Yo,
Yes.…
You read it right.
I talked with Ben Settle: the legend, one of the best email writers in the world…
The Sensei….
BEN SETTLE!
HA… HA…
And let me clarify a little before starting this article.
It’s not a 1-on-1 call, and if Ben provides one any day, I can’t afford it at this stage lol.
But I was in El Copy Goat Aka Alin Dragu’s Skool community, where, on 19th august 11.30 am EST, we had a call with Ben, as you can see here:
And what I was thinking before the call: Ben is a serious guy, like a psycho; look at this photo:
He talks about everything in a serious manner. Red personality, always being direct and bold.
But when we were with him on the call, I felt he was such a chill guy, like him:
He was doing that meeting from his wife's house. And we were talking about why he stuck with an email newsletter for 20+ years …
After all this META, SOCIAL MEDIA REVOLUTION, COVID AND RECENT A.I. SLOP ERA.
This one action by Ben inspires Alin and all of us copywriters to keep writing to this day and still have an email newsletter.
Because that's the best thing ever.
You have a relationship with your audience through email 1:1, which AI can’t do.
And when you have a relationship and a connection with people, then you can sell afterwards and make fuc$ing money.
AFTER ALL….
Now, It's a status for me. I also put it in my Instagram story as proof of calls:
As I talked and learned from sensi Ben Settle, one of the best email marketers in the world.
I will also put it on my newsletter page with a screenshot: "I talked with Ben Settle and Alin together" soon.
That will be the best thing for my credibility. And it's the same for you.
Either build credibility by working with BIG clients or learning from experts in the industry while building and selling your own stuff.
Period.
