Hey, everyone!!

Some days you just have to laugh. Granted, to an outsider, that laughter might sound a tad bit hysterical, but whatever. 

The upside of being self-employed is that you are...self-employed.

Unfortunately, that is also the downside....

This past week was one of those pull-your-hair-out-where-is-that-IT-guy weeks where you remember that YOU are the IT team....ooopsss...

And while I was dealing with tech and computer issues - MailPoet suspended my account - AGAIN - for a S--M complaint.

The interesting thing about MailPoet is that they won't tell you who the complaint came from so you cannot pull up your records to prove that every person on the list subscribed. This pretty much means that any jerk has control over your business...

So I finally made the full-on dedicated leap over to BirdSend, with Mailvio as my secondary. And interestingly - one complaint yesterday but BirdSend lets you see who hit that button - and yes, she had subscribed, so I was able to share those stats 😉

No, they are not perfect, but they have made a lot of improvements since I had last used them, and I think they are very useable, and - but this goes a long way towards protecting your business and putting the control back where it belongs - in your hands!

My deliverability is way up as well - looks like I hit a lot more Yahoo boxes than I have in a long time, too!

And if you are caught in the middle of one of the big company's price hikes - BirdSend starts at $9 for 1,000 subscribers and unlimited emails, month to month with a 7-day trial 😉

A side note: The company is also affiliate marketing friendly and grandfathers you in at the price you joined at as long as you are a customer 😉  >>> BirdSend

And tomorrow I will share my story of why I almost left my host BigScoots...and why I am probably NEVER leaving them LOL! These guys are rockstars and after this week - I am going to adapt to their system, no matter what it takes 😉

I will also have more gifties for you as I continue to clean out my Dropbox account LOL

  • Kevin Fahey's Million Dollar Warrior

    One of the things I like most about Kevin is that he doesn't leave things out - you don't have to buy a dozen upsells to get the stuff that was left out of the main offer...Does he have upsells? Of course, because he is a good marketer, but they are products that expand on and complete the core product, but you will be just fine if all you ever buy is his main offer. This is a step-by-step overview of his own systems that have generated $$$$ for him on WarriorPlus - and I cannot tell you how many times he has hit the top spot on the Leader Boards - but he makes bank and I have personally seen it happen time and time again - no fake screenshots with Kevin!!!

  • Bundle Up 2023 $2K+ Value - Pay What You Want

    The Annual "Pay What You Want" bundle from Warrior+Plus includes recent offers from folks like Alessandro Zamboni and Luther Landro - 13 products and you decide what you want to pay - with proceeds going to charity! A great deal for us while doing some good for others at the same time 😉

  • Turbo List Builder

    List building is a constant struggle - bundles and lead magnets only work if we can get the visitor's REAL email address - and this software will help you do just that for under $15. This not only captures the customer's Facebook or Gmail address - it also includes mailing services as well. Awesome deal from a top developer. And yes, I bought the FE and the bump 😉

    From the Queen of Courses herself (Cindy Bidar, who else?), this is a four-week, cohort-style training that will take you from idea to finished course FAST. Each day, you'll receive a short lesson and an assignment, and by the end of February, you will have a completed course to sell!!

    If you want to create a course and don't know where to start...this could be a serious game-changer for you!! Cindy is offering an early-bird discount now through January 27 of just $147. On the 28th, the price goes up to $197, and the cart will close at 11:59 PM on January 31st so the cohort can kick off on February 1st.
