I get a lot of great feedback from my readers. I get other email as well. Here is another installment of replies to emails that I usually ignore (see previous installments here and here).
Dear Melanie,
Thank you for your offer to pay me so you can spam my readers with forex trading ads. It turns out that I don’t keep a list of my readers’ email addresses. Also, I don’t hate them. But if both of these things change, I’ll let you know.
Sincerely,
Michael

Dear Vijay,
Thank you for your email offering to sell me your penny-stock domain name as well as all three of your follow-up queries. In the careful study of my web site that you mention, you no doubt saw the synergy between my writing and pushing penny stocks. It’s baffling that I made no offer for your domain. I have no explanation.
Sincerely,
Michael

Dear Julia,
Thank you for yet another chance to join your forex affiliate program. I know that retail investors who do forex trading almost always lose money fast, so your offer of up to 2 pips of revenue sharing might be lucrative for me. Unfortunately, I worry that some of the people enticed by your forex platform might be people I care about, or have met, or might meet in the future.
Sincerely,
Michael
Well done :) Thanks for the laugh.
ReplyDelete@Mark: Glad you liked my replies.
DeleteOh so those were ForEX ads they wanted to run, I thought it was something to do with circumcision... ok, now that makes sense
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laughs.
ReplyDelete@Paul: It's tempting to write these more frequently because I get a lot of these offers. But I don't want it to get too repetitive.
DeleteThat's hilarious. Thanks for the laugh.
ReplyDeleteWell done!
ReplyDeleteYou should be careful, maybe one of these guys will send you a long annoying mail about how your thoughts and the facts they are based on are totally wrong and give you a hard time.
ReplyDeleteOh wait a minute....
Did you notice 6/8 of these were from feminin first name?
ReplyDeleteMaybe a part of the hooking strategy...
@Anonymous: I'm not touching that one :-)
Deleteit's up to you. I'm just curious about the % over all the request you receive, 6/8 is a bit thin but over 100, that would mean something for sure!!!
Delete@Anonymous: I'm happy to discuss the possibility that some senders are male but use a female name. It's the "hooking" part I'm avoiding :-)
DeleteThis is my assumption at least, and the reason why I would avoid also ;-)
