—George Rayburn, The Dan Ferris Power Report

Dear Marketer:

To make money selling information products on the Internet, I write -- and distribute to my online subscribers -- about 100 e-mail messages each year.

The response rates -- and sales results - generated by these e-mails are precisely tracked and measured ... down to the penny.

That way, I know exactly which copy approaches ... subject lines ... formats ... offers ... products ... content ... and ideas are working in my e-mail marketing - and which aren't.

A few weeks ago, for instance, I wrote a quick e-mail to sell one of my e-books.

Within 72 hours, we'd generated $5,488 in orders ... more money than many people earn in a week.

Cost to transmit the message to my e-list? About twenty-five bucks.

Time it took me to write the e-mail?

About 10 minutes total.

And may I let you in on a little secret that shouldn't surprise you?

Any week where I can earn $5,488 ... doing just 10 minutes worth of work ... is a good week for me!

After all, that comes to $32,928 per hour ... just for writing a short -- and simple -- text e-mail message.

Throughout the year, a number of my e-zine subscribers have told me they really like the information products I sell to them....

But they love the e-mail marketing messages used to generate those sales even more!

That makes sense to me, when you stop and think about it.

Most of my readers subscribe to my list to learn Internet marketing and copywriting.

By studying my e-mails, you can master my approach to both.

Only problem is: when you get an e-mail blast from me, you don't know how well it worked -- because you don't have the results in front of you.

And I'm betting you didn't save those e-mail messages, either. So it's difficult to go back and review them now, right?

Fortunately I have a solution....

Bob Bly's Million-Dollar
E-Mail Marketing Swipe File

In my 234-page e-book, Bob Bly's Million Dollar E-Mail Swipe File, you get a collection of nearly six dozen e-mails that collectively have generated $158,639 in online sales.

Each e-mail is featured in a separate chapter, in which you get:

In essence, you're getting a look into the inner working of a small information marketing business - similar in many ways to the kind of Internet business you want to have.

Here's just a sampling of the money-making e-mail marketing messages collected and analyzed in this swipe file:

• The controversial "my copywriting business for sale" e-mail that helped launch my best-selling e-book ever. Page 125.
• How I made thousands of dollars selling a public domain e-book that other marketers give away for free. Page 180.
• Is copywriting obsolete as a profession? My e-mail answered this question - and made us thousands of dollars in sales. Page 204.
• The 28-word e-mail that took me 2 minutes to write ... and generated over a hundred orders and more than $4,300 in sales for a new $39 e-book. Page 152.
• Why my "22 habits of financially successful writers" e-mail worked so well ... and how to use this copywriting method to boost response rates in almost anything you write. Page 21.

If there are other successful Internet marketers opening up their files and results ... and making them available for all the world to see ... I'm certainly not aware of them.

But that's not all....

"I cannot wait to employ selected tactics - some of which I have already identified - from the E-Mail Swipe File e-book. Thanks again, Bob, for exceeding my already high expectations for 'What's next from Bob Bly!'"--Mark Amtower

"I enjoy your promotional e-mails, read every one of them, and save all of them!"--Ernie Schell, former editor, Target Marketing

"I pulled out your E-book Course and read through it again. It had been a few months and I didn't remember it well. Sure enough, there was the answer. I've taken the courses from a couple of other gurus, but I have to say yours is the best overview. I think there's good information in the others, but reviewing your e-book I now see how it all fits together. Now all I have to do is do it."--Ron Guiley

I show you ALL my e-mail
marketing secrets. But the question is:
at what price?

According to an article in Internet Retailer, more than 9 out of 10 online marketers use e-mail to drive visitors to their Web sites and pages, making it the #1 method for generating traffic.

Now, with the E-Mail Marketing Swipe File, you get an insider's look at e-mail copywriting techniques proven to increase click-through rates, conversion, orders, and sales revenues.

Just one idea from the swipe file could help you make thousands of dollars in additional online sales, paying back the cost of the collection with the very first e-mail message you send.

Okay. What's a fair price to charge you to get these "top secret files" ... my complete e-mail marketing campaigns with print-outs of all results?

Well, let's work through the numbers together....

My Million-Dollar E-Mail Marketing Swipe File contains 70 of my e-mail marketing messages.

If I charged you $2,000 per e-mail, having me write these 70 messages for your business would cost you $140,000.

A more cost-effective approach is to have me come in and teach my e-mail writing methods to your copywriters and marketing staff.

And if you had $5,500 plus expenses to spend, that could've been an option for you and your team. Though now that I'm "retired" from the seminar business, it's not.

But the E-Mail Swipe File won't cost you $140,000 ... or $5,500 ... or $2,000 ... or even $100.

The list price of the Swipe File is a very reasonable $59. But order now and save $10! You pay only $49. That comes to under a dollar per e-mail -- less than I charge for 7 minutes of my time.

And that's only if you find the E-Mail Marketing Swipe File to be the most fascinating -- and profitable -- e-mail swipe file you study this year.

If you don't agree, then it won't cost you a penny. Here's why....

Our iron-clad money-back
