It’s 70 degrees in New York City, where I’m spending a few days; I’m writing this to you from a small courtyard outside Columbia University’s Hamilton Hall, where I studied Latin, and with a statue of Alexander Hamilton looking down on me.
A Ph.D. from this place, which I happen to have, is a serious credential.
But I know lots of people with great credentials who are just spinning their wheels. They write for tiny audiences, and they have no following.
Is that seriously what they were hoping for when they put in all that effort for the degree?
Then they become resentful and blame capitalism for the fact that intellectuals like themselves live in obscurity.
Sorry, pal. It's your fault.
You're a lazy, entitled bum. You haven't bothered to learn how to build and monetize a following. You just expect people, who have a million other options for how to spend their time, to flock to you automatically because you're special.
It doesn't work that way.
Guess what: credentials ain't enough.
If you're a businessman, a good product ain't enough.
You're leaving out a major piece of the puzzle.
How do you get people to care about what you say and do, to build a relationship with a tribe, and to make sales more or less on demand?
You already know the answer, my dear students.
I repeat myself: if people had any idea how lucrative an email list was, they’d drop everything this minute and start building one.
Whatever your niche, or even if you don’t yet have a niche, you need to learn how to use email.
Question: don’t you feel sure that if you learned from me, you’d find the process both informative and fun?
A Tom Woods product is not going to disappoint either in terms of information and thoroughness, or entertainment value. That’s a definite.
Unfortunately, the information and fun disappear this weekend, when I withdraw The Tom Woods Email Domination Program from the market.
Time is running out:
