		<description>I&#039;ve been hearing so much about social media marketing.  I was really overwhelmed and confused by the concept.  This call was a real eye-opener for me!  I appreciate your candid comments about what works and what doesn&#039;t.  The examples are key, as I am a hands-on learner.  

One question: I know this call was recorded in March.  Twitter has taken off with a vengeance since that time.  You really emphasized use of Facebook on this call.  Do you think Twitter has become more important, or equivalent to Facebook for relationship marketing?  

Lastly, I&#039;m glad direct marketing is being replaced by shorter text!  I always wondered why it worked so well, as I would often get too bored to continue reading most direct marketing ads!!  

Thank you!</description>

		<description>Vishen,
This was a great call - a full hour of value. Guess I&#039;ll just have to reciprocate somehow in the future ;-)

Here&#039;s what I found particularly valuable:

1- The meditation product and the author&#039;s use of relationship marketing. While I agree with you that the sign-up page isn&#039;t 25 pages of hard-core direct response copy for his product, the OTO on the sign up thank you page has all those &#039;closing&#039; goodies we copywriters like to see...

2- The Kenneth Yu Twitter example. Mooo! Yes, it worked for him. Good one.

3- Your company&#039;s use of YouTube for recruiting purposes. Very subtle indeed. 

4- The Frank K phenomenon. Hmm, I&#039;m almost afraid to sign up for his list again without freezing my CC, but how else are email copywriters supposed to learn from the best?

Two things:

1- Is Gary V now outsourcing those 2000+ daily email replies...or using voice dictation software? He&#039;ll be a classic Carpal Tunnel Syndrome patient at that rate...

2- The url you gave for the earlier version of the meditation product is now redirecting to the new version. (unless I heard wrongly.) I&#039;d like to add both to a swipe file study.

Thanks and Regards.</description>

		<description>Hi Vishen,

I listened to your broadcast with Jack Canfield above.  I can&#039;t tell you what an epiphany it was.  Thanks ever so much for your insight.  I will begin implementing your strategies immediately.  Where do you find out about the applications for Facebook.

Thanks,
