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?

The following is entirely not related to email, but is just fun, at least if you consider etymology fun: I found out today that the names of two of our new moderators, @Nick Bandy and @Svetoslav Dimitrov, and probably hundreds of other House members, all have a common origin. Article with the details below. But basically, all Indo-European languages (cultures?) seem to have a tradition of names formed by combining two words: Svetoslav = Holy + Glory (I'm guessing here since Svet's name is Bulgarian, but it's close enough to Croatian) Nicholas = Victory + People (apparently "nike" and "laos" in Greek) German, English, Sanskrit, Farsi and presumably Albanian all have names, many names that follow the same pattern. Apparently it's not a coincidence, but dates back to the times when the ancestors of all Indo Europeans rolled around on the Pontic steppe. There was a name-giving ceremony for newborns back then, and part of the ceremony was this two-part name structure. As the article below says, this is not permission to name your child "school-bus." But somehow I found it fascinating and insightful, because it pulls together all these seemingly disconnected facts from the modern world.

What did you do last week that just... worked? I'll share mine in the comments.

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?

I'm Lhincoln, 25 years old, from Brazil (🇧🇷), and I recently became a dad (the best title I've ever earned). I've been working with email marketing since late 2021. During that time, I've helped build email lists with over 500,000 leads and learned one thing that has become almost an obsession: A lot of what people call copywriting today... isn't really copywriting. It's recycled formulas, "secret hacks," and short-lived tricks dressed up as strategy. I prefer a different approach. I believe great copy builds relationships, earns trust, and drives sales without relying on gimmicks. This year I decided to narrow my focus and work exclusively with eCommerce brands. My job is pretty simple: help online stores increase revenue through email copywriting. In many cases, we generate an extra 10–30% (or more) in revenue within 21 days by making better use of an asset they already have but rarely maximize: Their email list. I joined this community because I enjoy connecting with people who take copywriting seriously and are always looking to sharpen their craft. Looking forward to meeting everyone 👋
