You gotta love the irony of this…
I just sent an email out to my list promoting my latest course on email marketing (“13 Sneaky Email Marketing Tricks”) and the link in the promo went to the WRONG WEBSITE!
Seriously, this really did happen, but fortunately it wasn’t my fault (for once!) Check it out:
(And for the record, the correct link is: http://www.SneakyEmailTricks.com)
NOTE TO CYNICS AND SKEPTICS: I know that more than a few people will accuse me of staging this or even speculate that sending out an email with the wrong link …
I’m only gonna say this once: This email screw-up was not…I repeat NOT staged or planned in any way.
It also is NOT one of the 13 “sneaky email tricks” we discuss in “13 Sneaky Email Marketing Tricks”, so if you comment and say that on this or any other blog or forum all you’re really doing is proving that you 1) don’t (or can’t) read or 2) are so dang cynical you probably can’t be saved and should seriously consider a different business.
Here’s what this IS: It IS a good example of turning a lemon into lemonade.
Just remember that in all aspects of life, successful people see opportunities in everything…even their own personal screw-ups. :o)


This is good news if for some reason you still don’t have your own Google AdWords account…
