Ryan,

I stopped getting torqued up over rude emails the day one "customer" ordered my ebook, then ten minutes later sent me a note that read: "I bot your book but it suks - give me a g___ d___ refun. Then eat sh*t and die."

Man, you just gotta laugh.

Hahaha... Jason from A4D put it best. Don't remember the exact wording or the link... but it was something to the effect of...

Want to look HOT and SEXY?
(try acai berry) <----jk

or.....

Our mission statement, blah blah, we have a great product, and you love us.

Writing copy is easy when you understand it.

@:
Awesome stuff Joe!

Ryan, is your message a polite way to say F### off Jefferey. That's what Jeffery deserves! Awesome stuff brother as always!

Kiwi down under,

Ryan - Great copy is defined by copy that gets the persons attention, keeps it, and finally sells them. Since your business is primarily based around you and your personality, writing any other way would be a turn off. Keep being yourself and keeping it real.

Now if you go to market to English professors, you should probably write differently :)

Ryan,

that guy's email reminds me of a couple of my favorite 'overeducated nursery rhymes' of my youth...

Propel, propel, propel your craft
Smoothly down the liquid solution.
Ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically,
Exisistence is merely an illusion.

and...

A triad of myopic rodents - a triad of myopic rodents;
Observe how they perambulate - observe how they perambulate.
They all persued the agriculturist's spouse
Who removed their caudal appendages with a carving utensil.
Have you ever witnessed such a spasm of events in your era?
A triad of myopic rodents.


I wish I knew who to credit these to, but they've been locked in my head since I was a kid! :-)

I have no earthly clue what that guy from the e-mail was saying. It "chaps my butt" when people talk and you words they want us to understand, but have no idea what they mean themselves....

The problem was that the guy that wrote that email probably has not gotten any since Jimmy Carter was president.

Rogers has a point that some people are really sticklers for grammar.

We love you Ryan although the missed made you shave your goa tea and I highly doubt 1 poorly written email will send you to the poor house or back to the old days when you were in the Bronx.

Peace man,

Nii
p.s.- Hey if you were in the Bronx we would be neighbors again
Enjoy the movies

p.p.s- Father's day is coming up...I better see Bruce on a BLOG post or give him a HUGE shout out

What a great point Ryan! I personally find this to be true for marketing clips on you tube. There are a lot of viewers who post comments that don't have anything to do with your content or are sarcastic at best.

Ha! That was great! At least his email had entertainment value. : ) You wonder how much of life someone misses out on when s/he focuses and worries so much about what others are doing wrong.

Great stuff Ryan- you should write the same way that you talk-some people are just an old stick in the mud-that dude sounds very anal.

Ryan bruddah, your response was supposed to be.....

"A sphincter says what??"

peace bruddah!

very funny, some people do care more about being right than making money....on another note (and not to sound like your anal email guy) but what happened to you in the video at 26 seconds???? you stopped and restarted, was that intentional?

Yes, "infelicities" probably doesn't belong on a squeeze page, but you don't want to say what you don't mean, and you also don't want to come across as careless. Getting things like "fewer" and "less" (or "you're" and "your") correct won't hurt your message, and you'll appeal to a wider audience (ahem readership). Getting the details right is a sign of professionalism that can only enhance your image and authority. You don't have to be boastful about your carefulness, but every time you make an error in the basics you drive away _someone_ with money.

My guess is Jeffrey is going thru life with a permanently chapped butt. Some people just don't know how to lighten up.

~Dave

Chapped butts, pedantic buttresses and infelicities?! THAT was FUNNY :)

Sounds like that guy has a case of "I'd rather be RIGHT than be RICH!!!!!"

ps... I can't remember whether the quotation marks go on the inside or the outside of the exclamation marks, so please excuse me :-)

@:

I think it may be your speakers.... There's no background noise at all. :-)

Great post Ryan. That email was hilarious.

terribly loud background noise~could BARELY hear what Ryan was saying!

Great video Ryan! Hey bro, hit me up at smitty [dot] diesel @gmail.com. Wanted to run something by you.
