No, it’s not me saying that I’ll be retiring soon, neither is
there anything for you to buy in this email today.

I want to start by telling you how guilty I felt for not
giving you great value. Yes, I have not been keeping my
promise and as much as I don’t want to say this, I
know that’s the truth. You might even ‘leave’ me today
after reading this.

There’s a reason why you’ve subscribed into my list -
because I’ve said to deliver content to you.

And I haven’t live up to that promise… for a long time.

–

I’m on other marketers lists as well (that’s how I caught
myself seeing the mirror today) and it’s just astonishing to
why I would want to keep on being on their lists when
each time I’ve received an email, it’s another promotion
promoting their cronies.

And if there’s any ‘good’ piece of content, it is most
likely a teaser to something else.

No, this email is not about whining like a crybaby or
criticizing a marketing strategy because both of them
(cronies promotion and teaser content) are NOTHING
WRONG. As a matter of fact, they’re the most brilliant
ways to make money, lots of money.

You see…

I got succumbed into greed. Bad.

I’ve stopped giving out good content to you and all
of my loyal subscribers.

Like, every Sunday, I’m supposed to published my
“Sunday Email” Series but my last issue was months ago.
See what I mean about not thinking of my subscribers?

The truth is, not only I get greedy, but I was also angry.

First, the greedy part – I realized that each time I sent
out a product promotion, I’ll make money and since
everyone and their dogs are doing that in the internet
marketing niche, might as well I do it too before I’m just
left with the crumbs. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME.

And I felt angry because each time I try to help someone
to start a real internet business, it’s either they give up
along the way or they just want to buy the magic pill to
swallow, which obviously I don’t have.

*BUT* many marketers seem to have that pill with the
latest “how to make money with Clickbank” products.
Nowadays, a marketer selling a course on how to make
money from blogging might not even make money from
blogging.

A marketer selling an article software might not even
be using his own software for article marketing.
And so on. You get the idea.

I don’t even want to get into the conversation of the amount
of lies, baloneys and scams out there.

So why bother to teach since they don’t appreciate it. Might
as well keep on mailing to my list and make money easily.

I lost my cool along the way by not trying to understand
my subscribers and customers well enough and it affects
how I think badly.

No, I’m not ‘bailing’ myself with excuses because it’s a
shame trying to point fingers elsewhere with one’s own
wrong doings.

My message in this email is this:

Regardless of whether you’ve just subscribed or you are
my long-time subscriber, I want to say that I’m sorry.
If you have to unsubscribe, I would understand.
But if you are not, I am going to take this opportunity
for a ‘redemption’ and also, to ‘give back’.

I’ve decided to do this – for this entire month of March,
I’m going to send you all kinds of content ranging from
ebooks, videos to new marketing tactics because I want
to stop marketing to the ‘outside world’ and give my
attention to you and the other 100,000 subscribers
that I have.

But I would appreciate your patience because none
of these have been developed yet. Whether you believe
me or not, this email wasn’t prepared to be written
or sent – it just happened. You know one of those feeling
that comes to you, the “that’s it, this is it” and “enough
is enough”? Yup, that’s what I’m experiencing now.

Also note that I’m not trying to be heroic or a man of
super integrity or something – I’m just trying to be more
reasonable to my list.

I’ll also be announcing some radical announcements -
like, for the first time in history, I’m going to accept
*solo ads purchase to my personal development list at
an insanely affordable fee. I thought I should give
opportunities to others who I’ve always turned down
their JV proposals and perhaps, open up a new
opportunity for them to be successful.

(*I’ll be announcing this soon and if you want to be notified
before they’re all sold out because I’m only having very
limited slots, email to patric@successtrace.com now.)

I hope my small step would influence other marketers to
stop promoting as much as they do and focus on giving
more value to their subscribers so that ultimately,
all of the lists you’re subscribed, will deliver great value
to you instead of 5 promotions a day.

If you feel like leaving a comment or continuing this
conversation, feel free to leave it below. Positive or negative,
I’m all ears.

Thanks again,
Patric Chan
