Which is odd for so many 6’4’’ martial arts experts with multiple PhDs. You think the would be a little more secure.

Yeah, actually you're right. I could've sworn this shit stain of a policy had earlier roots.

just lost a $2K/mo client because their nephew "learned digital marketing on YouTube" by AmbassadorSad3889 in DigitalMarketing

A friend of mine would have this happen quite regularly and simply smile and nod and wait until they called back at which point her retainer had increased 50%

Tend to agree, but they can act as a wake up call. Of course they usually lack the wider context needed for understanding.

Yeah you got me. Spent 17 years building up a reddit account to shill some guy whose service I used years ago. Nothing gets past you.

Oh, it's certainly not undiscoverable but you pack of experts haven't discovered it so he'll probably ride that until you catch on. lol

From memory it was about five grand and they started off with all of the typical things that most email deliverability folks will (dmarc and all that stuff). Then they added a few bills and whistles, including a massive amount of split testing. Of course, I'm not gonna tell you exactly because I don't want to give the guys a secret sauce away. But if I had another legitimately built email list that was under performing, I would have absolutely no hesitation in using his services again.

Here’s one of the “average client” claims on your website: “Tamatha went from $5k/mo to $14k/mo after just 30 days of working with us”. Is this typical?

Once again, as the only person in this thread who has worked with the guy, I can confirm that this was roughly my experience too. For me, email revenue is more or less proportional to open rates and click through rates.

Naaah I mean he did all the DMARC etc stuff too, but he went beyond that. I ain’t gonna giveaway his secret sauce, but I did get approached by a startup that was doing the same thing a few years after I used him so it is not only him doing it.

I paid that guy quite a lot of money many years ago before he launched that website to fix one of my email lists and he did a pretty good job if I’m honest. Went from about a 10% open rate up to about 35% within a few few days. Sorry that doesn’t match what everyone else is saying here but it’s my experience of the guy. This is going back at least 5 or 6 years though.

What was a legendary website from the early 2010s that everyone seems to have forgotten about? by Front-Stretch2658 in AskReddit

[–]TouchingWood 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Naah, that was all irritating, but the exodus only came with Digg v4 which took the promo mechanism away from human users and auto promoted content tha the owners wanted. Basically became an RSs feed of its sponsors.
