Frank, watching your vids has changed my life. Getting your emails has inspired my wife and I to create the life we’ve always dreamed of. We started learning in November. Things are going fabulously. Even your Mom is our facebook friend. Oh yeah, we bought InfoMillionare as well. Keep rocking. Hey I’m going to write you a song called Sneak Attack, using the audio from your video.
You’re the best. This was another excellent video too.

I hesitate commenting here after reading all the posts that basically, say “I knew it all the time”. So, intellectually I knew all of this - well, some of it - OK, OK! I kinda knew a little of it, but it’s always good to hear someone else’s take on a subject. I always tell my readers, “If you are going to describe a horse, be sure that you are standing in front of the animal,” or you end up with pictures of cat’s butts - or worse!
Anyway, thanks for the video. The world lost a great moonshiner when you opted for Internet marketing. You can take a load of crap and distill it into absolute White Lightning better than anyone!
Thanks Frank. It is always interesting stuff you give out even though I kind of agree with Susan. It is a good video to pass along to my newbee people! Thanks again.
Cool video - super useful information (especially the Pre-selling Made Easy bit).
I scribbled it onto a yellow Post-it that I will stick next to my Here’s what I’ve got / Here’s what it’ll do for you / Here’s what I want you to do next Post-it on my desktop screen.
Great Video. I think this is a great email marketing 101 video. All your steps make complete sense.
What I liked that I’ve always thought, but for some reason never put into practice, is your advice about the first sentence in your email being visible to your subscriber.
I think that trick alone could really help with your open rate. Again, thanks for the video and I always look forward to your future videos.
Frank as usual you make things clear. Great video on something that hits home with me and I am sure thousands of others that use email marketing. I had seen the emails on the Deis “13 sneaky tactics” but hearing you talk about it makes me want to go get it.
Frank Kern actually does use what he talks
about in his stacking the cool content?!
If you experienced the pre launch for MC 2.0
in the “members” area, you saw that video
and thus know what I mean.
Thank you for demonstrating what this looks
like in real time. Darn pesky gurus hiding
the real stuff from us, then Frank Kern
goes out to bust the myth “once and for all”
Great stuff as always, i cannot surf. I ah surfed..i mean.. boogie boarded once in Virginia beach (boogie board is a small surf board when i was a kid) and coming into the beach the board stood up in the sand and slammed into my twig and berries right OUCH!!..so that did sit well with me.(Laugh now)..lol
Good information. I never thought about the first sentence being previewed before even opening an email. It’s funny how something so obvious can be over looked.
i really love all this information am geting,cos each day by day it keeps me going,i dont have much to say but big big thank you to Lungh tree.God bless you all real good bya!
Dear Frank,
It’s funny to find Michael Jackson’s name mentioned here (in a good way). Why?
24 hours ago I posted a special email on my blog. It had been sent to me by a scammer, asking for some money, if possible, to be sent to mjorganizations - in cash - thru Money Gram or Western Union. No site, no blog, just an email! (this is a bad, very bad and sad way).
Now, back to your video.
It is awesome! Almost had a heart attack myself! And only nitro, under the tongue, could avoid the worse.
None of the best and ethical tactics and techniques is missing there.
Frank,
The other day when you visited with Perry Belcher & Ryan Deiss one of them asked if you were a an “amateur gyneocologist” and snickered. I’m a guy and I was offended. How do you think women felt. It was not a Ha! Ha! moment. I am a hard core direct response guy, so when you said, “Everything counts” I know what you meant.
I decided to invest $2000. on Mass Control. So what kind of guy are you?
What’s up? Do you tolerate their nonsense heard by thousands customers/prospects?
Awesome content. You should do a lesson on video marketing, so I can improve my views and click throughs on adwido. Afterall these are the mediums that generate the email subscriptions in the first place. Thanks for the great info.

Another great video - this sure looks like an interesting product and you’ve shared some solid insights. I noticed at one point you appeared to *accidentally* drop a swear word in there. Is it just me or do all of you “gurus” have an inside joke running about how many times you can use certain words in your public marketing materials? I’m suspicious because we saw some of this in the mass control videos too. Maybe most people didn’t even notice.
just curious. well frank if you’re reading this, please reply back.
I basically screwed up my list and have to get them back so the reminders of this and the fresh insights are revving me up — time to go back through Mass Control I think.
thanks for the great info. The part about the pre -sell was very helpful for me.I will tweak my letters that way. The rest of the topics seems to be o.k. on my list, as I always followed what the greatest marketers /like you are/ are doing and using.
A question: I noticed that you clicked (your fingers?) nearly every time you mentioned the word double. Is there a (NLP) reason behind that? Or was I imagining it?
Enjoyed the content of the video. Even for someone who’s not a ‘newbie’, there’s something new to try out in there. A great pre-sell for the Belcher product (I’ll use that tactic). Have to agree with other comments though, I won’t buy his stuff on principle (however tempted I am)- as I find his language offensive these days rather than amusing.
I enjoyed that video and it was a good pre-sell. I was eager for more info but once I arrived at the landing page, Whoa! My “buyer spam filter” kicked in right away.
When I see the “Y” word (your instead of you’re) I know it’s time to leave. This tells me: 1)the marketer didn’t respect me enough to run the copy through the spell check 2)the marketer is unreliable. So how hasty was the product thrown together?
“Pomelit”: Is that the fruit you were prescribing that prevents heart attacks?
“Israeli experiments on rats two years ago showed that regularly eating pomelit - a cross between a grapefruit and a pomelo - or even just drinking its juice reduces blood cholesterol and the risk of getting heart disease. These findings have now been confirmed by clinical studies on people.”
These conclusions were recently published by
Dr. Shela Gorinstein
of the Hebrew University’s department of medicinal chemistry and natural products at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s School of Pharmacy. According to the article, published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, the citrus fruit (known in Hebrew as pomelit and to the world by its commercial name Jaffa Sweetie) also increases blood antioxidant activity, further improving chances of
There you have it ladies and gentlemen. Frank Kern, improving email deliverability rates, increasing open rates, increasing clickthrough rates,
improving conversion rates and even preventing heart attacks!
(Thought you may get a kick out of seeing the golden fruit from Israel confirmed to prevent heart-attacks )
Thanks Frank. Some great insights in here I had not even thought of.
I am off to implement some of these now - I was about to send out an offer to my list this morning! Looks like I will have to tweak a few things before I do.
[…] by Parth on Jul.01, 2009, under Affiliate Marketing, Article Marketing I’ve been talking a lot about email marketing since I joined this forum. Frank Kern just put out a great video about how you can use email marketing to make affiliate sales. Check it out here: http://masscontrolsite.com/blog/?p=52 […]
Frank,
This is an awesome demonstration of exactly how the triangle works. I love it how first you teach us how and why something works, then you give us the real life example a couple of weeks later, without telling us that you’re using what you just taught.
Not only that, you teach us what it takes to successfully do something else at the same time. One of the biggest things that I learned here is that we have to keep giving our lists great value for them to keep taking action.
The best part is that doing this you actually show us how YOU do this. I recommend everyone to analyze Frank’s email copy for this video. The subject line is “IMPORTANT (new video on blog)” and you can see the first few lines that actually include the URL. And in the URL there’s what-they-dont-tell-you.html It really builds curiosity - who doesn’t want to tell me what? and why is it important? And he only talks about the benefits you get, but not how to get them, ie. he doesn’t mention it’s about email marketing. So you’re now curious to find that out and will click on the links. All of this makes you first open the email and then click on the link inside the email.
I already bought Ryan’s Sneaky Email Tactics and it rocks! They divided the tactics into 3 groups: getting more email addresses, getting more emails opened and getting more clicks. And it’s all based on their testing, so they are sharing proven techniques to get more money from your email marketing. The biggest eye opener for me was the Green Mailing tactic. And it’s all about mailing the same email with a different subject line to the people on your list who haven’t opened the first email. You can repeat that 3-4 times and it doubled the revenue they got from one promotion - powerful stuff and soooo easy to implement, right?
On the other hand, Frank gives unique info here in the video and if you combine Frank’s stuff and Ryan’s, you’ll get massive increase in revenue from your email marketing.
hey frank,
what software did you use to build this site?
miss la jolla, hey, is that sushi joint still there on prospect? bird rock sush?

One thing that was not covered in “Open Rate” is that if “preview” is enabled in the email service, isn’t that considered an Open? In other words, if the reader uses a preview pane, but doesn’t read it and just deletes the message, it counts as an open?
Thanks for sharing the four key areas to improve my email marketing. Very simple and practical tips to keep in mind. Keep these short informative videos coming.
-Mariano
I love the info about spam traps - I wonder if there could be any relationship between these and Google Slap? (i.e. could that be a basis used by Google Adwords via Gmail to blacklist)
You always have such good energy in your audios/videos - makes it easy to just take action (just like you keep saying).
Thanks for all the wonderful info you present here!
Nice video Frank - And perfect timimg for me, as it goes!
Spam filters are a REAL pain in the obvious place…
No, not your backside, but your back pocket. Knowing how to keep everybody happy, machines, humans, spiders, your aunty mable, and everybody else who stands in the way of e mail communications is a skill we all need to get right.
As usual you make your info fun and enjoyable (what was the name of that fruit again…)?!
Keep it Mr Kern. We like what you have to say.
Wishing you great success, as always.
Hello Frank,
I love your sense of humor, you’re a sick boy. Perhaps you have read the book, “101 Uses For A Dead Cat”. For all you cat lovers, I have 2 cats and they are the most adored and spoiled creatures on this earth, so get a grip!
Anyway, I always get great info from you so don’t worry about what a few condescending, self-absorbed a**holes feel compelled to vomit up at you.
(Susan) Since you’re at a loss for words, perhaps I could show you some sign language?
I am at this moment working on my autoresponder series, so this is very timely. Thanks again,
Kathy
P.S. Feel free to share any info your little heart desires.
Very helpful information provided in a clear and instructive manner; well worth the time spent watching and taking notes. Thank you for directing me to this video.
Great advice contained in the video Frank.
You clearly explained how improving each of the four main pillars of email marketing just slightly, can create dramatic results in sales and profits.
It’s hard to say anything “new” about email marketing but you did put attention to some important areas that are mostly overseen. Like the email headline + first sentence display in gmail, yahoo, hotmail - funny, I use gmail so why I haven’t thought about the opening sentence being displayed to my subscribers too? Now I will take an extra care when writing the first sentence!
Thanks for this video!
BTW, you relatively ‘behaved’ yourself in this video…I wonder whether you get lot of complaints relating to your use of language, I personally find it refreshing but(t) I guess some peeps don’t so would be curious about the ratio.
One idea I always use is when I finish an email, I don’t send it until i let it “rest” for 2 days…
I send it to myself and don’t open it for 2 days, to see if I am personally driven to act…sometimes I send it to a friend under an anonymous email, and call them to get their reaction.
Just seeing this now, thanks Frank great info, and hey I do know something that can help make you heart attack proof. Give your body what it needs to take care of itself. see my site http://www.xlmax.ca and click on products. Read up on the Max GXL product!! You can order right off my site when you want to try it.
That was great email stuff that also applies to ppc. Is the Ninja stuff part of some other program? I heard you refer to it a few times during the video.
I’m new to SEM, internet business, etc. I don’t have a list yet, but if I did what is the difference between email marketing and spamming?
If I were to buy a list of people that at some point said they wanted related information to something else or some other product category or company they were interested in, and then connected the people on this list to a company selling related products; isn’t that spamming them, even if the sales letter and the product are really good and it gets through their spam filter?

Hmmm. Maybe I missed something. I kind of thought everyone did this anyway.
Do folks really need to be told about deliverability and spam issues?
And surely common sense would tell you that your open rate is a better reflection of your list size than the actual number of subscribers?
Ok, I’ll give you the ‘ninja layouts’. Hadn’t thought of changing that around but I’m willing to give it a go based on your say so. : )
For anyone else who really has to be be told this stuff, words fail me.

Another great video - this sure looks like an interesting product and you’ve shared some solid insights. I noticed at one point you appeared to *accidentally* drop a swear word in there. Is it just me or do all of you “gurus” have an inside joke running about how many times you can use certain words in your public marketing materials? I’m suspicious because we saw some of this in the mass control videos too. Maybe most people didn’t even notice.
just curious. well frank if you’re reading this, please reply back.

Hi Frank!
thanks for the great info. The part about the pre -sell was very helpful for me.I will tweak my letters that way. The rest of the topics seems to be o.k. on my list, as I always followed what the greatest marketers /like you are/ are doing and using.
The opening ratio is the same in Hungary also:)

Hi Frank.
A question: I noticed that you clicked (your fingers?) nearly every time you mentioned the word double. Is there a (NLP) reason behind that? Or was I imagining it?
Enjoyed the content of the video. Even for someone who’s not a ‘newbie’, there’s something new to try out in there. A great pre-sell for the Belcher product (I’ll use that tactic). Have to agree with other comments though, I won’t buy his stuff on principle (however tempted I am)- as I find his language offensive these days rather than amusing.
Regards. Venice

Thanks, Frank.
I enjoyed that video and it was a good pre-sell. I was eager for more info but once I arrived at the landing page, Whoa! My “buyer spam filter” kicked in right away.
When I see the “Y” word (your instead of you’re) I know it’s time to leave. This tells me: 1)the marketer didn’t respect me enough to run the copy through the spell check 2)the marketer is unreliable. So how hasty was the product thrown together?

Great video Dr. Frank Kernstein:
“Pomelit”: Is that the fruit you were prescribing that prevents heart attacks?
“Israeli experiments on rats two years ago showed that regularly eating pomelit - a cross between a grapefruit and a pomelo - or even just drinking its juice reduces blood cholesterol and the risk of getting heart disease. These findings have now been confirmed by clinical studies on people.”
These conclusions were recently published by
Dr. Shela Gorinstein
of the Hebrew University’s department of medicinal chemistry and natural products at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s School of Pharmacy. According to the article, published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, the citrus fruit (known in Hebrew as pomelit and to the world by its commercial name Jaffa Sweetie) also increases blood antioxidant activity, further improving chances of
preventing heart attacks.”
source: http://www.israel-catalog.com/product.asp?Product=7130
There you have it ladies and gentlemen. Frank Kern, improving email deliverability rates, increasing open rates, increasing clickthrough rates,
improving conversion rates and even preventing heart attacks!
(Thought you may get a kick out of seeing the golden fruit from Israel confirmed to prevent heart-attacks )

Frank,
This is an awesome demonstration of exactly how the triangle works. I love it how first you teach us how and why something works, then you give us the real life example a couple of weeks later, without telling us that you’re using what you just taught.
Not only that, you teach us what it takes to successfully do something else at the same time. One of the biggest things that I learned here is that we have to keep giving our lists great value for them to keep taking action.
Thanks,
Jim

Great stuff Frank!
The best part is that doing this you actually show us how YOU do this. I recommend everyone to analyze Frank’s email copy for this video. The subject line is “IMPORTANT (new video on blog)” and you can see the first few lines that actually include the URL. And in the URL there’s what-they-dont-tell-you.html It really builds curiosity - who doesn’t want to tell me what? and why is it important? And he only talks about the benefits you get, but not how to get them, ie. he doesn’t mention it’s about email marketing. So you’re now curious to find that out and will click on the links. All of this makes you first open the email and then click on the link inside the email.
I already bought Ryan’s Sneaky Email Tactics and it rocks! They divided the tactics into 3 groups: getting more email addresses, getting more emails opened and getting more clicks. And it’s all based on their testing, so they are sharing proven techniques to get more money from your email marketing. The biggest eye opener for me was the Green Mailing tactic. And it’s all about mailing the same email with a different subject line to the people on your list who haven’t opened the first email. You can repeat that 3-4 times and it doubled the revenue they got from one promotion - powerful stuff and soooo easy to implement, right?
On the other hand, Frank gives unique info here in the video and if you combine Frank’s stuff and Ryan’s, you’ll get massive increase in revenue from your email marketing.
Take care everybody,
~Davor

One thing that was not covered in “Open Rate” is that if “preview” is enabled in the email service, isn’t that considered an Open? In other words, if the reader uses a preview pane, but doesn’t read it and just deletes the message, it counts as an open?

I love your sense of humor, you’re a sick boy. Perhaps you have read the book, “101 Uses For A Dead Cat”. For all you cat lovers, I have 2 cats and they are the most adored and spoiled creatures on this earth, so get a grip!
Anyway, I always get great info from you so don’t worry about what a few condescending, self-absorbed a**holes feel compelled to vomit up at you.
(Susan) Since you’re at a loss for words, perhaps I could show you some sign language?
I am at this moment working on my autoresponder series, so this is very timely. Thanks again,

Good video Frank, as always…
It’s hard to say anything “new” about email marketing but you did put attention to some important areas that are mostly overseen. Like the email headline + first sentence display in gmail, yahoo, hotmail - funny, I use gmail so why I haven’t thought about the opening sentence being displayed to my subscribers too? Now I will take an extra care when writing the first sentence!
Thanks for this video!
BTW, you relatively ‘behaved’ yourself in this video…I wonder whether you get lot of complaints relating to your use of language, I personally find it refreshing but(t) I guess some peeps don’t so would be curious about the ratio.

Thanks Frank,
One idea I always use is when I finish an email, I don’t send it until i let it “rest” for 2 days…
I send it to myself and don’t open it for 2 days, to see if I am personally driven to act…sometimes I send it to a friend under an anonymous email, and call them to get their reaction.
Just another idea!
Thanks!

Hi Frank,
I’m new to SEM, internet business, etc. I don’t have a list yet, but if I did what is the difference between email marketing and spamming?
If I were to buy a list of people that at some point said they wanted related information to something else or some other product category or company they were interested in, and then connected the people on this list to a company selling related products; isn’t that spamming them, even if the sales letter and the product are really good and it gets through their spam filter?
Thanks,
Joe
