There musta been something in the water last week.
First, I exchanged a couple 1:1 emails with Derek Johanson of CopyHour, about a potential JV deal. At the end of of our exchange Derek wrote:
===
I LOVE your emails.
Literally the only daily emailer I read anymore. I’ve un-subbed from everyone. I don’t know how you do it daily. haha
===
Then I sent out one of my regular daily emails and I got a reply from Parker Worth.
In case you don’t know Parker, he is “just a guy with a neck tattoo,” as per his Twitter bio.
In reality, Parker is quite a bit more than that. He’s got an online audience of over 70,000 people spread across Twitter and LinkedIn and his email list, and in just two years, he’s built a 6-figure business on the back of it, teaching people how to write online.
Parker simply replied to my email and said:
====
John,
I’m convinced you’re the best writer on the internet.
Happy holidays

Then I was on a mastermind call with marketer Travis Sago, somebody I have learned more from over the past couple years than anyone else, and somebody I’ve promoted to this list multiple times.
At one point, Travis said to his mastermind folks:
===
I’ll brag on Johnny B. [that’s me, by the way].
Johnny B., when he sends affiliate promos, he brings a buncha people in.
He’s a micro influencer. He’s a big fish in a small pond. That’s all I am too.
But you’ve got these very, very rabid people, and they’re very responsive, because they’re not Mr. Beast and they’re not Grant Cardone. They’re very responsive and a lot of their little ponds will drive so much fucking traffic it’ll blow your fucking mind.

I’m telling you this because well, much like milk, endorsements and social proof are best used fresh.
Also, to show you that, as I’ve been claiming, I have the attention and trust of some influential marketers and business owners in my little corner of the Internet, many of whom read these emails every day.
Also, because tomorrow is the grand and dramatic start of my “I endorse YOU” auction.
This is in fact the last email I will send out before the auction starts.
I’ve been talking about this auction for what seems like an eternity. And yet I’m still getting questions about exactly where and how this auction will happen.
The details are the following:
1. The auction will kick off tomorrow at 6pm CET/12 noon EST/9am PST.
2. It will happen inside my Daily Email House community.
I will create a new post to lay out exactly what’s on offer to be auctioned off.
Bids will go as comments under the post. If you are a Daily Email House member, you will be able to bid, if you so choose, by posting your bid as a comment as well.
3. The auction will go on for as long as it has life.
I have had a few dozen people express interest in bidding in this auction. Let’s see who actually will bid, and for how long.
Since I am offering to transfer my own credibility to you (as for my credibility, see above), and since I am guaranteeing the winning bidder to make all his or her money back, I am hopeful of brisk business. But as I wrote yesterday, success is far from certain, and in fact, the road is treacherous.
4. I’ll have a free bonus for you if you make any kind of a bid, even if it’s just $2. The goal is to make this auction fun and lively for as many of my readers as possible.
5. Oh yeah, there will also be a pool party. Did I mention that? I recently moved to a new apartment. I now have a pool. On my terrace. The dimensions are ridiculous (enough to maybe fit a fridge inside, and not much else) and it’s more trouble than use to me. But I have a pool.
Would you like to join me for the pool party? If so, again, doors open tomorrow at 6pm my time. Here’s where to go:
