Shafin,

You're so right about affirmations that are unbelievable. I find that most people who create subliminal tracks don't seem to understand this and hence, their products are useless. Instead of "I am wealthy" they should say : "I am working every day toward creating wealth." Or instead of "I choose to become wealthy", "I choose to work toward becoming wealthy". We have to do the footwork to get anywhere.

Dan,

I would assume there was some of the standard language in 1shoppingcart's terms of service, or whatever they call theirs, saying you indemnify them for any loss of business due to things beyond their control. So they're covered. I had a hosting company screw me over and shut down my site based on a misunderstanding and they wouldn't do a thing. I had to quickly change hosts.

I like your idea of a new/repeat mailing, maybe offering a little discount to make up for the inconvenience. That might get the fence-sitters to commit.

Just don't make it sound like all the "gooroos" who send out a followup saying the response to their offer was so great it crashed their server and people couldn't order so they're extending their offer. Those crack me up! If they told the truth, they'd be saying: "The response wasn't as good as I expected so I'm extending the offer in hopes of making some money."

Dan,

You're so right with your comment that the majority don't handle their screw-ups well. I'd add they also as a general rule can't be trusted to do what they say they're going to do. It's not like it was when this old dude was young. I wrote a blog post on it sometime back that you might enjoy: http://man2woman.net/blog/to-do-or-not-to-do/

I'd love to do your webinar. The only problem I have with these things is they're usually scheduled at times when I'm at work. I'll check your details and see if I'll be available.

60%???? Wow! Now I see why everyone's doing it.

As to why people prefer video, I'd guess you hit in on the head (not butt) Dan, with the literacy thing. Or maybe other people are like me and are sick and tired of the long 10-pages-on-one-page online sales letters. Which sometimes are written by those lacking in literacy skills, making them seem even longer. Reading them is too much like work, along with being time-consuming.

I've never played around with Power Point or Camtasia but I've got them. Guess I should give it a shot.

Now this one's enough to make a grown man cry. The guitar I had before my Gibson was stolen from a house where my band practiced. You ready? It was an original white Fender Telecaster. I had paid about $100-150 for it, from a buddy who had gotten hold of an original Les Paul Custom. I didn't like the neck on the Les Paul, but it sure had a great tone! The Fender, on the other hand, was easy to play.

Woulda, shoulda, coulda. Buy the Eastman if you like it and NEVER let go of it!

When I bought that Gibson in about 1968 it was $500. Not sure I want to know what they go for now. :-) Worse, I wonder what an old L5 is going for!

Re: my website. Yes, it's something I'm interested in and it's related to the online business I've had for 8 years. I've been in the business of selling high-quality saw blades and thought, what the heck, might as well sell the saws too. Besides, linking to the new site from my aged, highly ranked site, can't hurt.

Dan,

I once owned a guitar that looked a bit like that one: Gibson ES175. SWEEEET sound! And sweet action.

On the Law of Attraction theme, I've figured out the advantage to all the visualizing and putting up a picture of what you want is it helps keep you motivated. That is, assuming you understand you need to WORK for what it is you want. The rest of it, especially the positive reinforcement, just keeps your focus on what you want (like opportunity) so when it shows up, you recognize it and grab it. And having a goal and craving it, gives you encouragement to figure out the HOW.

The part of the Law of Attraction that never fails is the getting what you focus on in life. I watch my 22 yr old daughter struggle over and over again but subconsciously, she likes her life that way. It gives her the opportunity to blame everyone else. And hey, that doesn't require any work!

15 years ago @ Doberman Dan - The Death Of Direct Mail? · 0 replies · +1 points

Dan, I think the biggest reason I don't like offers via email is I get just too damn many of them every day! From legit companies I've done business with and more from the gooroos trying to get me to spend my money to learn to make money. Yesterday I un-subscribed from 5 or 6 mail lists because they were all involved in the same giganto-launch. Gurus, hell! They're mostly just money suckers!

I wonder what would happen if someone sent out one of the "make money on the Internet" offers by snail mail?

When you think about what you said, that most people go through life believing things and not even knowing why, it makes sense that when you challenge their beliefs and their beliefs have no personal foundation, that they're going to feel like someone's shaking their tree. And that scares them. They're afraid they're going to have to dump the old programming and consciously come up with new beliefs. The 98% aren't willing or able to do that.
