Something a bit different – now will it work?
Today I did my email a bit different and violated some of the “rules”. Will it work? That is the real question and the answer will show up soon. That is one of the nice things about the internet – speed.
So I was different – here is the email
Subject – A 4 letter word that may not be bad?
Just a few quick things today that I have found
that can help you and be prepared because
sometimes I use the 4 letter word. You have
been warned.First Dr Mani has a new report you can grab
with no opt in just go and download it. Well
worth the time to read it.WARNING: This report may cause you to have
to do some of that four letter word WORK but
only if you apply it and if you do you will benefit.http://mikepaetzold.com/likes/multiply
Second that crazy friend of mine Robert Plank
who Twitters me telling me I suck and he rocks
just launched Time Management On Crack.http://mikepaetzold.com/likes/tmoc
I bought it last night and ended up reading the
whole thing and started applying it immediately.Some really great tips and easy to apply. The follow
through may be a bit tough but then you get back
to that dang 4 letter word again.It is a dime sale format so the price is rising as he
sells more copies.Final thought for the day – Got some strange tweets
over yeterdays blog post including this one from
Joel Osborne“Thank you @MikePaetzold for not calling me stupid
http://tinyurl.com/dzczvx “Sometimes doing something different can create a
bit of a stir. What have you tried different lately?All for today – have a great one and don’t be afraid
of that 4 letter word – It can improve your business.To your success in 2009.

Couple of things here that you are usually told to avoid like multiple items in the same email and using that dang 4 letter word work. After all people don’t want work they just want the easy button even though we all know that you need the work.
So what do you think? Will this work or won’t it? Do you even care about documenting experiments like this? Let me know in the comments. Will talk about the actual results in a couple days.

Hi Mike,
Not sure, but I was still curious what that 4 letter word was.

There you go ruining a perfect day by mentioning that bad word. See what I get for following and reading your blog. Now I am apt to go and follow what you have written and do that 4-letter word. Boy what a way to bring a guy down. But thanks for the information really appreciate it.

Wow Mike,
I can’t believe you used THAT 4 letter word!
Nobody wants to see that. How could you!
BTW: I have tried the multiple items in the same e-mail on several (OK, actually most) occasions. Funny thing is, it usually works better for my list. Still haven’t figured out why other than I can cover more areas for the different interests of the people on my list.
One other thing I have tried on the same note, and that is putting a summary of the different links at the very bottom of the e-mail.
Curious to see what your results are.
Thanks,

Great advice Mike!
I think many of us marketers get stuck into doing what we see everyone else doing, and therefore aren’t different and we don’t stand out.
