It can't die until it's been staked, beheaded, its mouth stuffed with garlic, & the ground salted around it

I’ve been told many times over the past 21+ years from various goo-roos that email is… "DEAD!!!" Now, I don't know if they are doing this for shock effect. Or because they see everyone else using a "death of" theme in their headlines and subject lines and titles. Or because they can't get off the social media crack pipe and need to believe email is dead to stop the maddening cognitive dissonance haunting their dreams of being social media millionaires. My favorite boogyman like this I heard about was many years ago, and something about Google and Apple changing the way people can opt in using a "ghost" email address or something. "Ghost email." How Halloween... And how ironic, too. But I can assure you mail ain't dead yet. And I doubt it's going anywhere any time soon, either. But, even if it did, so what? Writing emails will sharpen (like a stake!) your other communication skills (speaking, writing, editing, etc). Every email you write, makes you better, even if incrementally, until, over time, your abilities compound on themselves and your competition is still running around playing with the newest bright shiny object they saw in a flakebook ad. So you win either way, Count Chokula. But I would not fret about it. Email supposedly "dies" all the time. Been hearing about its impending demise since 2002 when I got into this business. But until email has been staked, beheaded, its mouth stuffed with garlic, and the ground around it heavily salted, it'll just keep coming back anyway... So go forth and profit from email. It's inexpensive. It can work fast. And, so it is.. I haven't plugged my Twitter page in a while - but have been thinking more and more about doing a regular series of free Spaces (livestreams) on there when my following gets big enough to make it worth the while. In the meantime, to follow my antics there go to: [https∶//www.EmailPlayers.com/twitter]( Ben Settle This email was sent by Ben Settle as owner of Settle, LLC. Copyright © 2023 Settle, LLC.
