Neil,

Translate from "book" to google campaign > optin page > autoresponder sequence > blog just like http://www.cosmicfingerprints.com/blog/atheists-riddle/ and use the email updates to send out little drips of the book. Bundle it all together into a book and sell the book.

Perry love your work – I'm a school teacher; but I am writing a book – could I sell it successfully on the WWW, using your promotional material? Love the Atheists Riddle – some atheist colleagues of mine hate it! Yea, Yea! Go you good thing! Neil from the land down under,red,dry plains and big crocks!

Hi Perry,
The drip-drip-drip of autoresponder messages,is another persuasive way of keeping the existing customers at feet and also giving room to new customers, but from your references of reinterating your product upto 7 times to be understood, what about if there is any interference in timing, wont it result to falsification or lies?
Anyway, you are doing justies to a long time quest for marketting. You are a gift to this generation, keep it up. Am are enjoing you.

Perry,

I have subscribed to dozens of auto responders over the years on a variety of topics. One reason I do this is to get the feel for what it is like to receive these messages. Of all of the auto responders I've subscribed to (and I include RSS feeds in this too) there is only ONE — ONE — JUST ONE — that I haven't turned off over time. That, Perry, of course is yours (although I have been tempted once or twice).

So, why have I turned all the others off? Because the signal to noise ratio became way too low. The drip drip drip works if the information is of value to those who receive it. I think folks are way to quick to underestimate that need, people read your messages for them, not for YOU.

I wrote a series of auto responder messages for my last company that are still running today (I've included the URL above). When people dropped off the end of the campaign of letters we get mail saying "Hey, what happened? I am not getting your great emails any more?"

Personally, if a business is not getting these types of emails then I think they need to greatly enhance their copy for long term prospect maintenance. Of course, if you are getting these emails from your prospects you need to write more copy!!!! Your point, of course.

Only your prospects can tell you this. If you are not getting that message asking for more from your prospects writing more messages may not help you. Listen to what the prospects are saying (or not saying), your copy may not be interesting to Perry, Me, or any other marketers, or anyone else who is not mentally in the space of your prospects.

My successful messages were about very specific technical topics on software development, when I showed them to other marketers they would say "I'd never read this." Of course not, it wasn't written to them. However, the people who it was written to started to pay us to do sales calls (4K a day). To me, that is when I began to fully appreciate the genius of the Perry Marshall approach.

Thanks,

-Tom (still subscribed to Perry's drips)
