Spam Done Right Even If Its Wrong

At least this spammer has taken effort to create something that normal person would at least look at. Sure its still an image email that is there to try to avoid the spam filters but at least they tried to look legit.

So what to do next time?

Try some additional text that will add value and I'd recommend actual text. That being said try to leave the spammy vocab at home leave out what you are really talking about and try to sound personal. Establish an emotional connection. If you are going to be spamming try to at least look like you aren't. Take a look at Neiman Marcus. Sign up on their list and see how they do it. Those are email campaigns done right.

Enlarging and I Don't Mean Copies










I realize that it is getting harder to spam but please at least try something that might appeal to the masses. Really... Does this really work for a percentage of the population? Who clicks on this? Why did they choose this URL?

Lets talk about that URL did they close their eyes and count to seven? At least make an attempt at something that resembles what you are talking about. Come on now. You have to at least try.

Is the reach so great on this crap that you can practically write anything you want and have people purchase your stuff?

I wonder...

Could you replace this with an offer for used coffee grounds, freshly shredded paper or something else that has no value? I'm sure the answer to this is that you simply have to find a target that is desperate.

Maybe the best business ideas are the ones that focus in on the desperate and that take advantage of it by simply stating "You're desperate. We know it. It must be horrible to be you. Want to be someone else? Buy this product."

You could take this into your own marketing campaigns and possibly increase your response. Maybe Dudley Moore in Crazy People was right. You just have to tell the truth. The brutally honest truth.

Volvos - Their boxy but their good.
Sony - Our electronics are made by asians who are much shorter and can see the electronics better unlike caucasian made electronics. Caucasions are just too tall to be able to see what they are doing.
Jack Daniels - Feeling like the world hates you? It does. Go ahead. Drink alone tonight.
Mad Dog 40/40 - Hood all shot up? Get drunk and bus some caps up in da hizzle tonight ite.

Damn I just thought of another blog to start. brandhonestly.blogspot.com

Leonard my good ole friend with MegaDik


Well, I really have to thank Leonard for thinking of me in sending this over. Or maybe not. Damn it Leonard.

I'm thinking that I need the opposite of this product but thats ok. thanks for taking the time for sending the offer over. Maybe I should introduce Leo to some of my other friends with some good drugs.
Thank you spammers for taking up some of my time with this worthless crap. I would also like to hunt down the fraction of the percent of the people that make this type of thing worth while. How do we find them? Who is really interested in MegaDik? Is it you? If it is I'd like to sell you a crap load of MegaGetAFukinLif.
