Benosphere vs the Manosphere

Email Players subscriber Dennis McGovern swaps out the manosphere with the Benosphere: === … your content has been a shining light for me amidst a sea of hucksters and false gurus. I came up for a decade in the PUA and self-help/manosphere scene. Big "life coach" vibes there. And having met and hung out with many of the big names in the "social media influencer" space... Most of these people are NOT good role models, and certainly shouldn't be idolized. Plus, their business acumen is nothing to write home about in 99% of cases. Your content feels like one of the only places I can go for actionable, real-world biz advice without circlejerk-y Los Angeles blue-pill insanity attached. So... thanks for doing what you do! === Once you take the Ben Pill, there’s no going back… Everything Dennis says applies to how I approach funnels, too. Especially what I teach about funnels in the February Email Players issue. No, I am not a “funnel” guy any more than I am a PUA. Frankly, I was never good at picking up chicks. It was never my game, ever, in my entire life. I am far more a leverage vs force guy. And so my game with chicks was exactly like my marketing game. By that I mean, I positioned myself in such a way where interested chicks came up the mountain like pilgrims to find me, and then I tested the hell out of them for compliance. Most didn’t last more than a few dates. Others shot their shot to get my attention so ineptly they never had a chance due to the baggage they tried dumping on my life. And a few wanted to stay… but with only One — Stefania — ultimately lasting and being The Chosen One. And that is similar to how my “Marketing Funnel of Love” basically works. It’s not exactly the same, obviously. I say that for the insanely literal reply guys. But the approach is similar: * You focus on leverage vs force * You secure positioning * Interested leads work their way in and up the mountain to you * It requires having what I call a “4 quarters vs 100 pennies” mentality (Fewer but higher quality customers vs many low quality customers) That’s how it’s worked for my business, at least. It’s possible your business' milage will vary. And it’s not like any of what I do is “new.” And it sure as God made little green apples ain’t complicated, nor does it require a white board or you having to consult your low information Facebook friends who have no clue what they’re doing anyway. There are also no pages to swipe or whatever, this is all a big framework, nothing more, nothing less. So, no, it's not particularly new. But, yes, I do have my own unique spin on how I approach it, I believe. And that, my friend, is what the February Email Players issue teaches. Go here to subscribe before tomorrow’s deadline: [https∶//www.EmailPlayers.com]( Ben Settle P.S. Along with the February “Marketing Funnel of Love” Email Players issue, I am also including an 8-page bonus called: “The Business of Lust” And it’s like a 10-minute crash course in how I think, write, and make sales with email. If that interests you, here’s some of what’s inside: * Why the best method for making sales in 2024 was figured out in 1994. (The vast majority of money via direct response online today is basically the exact same thing that made the vast majority of money back then in direct response online. Ain’t nothing new under the sun..) * How to “snuff out” email list churn while ramping up email list retention. * Email list subscribers you should rake and scuttle off your list as soon as humanly possible if you care about inbox deliverability, sales, and peace of mind. * How to radically improve your email inbox deliverability with Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc. * What the world’s best face-to-face salesmen did to build relationships with buyers that can easily be replicated with email. * Ideas for how to re-engage and win back inactive email list subscribers. * A near “caveman proof” way to integrate email marketing with other digital marketing channels. (Based on how the late William Randolph Hearst integrated the various marketing channels he used in the 1920’s - 1940’s to grow his media empire — with no needing to be a billionaire like he was required.) * Anatomy of a high-converting email landing page. * Why probably the best direct marketing resource you can study is the early Sears Catalog from the late 1800’s. (The technology has changed but not the principles that made it work. Amazon, for example, is simply a modern Sears Catalog according to the founding father of online marketing Ken McCarthy.) * The One-Sentence email campaign plan that’s made my business the most sales over the years.
