This year, I got a couple DFY clients via my email list: One was a weekly-newsletter-writing gig. I just sent an email out to my list with the invitation. One qualified person replied, we talked, and agreed to work together. Another was an advertorial-writing client. I sent out an email saying I would write advertorials on commission only. A copywriter who's on my list offered to put me in touch with a business owner he knows, and that business owner turned into a client. But two random success stories is hardly a system. The fact is, I've gotten a handful of DFY clients via my list over the years... but I really wouldn't say I have a repeatable and ready way to do it. But maybe you do? Or you don't but wish you did? Or none of the above??? Let me know, I'll appreciate it:

I've been working on my cold-traffic funnel FOR MONTHS. First I created and then validated just the front-end offer... Then it was months of slowly building out the funnel... Then it took a few weeks just to actually be ready to go (always a million and one things at the last minute). I finally hit publish yesterday. Since then, I've had about $70 in ad spend... and this morning I got my first order, the front-end offer and both bumps, for $81 in sales. I have no idea how things will be going forward, but it's always great to get an early success to get addicted to persevering when things start getting rough later. I am reporting on this as my success story for this week. I would also love to hear your success story, big or small. Comment below or post it in a separate post so the rest of the group is more likely to see it.

Who here doesn't have Copy Riddles, and why????? That is THE JOHN B offer everyone should have... (Like... I'm literally growing my membership every month using stuff I learned in Copy Riddles.) So I'm curious... List your reasons!

This is called Daily Email House. But I know less than 10 people who are sending daily emails here. So, what's stopping you from doing that? Lack of offers? Lack of practice? Something else?

I'm curious what comes to mind for you when I say "most overused marketing case study of all time"? Have you heard some instructive story about a business or a brand a million times from a million different people? If so, what is it? I'm fishing for an answer here. Let me know what yours is, and I will tell you what mine is.
