Couple weeks ago, @Vasileios Apostolou gave me a nice testimonial that I turned into a promo this week, and made about $8k on. Today, I got a new subscriber to my list who apparently really doesn't like me (screenshot attached) I don't know yet how to turn that into money, but I'm thinking about it. And in the meantime, maybe it can turn into money for you. What offensive/irritating/stupid messages from readers have you gotten recently? Or what glowing/great/pleasant messages have you gotten? There's a promo or a new offer or at least an email hiding in there. Share what you've got below, and we can work on it together.

My WordPress site apparently has close to 2k users, none of which I've created, all of which seem to be created to hack into my site. (Screenshot attached. Just found this today.) Has anybody had this problem before? Or do you have any advice for me?

Have you seen it? Have you not? What did you think? Do you refuse to see it? I went to see it Saturday. As per usual, I have some online-business-related takeaway I can make about it, but I'd like to hear first what you thought, or didn't think.

Yesterday, I posted a poll here in Daily Email House. I got some responses but not many. That's my fault. I fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is, "Never run a promo without a deadline." But only slightly less well-known is this: "Never sell a rock hammer when you could be selling escape from Shawshank prison." So let me ask you, how would you apply that to the following hammer-centric copy I wrote yesterday? What would you write instead to suggest escape from the prison folks are in? Think about it and post it below. Not only will you be enlightening others here (and me) but you will be getting valuable practice for the next time you are promoting something. === HAMMER COPY STARTS HERE === I've been thinking it would be fun to run a 9-word-email challenge here in Daily Email House. Basically, send out a 9-word email to your list, and along the way: Get help and feedback from me and everyone else here on your initial email and followup messages... Report on the results and get more feedback and help... Celebrate any wins with the group, possibly with a bottle of champagne. Is this a challenge you would participate in?

I just saw in an email that, starting August 1, marketer Josh Spector is turning his free newsletter into a part of his paid membership. I haven't been following Josh's emails lately so I don't know the bigger thinking/plans around this. But I'm curious if you have any experience selling "emails" in any form? Or if you have thoughts about putting a once-free newsletter behind a paywall?
