I enjoy feedback from my readers discussing the topics covered in my posts, even when they’re critical of my ideas. However, I get other email as well. Here is another installment of replies to emails that I usually ignore.
Dear Andrew,
Thank you for the kind words about my “content related to money.” You remind me of book publishers who see their jobs as trying to sell white bricks. I see you have quite a list of different ways to connect your client to topics that appear to be of interest to readers. If I ever decide it would be funny to subject my readers to dreck, I’ll contact you.
Sincerely,
Michael

Dear Julia,
Thanks you for yet another chance to share in the profits of duping people into losing their money in forex trading. After careful investigation, I’ve determined that I still have a conscience. Better luck next time.
Sincerely,
Michael

Dear Jessica,
Thank you for your offer to place sponsored guest advertorials on my website along with your requirements that they not be labeled as “sponsored”, “guest”, or “advertorial”. Your offer to cover administration fees of posting sounds generous. You’ll find that my administration costs are somewhat lower than those of the City of Toronto.
Sincerely,
Michael
The Banerjee Gambit of replying with a LUDICROUS fee for their requests sometimes makes them go away. (sometimes)
ReplyDelete@Alan: I guess the right strategy is to ask for enough that you'd be happy if they accepted.
