I love fan email. Here’s one I received the other day (and using here with her permission):
Joe, I’ve written you before thanking you for all that you do.
You and your work have been a great inspiration to me, my husband, and my business partner. I wanted to pass alone some more praise because you really deserve it.
I am so entertained and jealous of all that you do. Having been in the marketing industry for 25 years myself I am always delighted by your new ideas and how you are just like a creative fountain that keeps flowing.
My husband is an internet junkie – and he receives all kinds of similar offers mimicking programs like yours. I too, am on about 25 email lists, newsletter and offer programs. We constantly compare and veto a lot of free offerings because they don’t even come close to what you offer.
No one – I mean NO ONE can compare to the quality of your offerings and guarantees.
Yesterday, my husband I had signed up to listen to an interview about selling on the web and how to have a web based business. Joe, it was so bad that after 30 minutes we hung up. The only reason we stayed on for 30 minutes is we kept waiting to hear what the “secrets” were or the new ways to do business on the web.
In 30 minutes they did not give one piece of program information – they kept up with that chatter “we have a new car, we’ve made millions, we did 2 million in one day, we’re so great blah, blah, blah.”
After 5 minutes it gets old. Now don’t get me wrong, I am very interested in being much more prosperous than I am now. And with a lot of your products I am improving my abundance day by day.
My biggest challenge is staying focused and not getting distracted. I realized that listening to your programs, reading your emails, and sales promoting has ruined me from listening or even believing anyone else.
I think your hypnotic programs have truly tranced me!
So, I wanted to share my perspective as a customer – I’m sure you know this and it’s probably validated by the dollars flowing into your bank accounts but here’s one customers perspective that I share with anyone who willl isten to me about your programs.
1. You are totally entertaining and captivate your audience immediately with fresh new stories
2. You’re not pushy – you truly know the value of saying “next”
3. You do what you say you’re going to do
4. You deliver on your promises and I suspect you make it right if a customer is too thick to see the value of your products
5. You give more than one expects (I have tons of download bonuses that I have benefited from over and over)
6. You love what you do and…
7. You’re out there giving more than you receive.
Oh and lastly, any man that loses 80 lbs and transforms like you have deserves a standing ovation.
So, thanks again Joe – you deserve every dollar that flows in…we think you’re the best!

I predict great things for you!

PS – The famous hoaxer Alan Abel – who orchestrated my now famous Great Lotto Hoax to help promote my #1 bestselling book The Attractor Factor – has a new site up. It’s worth a look. This true genius has been doing publicity stunts for about six decades. See www.AlanAbel.com
I almost never look at my Alexa rankings — I’m too busy creating and promoting my sites to worry about how they are ranked — but a subscriber to my ezine at www.mrfire.com just told me I am in the Top 10 of all the “movers and shakers” sites in the world right now. He sent me this link –
http://www.alexa.com/site/ds/movers_shakers?lang=en
The #1 top site is the movie The Secret www.whatisthesecret.tv which of course I’m in and highly endorse.
The #10 site is for my Hypnotic Library www.hypnoticlibrary.com/secret.o/10386 which has my now famous before and after pictures at the top of it.
Why are these sites in the top 10 of the movers and shakers at Alexa?
The Secret has been promoted with a hypnotic teaser for months. The buzz for it is off the charts. And every teacher in it – from me to Esther Hicks and Bob Proctor and a long list of other authors and teachers – are promoting the site. The marketing is working and the viral marketing aspect is alive and well.
Hypnotic Library has been heavily promoted to my list as well as a few others, but that can’t by itself explain why it hit the Top 10 Alexa movers list. I can’t help but wonder if my before-after weight-loss pictures are the draw. From a viral marketing standpoint, everyone wants to see those pictures. And all who do, tell others. Pictures can be very hypnotic and are an overlooked tool by copywriters.
In both cases, non-paid marketers are making the sites popular.
In other words, fans of The Secret are spreading the word about it.
Fans of my before-after pictures are spreading the word about Hypnotic Library.
Whenever you can get people talking about your site, you’ll see action.
And it might one day lead to the Alexa Top 10 movers and shakers list.

PS — Nerissa www.thevideoqueen.com opened up a cool Cafe Press store for me. Go take a look at www.cafepress.com/drjoevitale/ You’ll probably be seeing superstars wearing clothes from that store – maybe even Lindsay Lohan.
As a copywriter and an author, I sometimes limit my thinking to the written word. But that’s not the only way to make online sales. See for yourself at–
www.infomercialtoolkit.com/mrfire
I found it eye-opening. And since I’ve written, promoted, and even been in televised infomercials, I found it exciting to see how to apply them to the Internet.
We sure live in exciting times, don’t we?
I wonder what’s next…
Ao Akua,
PS — If you’d like to have a crazy t-shirt like the one I’m wearing above — or any of the other original designs on my Cafe Press store (created by my beautiful Nerissa of www.thevideoqueen.com) — just go to http://www.cafepress.com/drjoevitale/ Don’t you want to look sexy, too?

Ao Akua,
PS – Yesterday a friend gave me a copy of the new book The Divided Mind by John Sarno. I am finding it riveting. It’s about the epidemic of mind-body disorders and how the source of virtually all pain is in the unconscious. I’ve only begun the book but it looks downright hypnotic. Sarno also wrote Healing Back Pain. Anyone with chronic pain or unexplained health issues needs to read Sarno. More on him and his books later.
PPS – The April issue of my ezine, News You Can Use, is now online. Go to www.mrfire.com and look on the left for the newsletters link. Click it. Enjoy.
The magic.
The people.
The breakthroughs.
It was the first ever Spiritual Marketing Super Summit in Austin, Texas, and lives would be changed.
Including mine.
How often does Mark Twain speak to you?
He spoke to me at this event.
The entire transformative weekend was captured on DVD. I somehow forgot about the DVDs but just learned that there are 200 sets left. They are available right now but will be taken off the market on March 31st.
It’s called “The Attractor Factor Blueprint.”
I just reviewed the website that describes the set. Looking at the pictures, seeing the happy faces, reading the testimonials….it all made me re-live that loving, magical, unforgettable experience.
Go see for yourself at —http://www.attractorfactorblueprint.com/g.o/10386
Remember, there are only 200 sets in stock and Nitro Marketing, the company that sells the program, wants to take it out of inventory and off the market on Friday — this Friday.
If I were you, I’d grab one for yourself and another for someone you care about.
Heck, you could probably buy a few sets, hold them a while, and list them on eBay later.
Hey, maybe I should do that!
Expect Miracles.

PS – If you liked my book The Attractor Factor, then you will love this DVD set of the event that brought the principles to life. See http://www.attractorfactorblueprint.com/g.o/10386
PPS – I believe the site is worth study because it contains all the elements of a persuasive website. So even if you’re not interested in the set, I suggest you go study the site. After all, it costs nothing to look…and by looking, you can learn.
