276. Mister Rogers' Lifelong Impact on Children February 22, 2021 There’s a saying: Kids are like sponges. They absorb everything they see and hear, regardless if it’s positive or negative. And depending on what the information is, that may or may not affect them into adulthood. For example, I was listening to a conversation about Fred Rogers, also known as the creator of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. In my opinion, it was one of the best childrens’ television series to ever exist because that show planted a lot of important seeds in the minds of its young viewers.

This chapter teaches you 31 psychological tactics you can apply to your emails and all your other marketing campaigns right now to make them more compelling and get your readers to buy from you. Here are some of the tactics he covered: 1. Honesty Honestly, this shouldn't even be on the list, it should be a given.

279. The Process That Improved My Writing Tenfold February 18, 2021 Once upon a time, I used to be a slow writer. It was one of my worst weaknesses. Because of that, I would always get stuck writing essays in school because I would have trouble thinking of what to write. The only way I got myself to start writing was to put off the assignments until the last minute. I mean it worked, but the quality always turned out terrible, thus getting mediocre grades. I lived with this problem for a long time, and it affects me when I practice copywriting too. But that all changed when I read the copywriting book written by one of the greatest living copywr...

280. Why I'm Rereading This Book Again February 17, 2021 In my house, I have a shelf full of business books I’ve read over the past two years. To be extremely honest, most of the books I haven't read more than once, they'll probably live on the shelf for eternity. But there’s one specific book I reread over and over. Here’s why, I once had a conversation with a friend who happens to be a talented musician, and we were talking about my journey to becoming a music producer.

282. Why I think outsourcing customer service is a ridiculous move February 11, 2021 I never completely understood the idea of businesses outsourcing customer service. I know that part of the reason is to save money. But I read this line from an article, “Outsourcing customer service is not necessarily about cutting corners – it’s about doing your best to fulfill the customer service needs of your customers, and to leave them with a positive experience.” And it didn’t sit well with me. Because from my personal experience and the experience of others, dealing with companies with their customer service representatives located overseas can be anything but...

285. The Grave Misadventure of a Robinhood Investor February 09, 2021 Robinhood is an app that allows you to invest your money straight from your phone. I believe it’s also one of the first investment apps to be released, but that doesn’t matter. And since investing money is so easily available now, a lot of younger people naturally are doing it. For example, Take this 20 year old college student who was one of the tens of millions of Robinhood investors.

290. Copywriting lessons from Indian call center scammers February 04, 2021 One of my favorite things to do during my leisure time is watching entertaining videos. Specifically, videos of people fooling around with scammers from Indian call centers. You know, the ones who’ll call you to let you know that the IRS is going to sue you, or the ones who pretend they’re Microsoft tech support and will “help” you remove a non-existent virus from your computer. Usually, they target older people because they know it’s easier to trick them. But I’ve seen instances where they called tax professionals and police officers. On the surface, it’s a terrible thing... (read more) Author: Ellisen Wang

291. How to make your date run off faster than by saying "I love you" on the first date February 01, 2021 Oh boy, I got something juicy for you today. I was listening to one of my go-to podcasts yesterday and I heard this funny story. Listen to this: One of the podcast host’s friends entered the online dating game, and she went on a date with someone she met. Unfortunately, it didn’t go well and she came home irritated. What happened was, this guy that she went on a first date with bombarded her with obnoxious questions. It was far from casual. He asked her questions that you’d find in a Buzzfeed “Deep questions to ask your date” type of article. That includes asking ... (read more) Author: Ellisen Wang

292. A customer took a retail store's guarantee policy in the most literal way possible January 29, 2021 To end this great week off, let me share a funny story that happened a while back. When I exercise, I like to take supplements, BCAAs and whey protein. And I buy both of those at a GNC store near my house. One day, I went to the store to buy another container of BCAA powder. While the cashier was ringing the item up, we were having a nice conversation. He was telling me how GNC has a guarantee. If you buy anything from the store, use it, and you aren’t satisfied with it, then you can return it and get a refund. Then he told me a story of a former customer who took that...

But I decided to do something a little fun and take the title and make a literal A to Z email copywriting guide. And so, the following was created. Enjoy. Action is the very first step.

Have it set to 25 minutes. Initiate ... (read more) Author: Ellisen Wang

294. If At First You Don't Succeed January 27, 2021 With the exception of young prodigies, chances are, when you try a new skill for the first time, the end results will be pretty ugly.

If you read that article, then you know what I’m talking about. But if that doesn’t upset you, then you understand that it’s a perfectly natural process. For example, here are some of my first failed attempts: Art Going back to Halloween 2020, I... (read more) Author: Ellisen Wang

295. Blast to the Past of My Untold Network Marketing History January 26, 2021 In the past, I talked a little bit about network marketing. But thinking about it now, I don’t think I ever mentioned that I was part of a network marketing company at one point in my life. World Financial Group. However, I signed up under someone who ran a company under a different name. It’ll take a bit of time to explain that, so I’m not going to. But here’s what I do want to talk about. During my training, my supervisor encouraged me to attend as many networking events as I possibly can. He handed me a stack of business cards and told me this specific instruct...

296. What the Wrong Email Marketing Questions Are That You Shouldn't Be Asking January 25, 2021 I see this question so many times on the Internet. Forums, social media posts, you name it. “What’s the best email marketing software to use?” Or I see variants of this question like, “What’s the best email marketing software for non-profits?” “Which service is better, this or that?” To be honest, I think those are the wrong questions to ask. From what I’ve seen and used, they all function the same. The only differences are their pricing, the software names, their quirks, and unique features. For example, GetResponse has a feature where you can create your ow... (read more) Author: Ellisen Wang

297. Am I the Only One Who Has Had Thoughts About This Issue? January 22, 2021 Not too long ago, I came across a rather entertaining video about self-love. It touched upon the concept of learning to love yourself first before you start to love others. And it makes sense. When you learn to love yourself, accept your good, insecure, and quirky sides, then you’d most likely be open to do the same for others as well. But here’s where the video gets interesting. It made me think about this whole concept from a whole new perspective that I never thought possible. Loving others better teaches you how to love yourself, which also makes sense. I...

298. The Case of Social Justice Enthusiasts Going Too Far January 21, 2021 Let’s go back to June 2nd, 2020. If you’re a social justice enthusiast, then you may be familiar with that date. If not, it’s also known as Blackout Tuesday. A day to protest against racism and police brutality by posting a pitch black picture on social media. But as you may already know, this whole protest lasted for more than just one day. On that date, I even wrote an email about this. I’m not going to paste the entire email here, so I’ll sum it up as short as I can. I used to post content on Instagram. Basically, I was deciding whether or not I should post my regul...

How an Invite-only Social Platform Become Popular So Quickly January 20, 2021 If you’re like me, a person who lives under a rock but still knows what’s going on in the world (Somewhat), then you’ve probably heard of this new platform called Clubhouse. If you haven’t, it’s a new social platform that’s strictly audio only. I first read about it on an email newsletter from a creatives network group that I’m a part of. Apparently, you can only have access to the app if you receive an invitation from an inside user. So I decided to look into it. And I found out that it is an invitation only app. Otherwise, if you sign up, you’ll be put on a waiting l... (read more) Author: Ellisen Wang
