it. And in the meantime, maybe it can turn into money for you. What offensive/irritating/stupid messages from readers have you gotten recently? Or what glowing/great/pleasant messages have you gotten? There's a promo or a new offer or at least an email hiding in there. Share what you've got below, and we can work on it together.

I just saw in an email that, starting August 1, marketer Josh Spector is turning his free newsletter into a part of his paid membership. I haven't been following Josh's emails lately so I don't know the bigger thinking/plans around this. But I'm curious if you have any experience selling "emails" in any form? Or if you have thoughts about putting a once-free newsletter behind a paywall?
