In another thread, @Gc Tsalamagkakis asks about email stories, like the equivalent of social media updates: "Like, I have a cool new update about something coming up, but I don't wanna write a whole ass email to my list about it + I might already have a different email programmed for the day." About that, I already have my emails scheduled for this week. So let me try a Skool story. I have been almost completely away from this group for the past week because I have been on a boat in Greece. Mostly without reception. And in any case away from the computer. I gotta admit, it's been great! Photos attached for proof. ⛵🌊🇬🇷☀️🧿🐬🍉🍷⚓🏝️😎🐙🔥🛥️💸🌞🧜‍♂️🐟🍾🌬️📍😵‍💫💙 #BornToYachtForcedToWork #HellenicMainCharacterEnergy #SponsoredByTzatziki #MarinaMenace #DrunkOnOliveOil #AegeanSeaEmotionalSupportProgram #CertifiedIslandHopper #HydratedByOuzo #AncientGreekInfluencer #ZeusTakeTheWheel #FloatingTaxWriteoff #NoLandlordCanReachMeHere #MykonosMentallyDelusional #SailFirstAskQuestionsLater

What's your favorite ridiculous, fun, or parody song? Comment below with a link to it on YouTube. (You can find mine in the comments below.) And if you want to know WHYYYY I might be asking you this pointless question... I wrote an email once about how even entertainment gets boring after a while, if it's the same kind of entertainment. So baseball team owners introduced fireworks to juice audiences beyond just what the athletics could do... A Croatian pop singer (possibly) leaked a sex tape to get more interest and sympathy than her singing alone could do... And I'm taking a break from our ongoing sports-like teaching tournament to talk about music. Same for you. If you've been giving people interesting anecdotes, or analogies, or any other form of infotainment over and over in your emails, that's good... ... but you need throw in a changeup among all the fastballs. Such as for example, working in some pop culture, in the form of your favorite ridiculous, fun, or parody song. So list yours below, and then, for bonus points, work it into your email today.

Time for the Episode 2 of the reality TV show known as Daily Email House! As you might know, last month I ran an auction here in Daily Email House. It went purty good. The winning bid was $31k. The winning bidder was @Nick Bandy, who I endorse for President and also to guide you to bigger, better clients and more stability. All that was Episode 1 of Bejako Reality TV. In the aftermath of Episode 1, I had a number of people reach out and say... "Yeah auctions are good and all, BUT what if you're not auctioning off custom, unique, done-with-you stuff? What if you've got, say, a course, which has infinite copies? How do you auction that off, huh? I could tell ya. But I'd rather show ya. And that's why I'm gonna hold: Episode 2: An EVERYONE CAN WIN auction! Along with people asking me how to auction off courses and such, lots of people asked me to create a course on how to run an auction. To everyone who wrote me that, I said that will not be happening, because that course already exists, and it's the course I myself followed in running my auction. And combining those two ideas — a course on how to run auctions, and an auction for a course — we get the main plot line of Episode 2. Here's what's on offer: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1. The "24 HOUR FUN AUCTION" training ===> This training was originally ONLY available inside Travis Sago's $2k/year Royalty Ronin community ===> I followed Travis's training STEP BY STEP in running my own auction, and Travis's auction secrets are absolutely responsible for this auction going up to $31k the way it did. ====> Everybody else who you might have seen running an auction lately is following this same blueprint — because it works! 2. My own notes on Travis's "24 HOUR FUN AUCTION" training ====> I went through this training twice: once before my auction, and once after the auction, with new understanding. I'll share with you everything I think is key in this training 3. Everything I learned from my own auction (51 points)

Happy New Year! I found myself at midnight on the couch of my apartment watching The Good, The Bad & The Ugly for the first time in 20 years. (Screen capture included.) Maybe foreshadowing of my coming year? How did you celebrate? And where did the New Year find you?

Welcome WELCOME The pool party is ON. You can find the margaritas and soft drinks over in the corner... ... the DJ has set up and is playing already... ... and after you've had a chance to dip yourself in the pool, and as the party heats up... ... perhaps you'd like to also take a look at this little offer I am making? The offer in a peanut shell: I am offering to take the winning bidder — let's imagine it's you — and... 1. To give you a NAME and credibility on the Internet, along with MY FULL ENDORSEMENT, and... 2. To DRIVE MY RESPONSIVE READERS to the optin for your list, and... 3. To work with you and co-create a SEXY ACQUISITION FUNNEL (free giveaway + paid thank-you page offer), which you can use to build up your email list AND make money on day zero by turning new subscribers into buyers right away, plus... 4. I'm guaranteeing, with my two hands, that if you win this auction you will MAKE BACK 100% OF YOUR MONEY before I'm done endorsing and promoting you. Again, I will send out a dedicated email to endorse you and your offer, and to drive my audience to you. If you don't recoup all your investment with that first email I send, I will keep sending more dedicated emails, for as long as it takes, to promote and endorse you until you do recoup your winning bid. (If needed, we will also keep working together to tweak your funnel to make sure the right people sign up AND turn into buyers.) That's the little auction offer I'm making, for you to consider while you baste in my pool. I'm also offering a few POOL PARTY FAVORS if you happen to win the auction: 1. Wine and tapas on me whenever you get to Barcelona. (I know a good place around the corner from my new apartment, in the Gothic quarter. Once you finish with the pool and dry off, we can head over there.) 2. A list of newsletters you can run ads in, so they drive their own readers to you, and so you can keep growing your list at breakeven or at a profit, regularly, month after month. (And yes, you can approach these newsletter owners and tell them, "John Bejakovic already endorsed this offer... and his audience loved it.")
