elBenbo gets trolled by G R.R. Martin’s doppelgänger

Once upon a time I got trolled by someone who resembles the author of "Game of Thrones”. And, I like to pretend one of the reasons God put this wonderful portly human being on this wonderful earth of His is just for me to profit from. I say this because within just a few days of creating a video supposedly “shredding” me: * He got over 30 “thumbs downs” - and maybe a couple pity thumbs ups - on it * Podcast interview requests from people who wanted to make fun of the guy rolled in. In fact, one podcaster called the troll “Fat Gandalf”, which I thought was hitting a little below the belt. Especially considering the troll isn’t that old, and probably doesn’t have magical powers... * Some of the people who watched the video became new “Email Players” subscribers * I got new business from an email I wrote about it (using the contrast secret I teach on page 53 in my "Copy Troll" book) soon after * He got high fives from some other trolls on Facebook which resulted in lurkers who watched these guys fapping to the wind that night joining my list * I am still using that story to help make sales to this day In fact, it was so profitable, I kept trying to keep that fire burning. Stefania even said at the time she felt like a “3rd wheel” to this incredible troll that weekend. And, as I once told "Email Players" subscriber Douglas Pew about this: "Trolls must be encouraged, lest they lose heart…" They are giving you money, after all, if you know how to exploit them. And giving me money is good behavior. And good behavior must be encouraged… One more juicy fact about this: Not long after the above troll adventures, I got this email from a lurker watching: === [The Troll] was referred to me by one of my mentors, a Dan Kennedy protege. I even had a video call with him. My introduction to you, Ben, was through your daily emails. And our only interaction was a few short emails (plus, me being an EP subscriber). Most people say "personal referrals" are the best marketing exposure... and most communication experts claim "video calls" bond people better than email. But after watching [Troll’s name] troll video a few weeks ago, I had not only questioned his reputation and character, but I even started questioning the recommendations of my mentor. And after reading your email about that video, my respect for you only grew because of how graciously you handled his hostile criticism. There's a LOT to learn from all this as I grow my business and reputation... ==== There are many potentially far-reaching benefits to Copy Trolling. And, in my book “Copy Troll”, I not only tell you more details about the above video, but I also show you exactly how I engineered all the above benefits with a single post in a Facebook group. There was nothing complicated about it, either. And, I believe it can help nearly any kind of business, of any size, who gets attacked by harmless trolls, as well as spiteful & malicious trolls who want to burn your business, brand, and reputation to the ground. If you have any kind of success, these envious types will come after you. And, when they do, your business can potentially make a lot of loot from it.
