When students would plagiarize, it made me
crazy.
In particular, I had them read Thomas Sowell's book Civil Rights: Rhetoric or Reality? They were to write about it.
I had people submitting stitched-together Amazon reviews, thinking I would be fooled.
One time I had someone submit an article by Wendy McElroy as her paper. Sadly for her, I actually
know Wendy and have had her on my show -- and I had read the article in question.
I would bring the offender into my office, read passages from that person's paper aloud, and ask the student to explain the passages to me. These are supposed to be their own words, after all.
Needless to say, they never could.
Copying
someone else's work is an all-around bad thing to do.
But there's nothing wrong with modeling what you do after what someone else does.
There are many ways to build an email list, for example, but if you see someone doing it in a clever way you'd never thought of, there's nothing ethically stopping you from adapting that method to your own niche.
The email list, as I have said again and again, is the heart of the online business. You would be astonished at what a robust email list can do for your revenue.
And you can read plenty of theory about how to build one.
But let's step back from the theory.
How about, instead,
50 case studies of normal people with no existing list, no audience, and no momentum, who tried novel ways of building a list -- and succeeded.
The compiler of these case studies tells us:
1. I scoured every nook and cranny of the Internet. And as far as I could find, this is the most in-depth collection of list-building case studies ever.
And it's combined with the deepest list-building insights you'll find anywhere.
2. Every case study started at zero on the platform (or very close to it). Whenever the data was available, I revealed the beginning and ending list size.
2. Many case studies were built in 6 months or less. (We gathered as many of these as we could find.)
3. Every case study includes real numbers,
exact methods and specific "how to's"
4. Most case studies used FREE methods (meaning no ads or "paid" shout outs or other paid methods were used)
5. We created a step-by-step tutorial on how to use the methods of the top case studies
6. Different methods were used by each person. Which is great
because if one method isn't your cup of tea, there's 9 more that might work for you better.
8. The majority of case studies are from 2024-2025, and involved no advertising.
This is pure gold for you.
Make one of these work, and you are off to the races with your business and your bottom line.
