I ALWAYS got straight A’s in essays at school (in English – other languages were a different story).

Much like I always got A’s in History and Math … without trying, seemingly. Hey.I enjoyed it, much like Bertie Wooster did his much maligned and by him, much Tom Tommed Scripture Knowledge Classes – though of course, a drunk Gussie Fink Nottle “Bottle” accused him of cheating while drunkely passing out prizes in a PG Wodehouse classic story, hehe.

But really, it never felt like I was even trying!

Much like writing all this – here is what a publisher of mine once had to say about being kicked off Amazon (apparently erotica was too hot – which is strange, as I publish the exact same thing on there, and barring a few hiccups – their “system” to catch what is permitted and not is a bit weird, but contact them, and Amazon usually solves the issue – I’ve never had a problem, and sell merrily on there – the same books!) …

“If you think writing is easy (they were referring to the writers they were promoting being effectively deplatformed) – then try writing one page a day, or 1 k words a day”.

True dat!

For me, 30 000 plus word s- I’d bang ’em out happily!

Woudn’t even think about it …

But anyway, when you really LOVE Doing what you do – then … well, it’s a natural fit!

Now, where was I?

Ah yes, before I scroll up – essays!

Remember the last email-cum-essay I wrote about google and of course, those bitching about long form sales letters?

If those grouses were applied to time wasting videos which was the entire point of the original poster’s point, then I’d not just understand, but agree, and rant more.

Unfortunately, it turned into a rant against long form WRITING.

Which of course is pathetic due to the reasons stated (mush for brains out there).

But due to this very reason, Mr Pioneer went a different route a few months ago.

Take a look at Battetank Shoulders, for one.

One of the most popular course we have (along with Pushup Central and 0 Excuses Fitness).

Initially, I made you read through the tome or at least scroll through irritably, hehe “where is the damn price??!” before clicking “buy”.

OVer the past few months, as brains turn into mush more by the day ?

And people whine more?

I’ve done everyone the favor of – on most of my sales pages – to give you the price upfront.

Those that look at my picture and think “Oh my! He’ll charge a pretty penny!” (believe me, most do – remember the school kids in China “Mei Guo Ren! Mei Guo Ren!” – their point wasn’t so much American as “he’s got MONEY!” (and I was broke at the time)) … well, this is for YOU.

Those reading this thinking “Gawd, more money I gotta spend” – for you too.

I simply give you the price upfront so you see it without scrolling down or reading, and this hasn’t been implemented on most of the pages, but tbe big ticket products, oddly enough the ones you’d think I’d want and force you to read?

I’ve implemented it there.

Because it will drive 99.9999999 % of those “reading for free tips and nothing else” AWAY very quickly.

And, those that only want “free info from Google”.

The serious customers?

They’ll look at the price, and say “hmmm”. Is it worth it?

Hey.

That I agree with!

And then you’ll read the sales letter, and figure out if it’s worth it or not, which is why it’s there …

Thats the sort of customer I want, friend.

Anyway …

On a more interesting note, just received this.

http://I am a Bozo (this one presented as an image you had to click upon, not the actual URL)

A couple of things.

Scammers seem to be getting more sophisticated – it made even me research it, given the perfect Chinglish dude’s used. Almost like a Chinese person wrote it, and probably thats who wrote it.

But really, something’s always off.

Why include an image to click on, and not the link?

They even have a fairly decent looking site at the link.

90 percent of people would be suckered into it (basically they convince you to give them money to save your trademark or some rubbish).

I’d play along with them normally, but today, I just deleted the email.

In that sort of mood, hehe. But figured I’d do you a public service, put it out there for YOU!

I should have said what the other Bozo (Schofield) would have

“Nickson, you’re so, so nice! Thank you so much! “

True story, what he says to women kicking him away and such.

I mean, aren’t they?

So considerate to try and help me prevent my brand name from being so called stolen …

Jeez.

HA!

Then this jackass… (I’ve mentioned his ilk before).

Hi there!

I have a few good friends who are looking to downsize, which made me think of a great article topic that could benefit your senior readers – how moving services that specialize in senior moving can make the process easier.

Do you think this article could be a useful addition to your website? If so, I’ll write it up for you. In addition, I’ll feature a link to your website within the piece.

Thanks in advance!
Mike Longsdon
Jackass Central

He even offers to feature a link to MY site – curiously enough, for an article to be posted on MY Site.

….

(i.e grade a+++ buffoon)

I’m out.

Back soon!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – There is an art, a very subtle one at that, to writing concise essays.
