    I am amused with some of the unsubscribe messages I receive as well. That one is pretty good!

            Thing is, I used my REAL name...AND a photo of a MALE gardener twice in the sales copy (...I don't look much like a gardener, so I used a fake photo!)

            I even addressed my autoresponder series using my real name,...and got the unsub about 3 whole weeks into the series

            I still laugh about it now.

              Lol. Steven, you should have stuck to that fake picture, you wouldn't scare so many customers and warriors anymore.

              and Bearded, email him back and ask how much he won. That is funny.

                    Now, what would really be funny is if it was a WSO and someone unsubcribed to Bearded with the "I never realized you were a man" excuse.

                    Actually, there's a good niche target audience right there. Bearded women!

                  Definitely not bad at all.

                  I recommend you use either a Tiger or a monkey

                  Those 2 work like a charm.

                    Yeah that is a good point Darren.

                    I guess we'll never know how many millions he won.

                          Wow. This thread really took off.

                          I didn't mail him back. I'm sure he's to busy counting his money. lol.

                          I worked in Human Resources a long time ago and had someone quit because she had won the lottery.

                          She had won $8000.

                          Nope, that is not a typo. She quit her job because she had won eight thousand dollars.

                          *shaking head*
                          Life changing money, right? Ridiculous. And i'm sure it was like a buck fifty after taxes.

                            I do not read the unsubscribe messages any more. At on time I did, but quickly realized they all said basically the same thing...

                            I will paraphrase a little here...

                            They all basically said. I am an overwhelmed newbie that is trying to learn from 200 different people and I choose to learn from someone else

                            or

                            I am an idiot and cant remember weather I stuck my head uo my own butt or someone else did so I am just going to call you a spammer even though I double opted-in and took your free gift.


                            That of course is paraphrased, but you get the point


                            "dont need it anymore i won the F$%KING lotto"

                            That is good though.

      Write some good copy about how most lotto winners are worse off 5 years after they win than they were before.
