This morning I went out for my usual walk, and as I stepped out the elevator at the bottom of my building, I felt something odd inside my shoe, right at the toe.
Probably just my sock crumpled up? Or maybe a pebble?
I sat down on the stairs to investigate.
I took off my shoe and shook it. Nothing fell out.
I looked inside. Nothing.
I reached to straighten out my sock and— GAH!! — I instinctively threw something away.
In the dim light of the building lobby, I took a closer look at what I had just touched and tossed.
It turned out to be a live gecko that had been stuck to my sock. It must have crawled into my shoe during the night and gone to sleep.
It’s no big mystery how the gecko got inside my shoe.
The Mediterranean house gecko is endemic to the Barcelona area.
I’ve often seen the little guys inching their way up the outside walls of my building.
For the record, I live on the 9th floor.
It must take a whole evening for a gecko to slowly make his way up the wall to where I live. But I guess it doesn’t matter to them. They like high places… time is passing anyhow… and so they might as well climb.
Now that I’ve opened up this fascinating topic, let me go full-gecko:
You might know the Geico Gecko slogan, “15 minutes could save you 15% on your car insurance.”
Well, I got an update for you:
“$10-$15 could get you 10-15 new subscribers on your email list.”
For the past few days, I’ve been promoting a new offer with that promise. The background:
I will be building up a new list I’ve launched via paid ads, starting at $10-$15 a day, and aiming to get 10-15 subscribers for that money.
If you like, you can follow the same process I will be following (a course by an expert list builder, which costs $495), plus you can get my copywriting feedback and marketing insight as a free bonus.
10-15 new subscribers a day is not exactly a rocket launch.
But like my shoe gecko shows, a bit of progress, repeated consistently, gets you up to high places, and sooner than you might think.
Like I wrote yesterday, I will be promoting this offer for another week.
But if you decide you want to jump in by the end of today, at 12 midnight PST, I will do two things:
1. I will put you into the Skool community as soon as I open it up on Monday
2. I’ll give you a special mystery bonus to say thanks. This special mystery bonus is about a strategy that’s not covered in the list-building blueprint I will be following… but a strategy that I’ve used in the past to offset the cost of running ads, and in one case even eliminate it
Of course, don’t decide now if want to join me or not. Simply decide if this sounds interesting to you, and and if it does, hit reply and say so. I can get you the full details, and you can decide then, and maybe even in time for today’s mini-deadline.
