My WordPress site apparently has close to 2k users, none of which I've created, all of which seem to be created to hack into my site. (Screenshot attached. Just found this today.) Has anybody had this problem before? Or do you have any advice for me?

You voted! The response was... lukewarm! But while we wait for @Nick Bandy's poll results to turn into a magical new offer... while @Maliha M is mulling over a new auction idea... and while @Svetoslav Dimitrov is riding around on his tractor... ... I've decided it's time to run the highly teased, mildly anticipated 9-Word Email Challenge!!! Forget about the 9-word email for the moment. This challenge is really about getting you out of any of the following grimy and depressing prisons: - Failed promotions and offers that nobody wants - Spending tons of time to write emails, and they still aren't making sales - Having a list, and knowing you should do something with it, but it's such a chore - No opens, no clicks, no replies - An old list that's either gone to sleep or died - No money, and rent is due We'll do this challenge bit by bit to make it easy. Today is Day 1. Step 1. Very easy. Simply ask yourself: ====> 1. What do I wanna sell as part of this challenge? It could be your own coaching or services. It could be a course or membership you're selling, It could be a custom offer you're going to be putting out and want feedback on. It could be an affiliate offer. IMPORTANT: The 9-word email is a handraiser campaign that starts an email conversation that can naturally lead to a sale. That means you want people to reply to the email, and you will then have to interact with them 1-1. Normally, a 9-word email is used to sell something sizable, which justifies the 1-1 contact and the time and effort that requires. A low-ticket offer can make sense, but only if you have other reasons for promoting it than the sales you're making. Otherwise you'll probably just want to send folks to an order page. KEY TO MAKING STEP 1 WORK: Make your offer specific and concrete. Don't say, "copywriting services." Do say, "story-based advertorial an ecom business can just drop into their cold traffic funnel."

I’m sure John will cover it soon enough but the original 9 word email template is Are you still interested in (getting outcome)? Look at that again…. Outcome Not buy my thing. Their outcome: Are you still interested in weight loss coaching? ❌ Are you still interested in losing 25 lbs before Thanksgiving? ✅ Are you still looking for a carpenter? ❌ Are you still interested in having a new kitchen installed before September? ✅ Are you still looking for a realtor? ❌ Are you still looking to buy the apartment overlooking Johnny B’s pool? ✅✅✅✅✅ What outcome do your prospects want…. Nail that and you’ll get 5x more replies Thanks for coming to my rant

I got a DM on Skool yesterday. It came from a dude I've never talked to or heard of. He's in a group I am a member of, though I've never ever participated in it in any way. Here's the message the dude sent me: "Hey John, saw you in this community. What are you focused on these days?" I did not respond. Since we've recently been talking about opening up qualified conversations with short messages... ... what are some reasons that this short message (including the 7 word question) was not an effective conversation starter? Think about what you would tell this dude. Write it down in a comment below to make it clear for yourselves and others in the group. And the next time you want to start a conversation, you will have a 100x chance of doing better and avoiding some of the traps this guy fell into.

Yesterday, I posted a poll here in Daily Email House. I got some responses but not many. That's my fault. I fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is, "Never run a promo without a deadline." But only slightly less well-known is this: "Never sell a rock hammer when you could be selling escape from Shawshank prison." So let me ask you, how would you apply that to the following hammer-centric copy I wrote yesterday? What would you write instead to suggest escape from the prison folks are in? Think about it and post it below. Not only will you be enlightening others here (and me) but you will be getting valuable practice for the next time you are promoting something. === HAMMER COPY STARTS HERE === I've been thinking it would be fun to run a 9-word-email challenge here in Daily Email House. Basically, send out a 9-word email to your list, and along the way: Get help and feedback from me and everyone else here on your initial email and followup messages... Report on the results and get more feedback and help... Celebrate any wins with the group, possibly with a bottle of champagne. Is this a challenge you would participate in?
