Sorry copywriters.
But you're now almost as useless as tits on a bull.
At least, to entrepreneurs who understand (1) the power of email
and (2) how much more profitable *speed* is over grinding
perfectionism.
Prove it?
Behold... from "Email Players" subscriber Carl Juneau:

Yo Ben,
I just did a quick caveman launch Ben style (TM) and it worked
again. WITHOUT a sales letter. Here's what I did:
Free + shipping t-shirt by the mail offer = 112 sales.
All 112 got the t-shirt + 2-page crap letter that explained the
offer (I wouldn't really call this a salesleter, wrote it in 20
minutes).
Made 18 sales for a 49,95 $ a month continuity offer. Based on
previous members, those are worth $200 each.
So that's a 16 % conversion rate for $3600. Not bad.
Best part is really WITHOUT a sales letter. Just write them emails
and put an order link in there.
Can it get any easier? Boy this is easy.
I guess that pays my subscription to Email Players for another 37
months.
===
Yeppers.
This is why people who *implement* "Email Players" don't complain
about not being able to "afford" it because it pays for itself
several times over.
Moral of the story?
A sales letter ain't nearly as important as copywriters preach.
They used to be.
But with email, it just ain't so.
No...
I'm not saying not to write a good sales letter. But to obsess over
your precious copy like Gollum stroking the One Ring in his
cave of gloom is a waste of your life. Get your offers out there
with email first, then worry about the sales letter (if you think
it's worth your time -- and don't be surprised if it ain't).
I know this is blasphemy online.
Maybe that's why it's so fun to write about it?
Whatever the case:
My boyz & girlz in "Email Players" are kicking butt online.

P.S. If you want to learn the process Carl used to launch his
product using just email, I wrote about it in the December 2011
issue. Back issues are for sale to current "Email Players"
subscribers.
