Why I Unsubscribed from Ben Settle

by discrat
6 replies
Having learned a lot from this cat, I figured it was time to move on.

I know a lot of people here will disagree and thats cool.

But its like his Unpredictability has become well,,,,,too predictable.


Does that make sense ??

He is a Master of Shock and Piquing the Minds of his Subscribers.

Has great points which have lots of insight. And he is highly successful

But to me personally, every email that has a Subject Line that is controversial and an email copy that is controversial...it just gets old after awhile.

I think changing things up with your List keeps things fresh. Keeping a balance and knowing when to be in your face and when to not is prudent .

For me at least.

    I am on Ben's list myself and I would not totally agree with you.

    Well of course everyone's get unsubscribe but doing what works and keep to it is usually the only magic formula I need.

    But of course if you found something that works better for you, congratulations!

    That is definitely what matters doing something that works

    Well every list has its "sameness". If you subscribe to Bob Bly or
    Dan Kennedy they believe in a calendar cycle of emails. So next
    year you'll more than likely receive the same email the same time
    of year.

    Another "spoiler" is when the marketer teaches you what he is
    doing so the "mystery" is not there anymore.

    What's more, marketers are the first to get of tired being marketed to.
    This is not in defense or support of Ben but an attempt at explaining
    the seeming "staleness".

    if discrat is drama queen then ben is drama king.

    He never miss the oppurtunity like this to create drama and profits from it.

    Top marketers like Dan Kennedy will just laugh off.

    No wonder ben cannot make to the list of top marketers.

    I agree with discrat, ben just keep on recycle his few tricks .... nothing worthy to learn after a while ...

    Will ben create another drama from this again. let see ...
