I have not. I will have to look in the store for that today. I am all about the real sugar. It makes such a big difference.

P.S. welcome back to the new blog.

Comment on Why Threadless owns Permission Marketing by Early Van-Laten

I had the same thought when I got this e-mail from Threadless. Most wouldn’t have done anything. It’s what makes Threadless special. I am hoping to do an interview with Threadless because I think they just really excel overall at e-mail marketing. Plus, they’re a fellow crowdsourcing company, which I love. Did you see the founder’s interview with TechCrunch recently? Really explains a lot about their approach.

Comment on Why Threadless owns Permission Marketing by 4 Reasons Threadless Kills it in Social Media and Community | Trada Blog: Paid Search Marketing, Online Advertising and Small Biz

[...] Having a real personality means you’re not perfect, and you’re ok admitting that. Several weeks ago, Threadless sent out their popular newsletter featuring the latest tees, and it was accidentally missing an Unsubscribe button. They saw several customers talk about in on Twitter, held a quick meeting and sent a follow-up e-mail detailing exactly how Threadless subscribers could unsubscribe. Which is also why Threadless owns permission marketing. [...]

Post Script: hey there Brian…. when I initially thanked you for your insights, I knew they were spot on. But it wasn’t until I had another guest post published that I put your suggestions into practice and could see the difference in what I did for Copyblogger in early May and what I should’ve done. You can check out my interpretation of your suggestions here – http://imlisteningnow.com/listeninginspiration/welcome-big-red-tomato-people.

So, thanks again…. feel like I learned a giant lesson from you. Priceless.

Brian, belated reply! The interview just happened. I went to link to this blog post again and saw your reply!

Trada is definitely unique, but that’s part of what makes it so effective. If you’re serious about an interview, I’d love to have you speak to Niel Robertson, our CEO. E-mail me if you’re interested!

Oh, and my blog post with Threadless will run next Thursday.

I didn’t see the interview, I will have to look it up.

Thanks for commenting and I couldn’t agree more that Threadless really excels at e-mail marketing. If you do interview them and remember, shoot me over a link.

I also have to say, your company is very interesting. I have never heard of a crowd sourced PPC expert marketplace. That’s a great idea, I might have to interview you next!

Thanks for your comment Andy! I am sure Jill is glad to hear others leaving their input on this topic as well.

I must admit, I’ve reading Copyblogger for years, and Jill’s post was one of only about 4 guest posts where I bothered to check back to the author’s site.

The welcome post was a good effort, but you’re right, I didn’t really know what she wanted me to do when I got there!

hey Brian… I took your comments to mean “great/good idea, could’ve been better executed”. Very helpful. I especially liked the specific recommendations on what you recommend I should’ve done… so much so that I’ve cut & paste it and am keeping it as a reference, should I ever be published as a guest poster again (for copyblogger or anyone else).
warmly

Hi Jill, thanks for commenting! I’m glad to see you didn’t take the post as an insult.

I made the post because I liked what you did and you show talent for someone who’s been blogging for only 6 months. I’m trying to get the “courage” to start writing guest posts myself, so I took a particular interest in your post.

I hope I was some help, and I hope I get the same kind of constructive criticism when I start writing guest posts.

Good luck!

hey Brian…. it’s my post and landing page you’re referring to. I learned a lot from your piece above…. every point you made is a good one. When I wrote the “welcome copybloggers” blog piece, I made a number of assumptions that now seem rather naive, in light of your insights. And I like your summary of what I should have done, and only wish I had a time machine and could have followed your advice before I did what I did. All in all, your piece above has some big, juicy, slightly stingy, but very necessary and worthwhile lessons for me. Thank you.
Jill

ok, ordinarily i would mock the many many spelling and grammatical errors. HOWEVER. you referred to them as “samples” and “previews” rather than demos, like a jackass. so i will let this post slide.
