Yesterday I wrote a post about unwritten rules that strengthen groups. That post got... 10 likes and 5 people to comment, in a group of 483 members. Maybe it was a particularly bad or irrelevant post. In any case it seems like a good time to talk about written rules. I recently joined a Facebook group. The group is about the same size as Daily Email House, but it's much more engaged. People are enthusiastically introducing themselves in the group as soon as they join (as did I)... ... spontaneously writing up new posts and starting new discussions all the time... ... commenting on others' posts all the time. How? Simple. The group has written rules stating that you have to introduce yourself when you join, and participate once you're inside, or you will get kicked out. And the moderators follow through on these rules. What do you think about that? Please comment below. Or don't. But I've decided to start doing the same: Periodically and randomly and brutally removing people who don't participate inside Daily Email House. Your choice.

UPDATE FOLLOWING VITRIOL WEDNESDAY: Thanks to everyone who participated. For 24 hours, we roasted, very mildly, the winner. As promised, the Vitriol Wednesday post and all the comments have been deleted to protect the vitriolic. Frankly, it's not an experiment I plan to repeat... but it was worth doing one time. ***** In another thread about joint group projects, @Robin Timmers suggests: "Let’s all verbally attack the same guru." Let it never be said I don't take member suggestions seriously or that I don't implement them quickly. So at the risk of completely going against the vibe of this community, and of poisoning the well of promising future relationships forever... I designate next Wednesday "Vitriol Wednesday," where we can all pile on and say nasty things about some guru who really rubs us the wrong way. But who is that? Who should we pick? Who do you ☠️LOVE🐀? Cast your vote below, and as always, it will influence reality

What's the one thing that, if you could get rid of it, would catapult you to success in the next 90 days? I asked myself this question yesterday. As usual, I didn't have a good answer. So I made a list of 10 possible answers (actually ended up 11). I personally found some interesting stuff at points 9 and 11: #9. Lack of focus on the things that have made me money, and doing more of that, instead of experimenting with new things all the time #11. Lack of followup with people who have expressed interest in an outcome What's your one thing (or 11), that, if you could get rid of it, would catapult you to success in the next 90 days?

I'm curious what you think: Why do sales calls typically convert at 20%-50%... ... while sales pages typically convert at 2%-5%? If you had to put it down to just one thing?
