How to protect your list from a “trigger happy” email company shutting you down for no reason

Behold a cautionary tale. True story for the ages: There’s an Internet marketer I’ve dealt with a lot who once had a huge, thriving email list in a fitness-related niche. He made a decent income from that list (probably more than 95% of other online marketers). And, all was well in his business — with the birds chirping, the pigeons crowing, and the sun shining & stars twinkling in the heavens. Then, one day, his biggest nightmare happened: His auto-responder company shut him down! Admittedly he did have unusually high spam complaints. But not as many as a lot of others in his industry. And he was there one day, and the next they dropped his account like a bad habit Worst part? He never backed up his lists. He always knew he could and should back up his lists. But it was just kind of a pain in the gluteus bootyus manually logging in and doing it. (I am the same way — it just is not one of those things I was ever been very good at doing consistently — too tedious). Thus, his entire business was wiped out. In a single day. All because of some nervous nellie employee he'd never meet. And this was at one of the better email autoresponder companies, not one of the flake-converged ones who de-platform businesses because some lollipop complains about them on Twitter or whatever. It was a huge wake up call for me. And why we added autoback up-and-mail-to-the-client each day to BerserkerMail. But if you stubbornly & foolishly refuse to use BerserkerMail then here’s a one word solution: Zapier. Troy Broussard was telling me how there's some really simple ways to use Zapier to not only automate practically all your email automation… but also auto back up/export your list in real time automatically. As he puts it in his Automation Magic course: “Imagine every single person that opts into your platform, just immediately getting that same information shuffled over onto a Google Sheet and having that ongoing real-time backup of your data so that you can sleep easy at night and not worry about something happening or being de-platformed or having access to everything that you need. And so that can be very, very useful. But it really goes beyond just backing up.” More: If you use affiliates, he also teaches a secret way of using Zapier to get affiliates pumped up and excited to promote your offers for you, and potentially make you both a boatload of the green stuff. Okay, enough teasing for today. Here’s the deal: Troy’s Automation Magic course is on sale to those who using my affiliate link below for a full $100.00 off the regular retail price until Sunday (4/7) at midnight EDT. I can’t make any guarantees of course. But personally, I cannot imagine anyone with a business going through this and not potentially making 100’s — and maybe even 1000’s — of times the price back over time, if you use it, take it seriously, and implement even a few of the “low hanging fruit” methods inside. But time’s getting short and the cruel deadline is almost upon you. Here’s my affiliate link: [http∶//www.EmailPlayers.com/automate]( Ben Settle P.S.
