We now resume our regularly scheduled adventure, already in progress..........

Jamaican in China!--Special Request!  

 

              

               Special Request:

               I'd like to double the number of people who are on the Jamaican in China mailing list! Can you help me? Please, if you have just a few moments, could you tell at least just ONE other person--a boyfriend, a girlfriend, your mom--your facebook and twitter friends--to email me a request, or sign up at http://www.jamaicaninchina.com? Thanks!

               In my workshops, I teach that people are moved to action by different things. So, let's see what other strategies* I can use here.

  • Fear of loss & The limited-time offer: Act now! The holiday season is coming! This would make a great gift. Don't miss out on this opportunity affect those you love this holiday!
  • Altruism: "You could make a difference in so many people's lives by sharing my story with them."
  • Fun: "Once ALL your friends are following along, think about how exciting it will be to talk about that crazy Jamaican in China!
  • Information: "This is not just a personal blog, there are important insights, observations and commentary, as well as facts and figures of what life in China is really like from a unique perspective. This is a valuable resource that can educate people and help reduce the chasm of cultural ignorance."
  • Money & Status: "You're among an elite first group of list members. You are a leader. You are the trailblazing maverick your friends depend on to introduce them to new things like this! um...and the money? What 're you kiddin' me? Okay, Okay. AND, I'll give you penny if you do this." .

  • Guilt: "You know, my friends tell me that if you really loved and appreciated me and our relationship, you'd do this for me."
  • Extortion: "Do this now, or you'll never see the "Un-rated Episode" I have in my possession."
  • Pity: "I cry myself to sleep each night just hoping that you'll tell someone to join my list."
  • Withholding Love: "I won't be your friend ever again if you don't do this for me." (and, of course, the ever-reliable....)
  • Shame: "Frankly, I expected more from you. Here you are enjoying my adventures, and didn't think just once that you could share it with your friends and family? You ought to be ashamed of yourself."

                   (In my workshops and private consulting, I only teach the first 5 of these as practical marketing strategies!) :-)

                   If any of these techniques compels you to forward this email to all your friends, or share me/like me/tweet me with or to your social network, and actually encourage a few people to sign up, that would be great!!! That's it. You can do it. Just click the "Forward" button. There you go. Now that wasn't so hard was it? Now, add all your friends in the "BCC" space on your email form. Good. Good. You're doing fantastic. I'm so proud of you. Now, say something compelling like:

                   "I thought about you and I think you'll like these emails from this really cool Jamaican guy in China. Please sign up."

    OR

    "This nutcase is holding his next blog post hostage until enough new people join his mailing list. Please do me a favor and join, so he can stop whining, for Pete's sake!" --Walt
