You don't expect us to believe you made 27 cents just because you said so, do you? Especially as fast as you claim.

I clicked on the thred coz I could relate to it. Back when i first started IM i would put those hours in for less profit than that. Caused by jumping from idea to idea and never finnishing any of them.

Somebody asked if $2/hr was an ethical wage to pay someone. Employing myself for hundreds of hours work and zero income isnt ethical.

Humans are naturally intrigued by negative statements. Didnt Frank Kern play on this a while back with some product he launched. After that my email inbox was swamped with subject lines like "Frank Kern Sux" "Frank Kerns new product is a scam" bla bla bla. People are more intrigued to know why he sux rather than why hes so great.

My theory is that these headlines tend to work great for two reasons because it brings out the dry humor side and that "inner chuckle" or the flipside to those who are looking for the reinforcement that XYZ won't work

I presume about 99% of warriors are the first theory where the inner laugh and dry humor side of your marketing mindset/personality comes into play

ROFLMAO!

Guys: the secret to twenty seven cents in 128 days method is simple. Provide one cent of value to one person every other week. Rinse and repeat until your goal is met.

I would recommend providing 27 cents of value to one person but you don't want to overextend yourself, especially when you are just starting out with this "system".

Or you could just scan the coin return at snack machines until you find a quarter and two pennies which could easily take you 128 days.

This thread was just a pre-launch for my new WSO 100 ways to make 27 cents in under 200 Days! It's normally priced at a dime but will only cost a nickel for Warriors for a limited time!!

In any case thanks y'all for the kind words and proving this little experiment a success.

For those who said: "it's a good idea but won't sell"...or "open rates don't increase conversions"

I just want to remind you that the purpose of the subject headline is NOT to sell. It's to get them to read the email. The more people that read the email (ALL OTHER THINGS BEING EQUAL!) you WILL sell more of your stuff.

Great stuff Mike, at almost 1000 views so far within practically no-time, you have proved your test works... very well in fact.

After seeing what everyone wrote in their replys, I was just thinking, if you did use this particular tactic as an email campaign, I would definitely include a hilarious story... the comedy factor definitely works.

Give them a laugh, then show them the offer...

Same reason why restaurants give you the bill after your stomach is full and you're feeling good, satisfied, thats when they hit you with the bill...

Keep sharing how it's going & what your plans are with this...

It's a related idea for sure. But FK didn't really give too many specific examples on how to do it which led to everyone sending out emails that said "Bad news". People have trouble tying that in to the actual offer. So here's a way you can get that "Bad news" effect in your own creative way without being misleading.

Yup. This is what we call in the business the "Wow. What the heck!" factor.

On this this headline it's a 9. Tellman Knuedson's emails are a 10. And most of the other threads run somewhere between a 4 and an 8.

People not reading your emails? Work on your "Wow. What the heck" factor and your problems are solved.
