Dear Friend,<\/p>\n

A brief marketing lesson today… and a request for a small favor.<\/p>\n

BTW, this isn’t my regular post for the week. I’ll do that in a couple days. (It’s probably gonna ruffle some feathers!)<\/p>\n

Anyhoo… here’s the marketing lesson…<\/p>\n

There is almost nothing more powerful than strong social proof. People are STRONGLY influenced by what “the crowd” is doing or saying.<\/p>\n

And today, I’m going to attempt to generate some for my own personal benefit.<\/p>\n

Selfish S.O.B., aren’t I? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Here’s what it’s all about:<\/p>\n

A REAL book publisher with several NY Times best-selling authors on their roles has asked me for a book proposal.<\/p>\n

They think there’s a market for a book about my experiences with my mentor… the late, great copywriting legend, Gary Halbert.<\/p>\n

So instead of just little old me pitching them the idea that there’s a market for this book… AND… I’m the right guy to author it…<\/p>\n

It Would Make 1,000 Times
More Impact If YOU<\/em> Told Them!<\/strong><\/p>\n

So while I’m scribbling away at my proposal (with yellow pad and pen, remember?)… if you’d like to see a book authored by by yours truly and published by a well-respected publishing company… could I please impose upon you to add a brief comment below?<\/p>\n

If I DO land this book deal, I promise you this…<\/p>\n

I’ll do my best to make it one of the most valuable (and entertaining) marketing books you’ll ever add to your library.<\/p>\n

MUCH more valuable… with many proven techniques that REALLY WORK… than most of the ripoff $2,000 courses sold by the IMGOBC (Internet Marketing Good Ole Boys Club).<\/p>\n

Please… if I’ve ever provided any value to you in any way over the past several years… would you please post a comment below to show the publisher you’d be interested in buying my book about Gary Halbert?<\/p>\n

If not… that’s OK, too.<\/p>\n

I appreciate you reading this… and I really appreciate having you as a subscriber.<\/p>\n

Seriously… your comments and support… and dare I say love… are quite humbling to me.<\/p>\n

All the best,
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
