We need a thread for gratuitous fun: Stuff that has nothing to do with marketing, business, copy, daily emails... but that is fun for fun's sake. (Even a little bit of fun is better than none.) I'd like to kick things off with the attached (and real, not AI) photo of a beaver, which I put in an email a long time ago, apropos of nothing. If you have jokes, funny pictures, memes, ideas for "disconnected infotainment," put 'em in here. On Fridays... or really on any other days.

- Bejakovic’s Crooked Line: There’s a strange type of proof which conventional sales pages never include. But when you use this strange proof the way Sam does, you build massive respect and trust. When you're methods are quoted as a bullet point you've really made an impact.

So I'm in the middle of creating my first offer and it's all about safely digesting unconscious experiences. I've been emailing my list daily and telling them to join the waitlist through the P.S. section. It's been three days since I've announced it and I've got 23 people on my waitlist out of a list of 430 people with my emails having an average open rate of 30%. Do I carry on with this approach? Honestly, I'm just replicating what I see happen in my inbox when I see another creator promote their waitlist and launch their product.

Hey @John Bejakovic ! SO STOKED today! I did a launch for my mid ticket digital course called “First Door Formula” this week… AND I MADE MY FIRST SALE!! $197 IN THE BANK PEOPLE! It’s SO COOL because I can and will continue to sell this content going forward! First of many Lord willing! Anyone in this ‘ere community in the real estate space wanna team up and do a list swap?

In another thread, @Susan Moore writes: === I've taken courses that I didn't finish. But the amount of studying I did do, combined with related unfinished courses, and my own work and life experiences has all added up to this cumulative knowledge and insight I simply would not have without my messy inclinations and unfinished courses. === In that thread, I had an example of a course I didn't finish or implement when I got it, but which still gave me an idea that ended up being useful to me years later. This got me wondering, have you had experiences like that? I mean, have you ever found... A valuable idea or tactic or strategy that you got from a course that you never never finished? Or an idea or tactic or strategy that you got from a course, which you didn't use at the time, but which you used and profited from years later? Or a a tangential idea that somebody dropped in a course or training, which you ended up using, even though it was almost irrelevant to the main thing being taught?
