From Negative to Positive
I've recently started to venture into the land of email marketing. It's a scary place to go!!!
Anyways, I've been working on creating a follow-up series, which is definitely still in the very rough draft phase. However, I do have it live, so new subscribers are actually getting the emails after they sign up.
Anyways, today I got an email saying a lead had unsubscribed. I was a little bummed, but when I opened the email and saw his comment I was actually kind of hurt and disappointed. Here is the email:
I know it is super minor and probably shouldn't be something to worry about, but I still felt a bit upset that he said my hard work and hours of thought and typing were just a waste of time to him.
Then I remembered a few things.
1. The internet is filled with mean spirited people. Whether we like it or not, a lot of people become really mean behind the screen. They will say things behind the veil of the internet they would never say to you in person. You and I can't take these things personally because a lot of times these people are simply trying to get a reaction.
2. There will always be haters and people who are going to push back against what we have to say. I'm promoting WA and realistic ways to make money on the internet. If he doesn't want to hear what I have to teach him, then it's his loss and he'll just have to learn the hard way! What he probably doesn't realize is that time is exactly what it takes to be successful. Just merely by the fact that he said reading the real way to make money online is a waste of time tells me he's not going to find much success in his ventures.
3. I'm going to prove this guy wrong! I hope he stumbles back across my site in a year or two and discovers just how successful I have become doing exactly what he thought was a "waste of time".
Anyways, to Impatient Stephen Who Thinks Building An Online Business The Right Way Is A Waste Of Time, I wish you success, but I'm afraid you're not going to find it with that mentality!
Rant over!

P.S. I'm hoping to have my next Bi-Monthly report up by the end of next week. Teaser: It's been my best two months yet!

Hi Kirby,
I think you handled that rather well.Multiple kudos. Now that you have laid out the template, next time just say ditto and save some time. Or you could say to yourself what my father--a US Navy admiral--used to tell me, "Never engage in a peeing contest with a skunk". Good Post, thanks.....Dick
Hey Kirby :D (cool nickname),
Don't get to flustered about this guy. He's losing out not you.
Can't wait to see your new report :)
Esteban
Definitely right man! Kirby is actually my middle name, nobody calls me that but I've always liked it. So I decided to use it as my "online persona" so to speak.
Hi Dustin
Nice to see you again - it's always a pleasure!
There will always be knuckleheads out there, and sometimes they can be cruel. Pay no attention, they have much bigger problems with themselves - hopefully they'll figure them out one day.
Can't wait to read your coming update.
Hope you and your beautiful bride have been well!
Hey. Thanks a lot! Yeah, the internet does weird things to people haha
Hopefully, I'll get my update out soon. I just have a tough time getting content on my site, so WA stuff really takes a back seat. My goal is by the end of this next week though!
One person's meat is another person's poison. Keep moving Dustin ... for me following what you are doing is NOT a waste of my time. I have learnt a lot from you and will continue doing so. I make sure that I never miss any of your blogs - if I were to run out of time to read them I would manufacture the time. Wishing you massive success.
I'm still working on my intro series, well you're gone live with your email marketing.
Yes all people think researching strange and it's certainly not for all people working with affiliate marketing.
It is probably also the most essential reason that many never begin to study in WA even though they know it

That's the correct attitude bro. This is a time when life throws you a lemon so make lemonade with it
I love lemonade! Especially on hot days like today ;)
Haha. Yeah!
Haha Ensure Stephen gets a taste a year or two down the road. He might well need it
