I updated the mission statement for this group. It now reads... "Email daily, make a $1k offer, pay for a house." Your thoughts? Doable? Suspicious? Exciting? Overwhelming? Lemme know. Thanks in advance.

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.")

I heard someone smart say yesterday, "we're not in a trust crisis... we're in a fun crisis." As in, folks just aren't having enough fun. What do YOU do for fun? Think about it for a moment, and then comment below. It will be good for your emails... for your business... and for your life. I'll start: Wordle. I tried to quit it. It didn't work. Why? Because it's fun.

... it might be worth sending out an email to promote the Dan Kennedy seminar recordings on Audible that @Anthony La Tour wrote about a few days ago. I was in the middle of moving apartments two days ago. No time or brain power to really write an email. I basically pasted Anthony's writeup into my own email, and hit send. So far, about $260 worth of Audible bounties on Amazon. (The regular Amazon affiliate program pays peanuts, but the bounties when somebody signs up for Audible are big.) Not "pay for a house" kind of money... but still nice for a single email. And if that's not enough, I had more people replying to tell me "thank you" for alerting them to this offer than I've had in weeks or maybe months.

Today is Thanksgiving... I live in Spain, so it's not a thing here. But my friend Sam (American) is staying with me. And since I am also American (kinda) we were thinking to baste and roast a turkey (unlikely) or at least get some turkey breast at the store and make a delicious sandwich (quite likely). How are you celebrating? Or are you celebrating? Do you have a picture of your turkey that you're proud to share? Or will it be a turkey sandwich day for you too? Or are you morally opposed to this holiday for reason that you want the world to know?
