Work in Progress Wednesdays... What are you working on? Doesn't have to be complete... Doesn't have to be majestic... Just real. What's your current project? Or what's on your todo list for today?

Valentine's Day is tomorrow... do you have a date? Or maybe less heartbreakingly... Do you have a Valentine's Day launch or promo planned for your list? I mean, some cool, deadline-based offer, and a sequence of emails, which can bring in an extra $5k... $15k... $25k over the next week? If you don't, what if I were to create such a launch for you? And what if I did it in such a way that you would be GUARANTEED to make way more money than you pay me? Yes? No? And if you think Valentine's Day is a little too tight to be realistic... ... there's plenty of other launch-worthy occasions coming up: - February 16. World Whale Day - March 8. Daylight Savings - March 14. Pi Day - March 23. National Puppy Day Interested? Not interested? Let me know below:

I got a message a couple days ago from @Michael Silk. Michael wrote: === I have just seen a post on LinkedIn and the post starts out.. "I just became CEO of a 10M ARR Tech Scaleup. What can you do for us? Comment with your one liner below." (The post set some rules beyond that and how if he was interested he'd get back to people, but that was the main part of the post). === Michael thought I could do something similar here in Daily Email House. The tone of the "10M ARR Tech Scaleup" CEO isn't really my style... but I think the idea is sound. In fact, I already did something like this here in Daily Email House, almost exactly a year ago. Michael's message reminded me that I should do it again. So lemme ask you: What can you teach? What's something you can put a presentation about for people inside Daily Email House? Maybe you just enjoy teaching and are always ready to do it. But maybe you need some better reasons. Here are a few: 1. You can float an idea here and gauge in a low-stress, low-effort way whether there's any value in pursuing it further. 2. If there is interest, you can get my feedback, input, and help into organizing your presentation, or even organizing it into a product. (I'm offering my feedback, input, and help both to encourage you, and to make sure any presentations will be of high-caliber and valuable for other House members.) 3. If you do give your presentation, you can use feedback from the group to polish and improve what you're teaching, so you can then turn it into a paid offer (or a free lead magnet). 4. You can get ready testimonials or even case studies from people here. 5. Though I make no promises about this, if you do turn a presentation into an offer, and if I feel it's a fit for my own list, I would love to promote it, and help you get sales and more exposure. 6. Maybe by teaching something valuable yourself, you encourage others inside Daily Email House to teach something valuable as well, which ends up benefiting you and everyone else down the line.

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.")

A few people have expressed skepticism about the "use your email list to pay for a house" bit, which features in the mission statement of this group. I've been open from the beginning what this means: In most places in the U.S. and around the world, you can cover your monthly rent or mortgage payments with around $3k. $3k/month is very doable with an email list, in a quick period of time. Thing is, "make $3k a month" isn't really all that sexy of a promise. But "pay for a house" is. You wanna see how sexy? A couple weeks ago I moved to a new apartment. I have a large terrace, and on the terrace... I have a pool. (Photo below, Christmas-themed Bejako for scale. The owl is there to scare pigeons away. It doesn't work.) My pool is about the size of a refrigerator. No matter. It's the first place I've ever lived that has a pool. And it happens to be part of my own apartment, in the very center of Barcelona. My email list paid for this, and continues to pay for it month after month. You too can do the same, and the point of this group is to help you get there. By the way, I'm using my new pool as a jokey theme for the auction I'll be running starting tomorrow: POOL PARTY. You're invited to the pool party. The time: Tomorrow, Wednesday December 10, at 6pm CET/12 noon EST/9am PST Place: right here, inside Daily Email House. Bring your inflatable flamingo float.
