And I need to do it again.
I signed up for an email newsletter that sounded pretty cool. This person has spent years interviewing and talking with well-known marketers and has asked them to share what they know. If you sign up, you can listen to the interviews for free and also read transcripts.
Sounds good, right?
This guy needs to pay closer attention to their professional advice, because I'm sure his tactics aren't part of it.
In the past couple of days, I received not one, but TWO emails from him asking me to call a number and wish his son a Happy Birthday.
Um, what?
So his son is going to get a gazillion voicemails wishing him a happy birthday? Gee, thanks, Dad.
If you've signed up for my mailing list, you'll notice I haven't sent you anything yet. And that's because when you signed up, you expected to hear from me when a) I release a new book, and b) if I'm offering a free book.
That's it.
I should probably give this guy a break, but my email box gets so crowded -- doesn't yours? -- that I have to slash and burn anything that doesn't truly support what I'm trying to do, professionally and personally.
Time to purge my email subscriptions again.
After that, it's on to the junk mail I get in my actual mailbox. How DO I get on all these catalog mailing lists, anyway? Sheesh.
