Announcing: Martin Shkreli-like price increase for Daily Email Habit

November 10, 2025 by John Bejakovic

This Thursday, at 12 midnight PST, I will be increasing the price of my Daily Email Habit service to an unheard-of $50/month.

Daily Email Habit puts an email “puzzle” in your inbox each day, to help you start and stick with sending daily emails.

Daily Email Habit currently sells for $30/month, which means you can get a daily email prompt and ongoing education in how to expand that prompt into a fun and valuable email for just $1/day.

On Thursday, I’ll be increasing the price of Daily Email Habit to $50/month because my accountant, warehouse manager, and mother-in-law have all been beating me over the head and yelling at me to do it for days now.

Apparently the price of digital paper and digital ink have risen dramatically over the past few years, as have the labor costs of the little elves we use deliver Daily Email Habit puzzles to inboxes worldwide.

The fact remains that the price of Daily Email Habit, old or new, is a tiny fraction of what you can make regularly, each month, if you do start and stick with the habit of daily emailing.

Maybe a higher price will lead to higher commitment, at least in some people (a lower price certainly won’t). And ultimately, more commitment and more consistency is the goal of this entire service.

If you are currently signed up to Daily Email Habit, of course you will not be impacted by this dramatic and shameless price increase. You will keep being grandfathered in at whatever price you signed up at.

And if you are not yet signed up to Daily Email Habit, the same is true for you if you sign up today. The price goes up on Thursday for others… but you only have to pay the current rate, and the same in the future, whenever I decide to hike up the price again (say, in case the elves unionize).

If you want the full details on Daily Email Habit — including a sample of the fine printing job we do, which explains why we are so sensitive to rising digital paper and digital ink costs — so you can decide whether you want to join before price goes up:

My final call for ChatGPT Mastery and my $297 bonus

October 23, 2025 by John Bejakovic

Today is the final day I will be promoting Gasper Crepinsek’s ChatGPT Mastery. Gasper’s promo goes on until the end of this week, but if you want the $297 bonus I’m offering (more info on that below), you will have to act today.

This, by the way, is an idea I picked up from email marketer Daniel Throssell.

Back in his famous or notorious 2021 Black Friday campaign, Daniel was promoting a bundle of products that were also being promoted by a bunch of other list owners.

Daniel did a lot of clever and effective things with that Black Friday campaign, but a particular one was that he didn’t abide by the deadline of the promo.

Instead, he cut his promo short. Because why not?

Daniel made just as many sales as he would have had he dragged his promo out, and probably more, by taking sales away from other affiliates. He made his job easier and the promo more exciting. And did a favor to his audience, by concentrating his selling, and by being able to move on to the next useful and exciting offer to promote.

You too can do the same.

The info marketing world is ultimately a world of turning air into money, cloud-like ideas into real-world results. There are practically no rules that you cannot bend or change.

You can set a different deadline… or use a different sales page… or not use a sales page at all, and close people in one-on-one conversations… or offer bonuses… or change the offer altogether…

It’s something to keep in mind if you are just getting started with info marketing, and to keep doubly in mind if you are already seeing success with it.

And now, if you want it before it disappears for ever, here are a few details about ChatGPT Mastery and the $297 Love/Hate AI bonus I am bundling with it:

#1. ChatGPT Mastery is a cohort course — it kicks off and ends on a specific date — that helps you actually integrate and benefit from AI.

The idea being, things in the AI space are changing so fast that anything that came out even a few months ago is likely to be out of date.

And rather than saying “Oh let me spend a few dozen hours every quarter researching the latest advice on how to actually use this stuff” — because you won’t, just like I won’t – you can just get somebody else to do the work of cutting a path for you through the quickly regenerating AI jungle.

#2. I myself have gone through through ChatGPT Mastery, from A-Z, all 30 days, earlier this year.

I didn’t pay for it because I was offered to get in for free.

I did go through it first and foremost for my own selfish interests — I feel a constant sense of guilt over not using AI enough in what I do — and only then with a secondary goal of promoting it if I benefited from it enough. So here I am.

#3. Gasper, the guy behind ChatGPT Mastery, is an ex-Boston Consulting Group guy and from what I can tell, one of those hardworking and productive consulting types, the kind I look upon with a mixture of wonder and green envy.

But to hear Gasper tell it, he quit his consulting job to have more freedom, started creating info products online like everybody else, realized he had just bought himself another 70 hr/week job, and then had the idea to automate as much of it as he could with AI.

He’s largely succeeded — he now spends his mornings eating croissants and sipping coffee while strolling around his new home in Mimizan, France, because most of his work of content creation and social media and even his trip planning have been automated in large part or in full.

#4. Before I went through the 30 days of ChatGPT Mastery, I had already been using ChatGPT daily for a couple years. Inevitably, that means a good part of what Gasper teaches was familiar to me.

Other stuff he teaches was simply not relevant (I won’t be using ChatGPT to write my daily emails, thank you, though I might use it to help if I start working with partners). The way I still benefited from ChatGPT Mastery was:

– By having my mind opened to using ChatGPT for things for things I hadn’t thought of before (just one example: I did a “dopamine reset” protocol over 4 weeks, which was frankly wonderful, and which ChatGPT designed for me, and which I got the idea for while doing ChatGPT Mastery)

– By seeing Gasper’s very structured, consulting-minded approach to automating various aspects of his business, and being inspired to port some of that to my own specific situation

– With several valuable meta-prompts that I continue to use, such as the prompt for generating custom GPTs

#5. The way you could benefit from ChatGPT Mastery is likely to be highly specific to what you do and who you are.

The program focuses on a different use case every day. Some days will be more relevant to you than others. Some of the topics include competitor analysis, market intel based on customer calls or testimonials, and of course the usual stuff like content and idea generation, plus hobuncha more.

If you do any of the specific things that Gasper covers, and if you do them on at least an occasional basis, then odds are you will get a great return on both the time and money and that ChatGPT Mastery requires of you, before the 30 days are out.

Beyond that, ChatGPT Mastery can open your mind to what’s possible, give you confidence and a bunch of examples to get you spotting what could be automated in what you do, plus the techniques for how to do it.

#6. The time required for ChatGPT Mastery is about 15-20 minutes per day for 30 days. The money required is an upfront payment of $297.

I can imagine that one or the other of these is not easy for you to eke out in the current moment.

All I can say is that it’s an investment that’s likely to pay you back many times over, in terms of both time and money. And the sooner you make that investment, the greater and quicker the returns will come.

#7. To make sure ChatGPT Mastery is effectively free for you on day 0, I am also adding in a bonus with an equivalent real-world value. It’s a training called Age of Insight, which I sold for $297 when I gave it live a couple years ago.

Age of Insight has nothing to do with AI. Instead, it’s complementary, hence the Love/Hate AI name of this promo:

If Gasper’s ChatGPT Mastery helps you eliminate the parts of your work that you hate, Age of Insight will help you be better at things you love to do, at least if you’re anything like me — things like influencing and impacting people, often with written words alone.

The deadline to get Age of Insight along with ChatGPT Mastery is this Thursday at 12 midnight PST.

If you’d like to find out the full details about ChatGPT Mastery, or to get it now and get Age of Insight for free:

https://bejakovic.com/gasper

P.S. If you decide to get ChatGPT Mastery, then forward me your receipt, and I will get you access to Age of Insight.

P.P.S. If you bought ChatGPT Mastery when I promoted it before, then this bonus is for you too. So is the deadline. Write me before Thursday at 12 midnight PST to say you want the bonus, and I’ll get it to you.

Announcing: My Love/Hate AI event

October 21, 2025 by John Bejakovic

Starting today, and ending Thursday at 12 midnight PST, I’m promoting Gasper Crepinsek’s ChatGPT Mastery.

ChatGPT Mastery is a 30-day, email-delivered course that teaches you how to use AI to eliminate the work tasks you hate.

In my email yesterday, I wrote about a study that looked at AI use in a business setting.

That study found that telling people to “be more productive” using AI didn’t translate into any effect. On the other hand, telling people to use AI to “eliminate the parts of your job you hate” produced great results.

The fact is, I don’t use AI for much outside of research, as a replacement for awful Google search and for sifting through fluffy, overstuffed, and often irrelevant web content (it’s saved me hundreds of hours there).

But that’s because I have managed to build up my little online business, if that’s what you can call this email newsletter, into a collection of activities I’m either okay doing, or that I even love doing (such as, for example, writing this email).

I have been able to do this because 1) I write exclusively about things that interest me personally, such as influence and psychology and 2) because I apply those ideas in my writing in a way that lights up my readers’ brains, at least some of the time, and gives them a feeling of insight, of something new learned about themselves and their place in the world.

This feeling — because insight is a feeling — makes it dramatically more likely readers to buy when I have an offer that’s right for them, and keeps them coming back to read more. And that translates into a business that’s easy and fun to run.

But back to Gasper’s ChatGPT Mastery.

It sells for $297.

If one small idea inside ChatGPT Mastery saves you just one hour of hateful work a month, ChatGPT Mastery easily pays for itself in the next month or two alone. After that, it turns into an investment that keeps paying you time and freedom dividends, without you having to lift a finger.

But to make sure ChatGPT is effectively free for you on day 0, as soon as you click the “buy now” button, I will also add in a bonus with an equivalent real-world value.

It’s a training I’ve given live to a group of a few dozen marketers and copywriters, and only sold once before, for $297, the same price that Gasper’s ChatGPT Mastery sells for.

This training is called Age of Insight, and it’s about the influence and psychology that go with the feeling of insight, which you can create with written words alone.

This is a topic I have been interested in for a long time. I have written about it many times in these emails. But I never pulled together everything I know, everything I saw smart marketers like Rich Schefren, and Travis Sago, and Stefan Georgi doing, into one cohesive system, until I gave the Age of Insight training.

You might wonder how Age of Insight is related to AI.

It’s not.

In fact, it’s quite opposite and possibly complementary to it. Hence the name of this little promo, the Love/Hate AI event.

I love writing about the topic of insight, and I love applying insight techniques in what I write.

Maybe you will feel the same after you go through this training.

Even if not, being able to create that feeling of insight is supremely valuable, and that’s not just me saying it (those multimillionaire marketers I listed above have all said it in one way or another.)

But enough hard selling.

If you are considering ChatGPT Mastery, to take away the parts of your job that you hate, and if you’d like my Age of Insight training as an equivalent-value free bonus, then here’s Gasper’s sales page with the full info:

P.S. If you decide to buy via this affiliate link, then forward me your receipt, and I will get you access to Age of Insight.

Last chance to claim your “Unannounced Bonus” along with Copy Riddles

July 21, 2025 by John Bejakovic

This is the last email I will send to promote the “Unannounced Bonus” promo I have been running this week for my Copy Riddles program.

The last time I ran a promo for Copy Riddles was in November of 2024. The time before that was more than a year earlier, in April of 2023.

I will for sure, 100% not be running another Copy Riddles promotion this year.

If I ever do run a promo for Copy Riddles again in the future, next year or the year after that, I am sure to have an huge and real-world bonus — like I’m offering right now — which I will make available to new and old buyers alike, including buyers who took me up on Copy Riddles during this present promo.

On the other hand, if you decide to wait, you are sure to miss out on the following “Unannounced Bonus” offer, which will never be repeated:

#1. Copy Riddles, of course, which allows you to own A-list copywriting skills more quickly than you would ever believe

How?

By drilling into you mechanical do-or-die skill of writing sales bullets, and giving you feedback from A-list copywriters, who wrote their own sales bullets starting with the same source material as you did.

(This feedback process is why past customers have called Copy Riddles “the best course I’ve taken, bar none” and “worth every dollar/minute/page.”)

#2. A lifetime subscription to Lawrence Bernstein’s Ad Money Machine

… which sells for $997 on the rare occasions when Lawrence makes it available at all. $997 is what I paid Lawrence last year for it. (A-list copywriter Gary Bencivenga: “I would gladly have paid him ten times, even 100 times its price.”)

#3. The unique and never-to-be-repeated “Bullets With Bejako” live cohort

Many years ago, I used to run Copy Riddles as a live cohort to provide members with greater motivation, feedback, and results that an “asynchronous” content-only course frankly cannot match.

I stopped doing live cohorts for Copy Riddles because they are too much work.

I won’t ever do a live cohort in the future. But I’m doing as part of this “Unannounced Bonus” promo, so you can own those million-dollar copywriting skills in just the next few weeks, instead of never.

#4. 3-Month Copy Riddles Payment Plan

As part of this promo, until tonight only, you can break up payments for Copy Riddles over the course of three months.

Again, this “Unannounced Bonus” event ends tonight at 12 midnight PST.

If you’d like to join Copy Riddles and claim your “Unannounced Bonus” before it disappears:

Copy Riddles is expensive… or maybe not

July 17, 2025 by John Bejakovic

This past Monday, as I started my “Unannounced Bonus” promo for Copy Riddles, I got the following message from a long-term customer (I don’t know if he wants me to share his name):

===

Gadzooks! What a bonus!

I was going to wait, but I don’t think I can pass this up.

However, I will take a day or two to run my numbers because I was NOT planning on dropping a grand on a new course this month.

===

This customer has since gone to join Copy RIddles and get access to that gadzookin’ bonus, which is a lifetime membership to Lawrence Bernstein’s Ad Money Machine.

Except, something sneaky is going on:

This customer didn’t lay out $997, which is what Copy Riddles sells for. That’s because he took advantage of the (so far unannounced) payment plan for Copy Riddles, which I’m offering this week only, as part of this “Unannounced Bonus” event.

I’ve only offered a payment once before in the 4+ years of Copy Riddles, and I only did that for 2 days.

I was pleasantly surprised it 1) helped drive sales and 2) the people who bought via the payment plan weren’t buying because they couldn’t afford the full price, but simply because it was psychologically easier.

(I have interacted with many of those customers before, and I know they are successful marketers and business owners.)

That’s something to consider if you too sell high-ticket info products.

Here’s something else to consider. The total offer for Copy Riddles during the present “Unannounced Bonus” promo, which ends this Sunday at 12 midnight PST, is now:

#1. Copy Riddles, of course, which allows you to own A-list copywriting skills more quickly than you would ever believe

(Previous customers have said Copy Riddles is “the best course I’ve taken, bar none” and “worth every dollar/minute/page.”)

#2. A lifetime subscription to Lawrence Bernstein’s Ad Money Machine

… which sells for $997 on the rare occasions when Lawrence makes it available at all. $997 is what I paid Lawrence last year for it. (Gary Bencivenga: “I would gladly have paid him ten times, even 100 times its price.”)

#3. The unique and never-to-be-repeated “Bullets With Bejako” live cohort

Many years ago, I used to run Copy Riddles as a live cohort to provide members with greater motivation, feedback, and results that an “asynchronous” content-only course frankly cannot match.

I stopped doing live cohorts for Copy Riddles because they are too much work.

#4. 3-Month Copy Riddles Payment Plan

As part of this promo, for the next three days only, you can get started with Copy Riddles for $399, and then two more monthly payments of $399.

About that price:

I’m not saying Copy Riddles is not expensive because you can break it up into payments, though that can help reduce the psychological sting of a lump sum.

I am saying Copy Riddles can stop being expensive if you take the attitude that you will get your money’s worth from it, and more.

At the risk of sounding like a pretentious pontificator:

I’ve forced myself to develop the habit that, whenever I spend money on courses, memberships, events, I sit down and make a list of 10 ideas for how I could make that money back, and more, by a given date, thanks to what I’m learning or getting inside that course/membership/event, ideally before I’ve even paid it off fully.

No, it doesn’t always work out as planned.

Sometimes it takes me longer to make my money back, and sometimes I don’t manage it all the way.

But sometimes, I do make my money back before the deadline I had set for myself. And sometimes it works out much better than planned.

This is a good attitude in general if you spend time in the world of direct response marketing and copywriting.

That world is built out of intangible, feathery ideas, which can nonetheless quickly translate into real and tangible things like gold, houses, and cars.

I’ll have a real-world example tomorrow of how a Copy Riddles member applied this mentality to get more out of Copy Riddles than he paid for it.

Meanwhile, the deadline is nearing. Once again, it’s this Sunday at 12 midnight PST.

If you’d like to get Copy Riddles and the free lifetime subscription to Ad Money Machine… be part of “Bullets With Bejako” live cohort… and even potentially take advantage of the payment plan, giving you two extra months to recoup your investment in this offer, here’s where to go:

Last call for Buttered-Up Bonus Bundle

June 19, 2025 by John Bejakovic

“To gain a fortune, marriage must be dared.”

I read that quote in a book that’s a couple thousand years old. I thought it was funny. I am sharing it with you now because it ties into my message tonight:

To gain a fortune in bonuses, a crazy Amazon purchase must be dared.

This is the last email I will send to promote the Buttered-Up Bonus Bundle, which I have been promoting since Monday.

The deadline for this offer is tonight, 12 midnight PST.

In case you have successfully evaded or ignored or misunderstood all my emails about this offer, here’s the gist:

1. Get five (5) paperback copies of my original 10 Commandments book, 10 Commandments of A-List Copywriters.

2. Forward me your Amazon receipt

Do this crazy thing — buy five paperback copies of the same book — and I will give you the following bonuses:

#1. Copywriting Portfolio Secrets (Price last sold at: $97)

In this training, I show you how to build up your copywriting portfolio in the fastest and most efficient way, so you can start to win copywriting jobs even today. I show you the best way I’ve found to win 4- and 5-figure jobs I REALLY wanted, even when I wasn’t qualified for them, and how you can do it too.

I previously sold this training for $97. But it’s yours free inside the Buttered-Up Bonus Bundle, which also includes my…

#2. No-Stress Negotiation For Well-Paid Copywriters (Price last sold at: $100)

This guide outlines my 7-part negotiating system, which I adapted from negotiation coach Jim Camp. This system kept me sane while I still regularly interviewed and worked with copywriting clients. Follow these seven principles, and you will end up making more money, working with better clients, and being able to stick to it for the long term.

I only offered this information before as part of the $100 Copy Zone guide, which also featured….

#3. How To Get Set Up On Upwork

This free bonus is an excerpt from a short self-published book I wrote once, How to Become a $150/Hr Sales Copywriter on Upwork: A Personal Success Story that Almost Anyone Can Replicate. It tells you how to actually get set up on Upwork — the details of your profile page, your description, your title.

If you combine this bonus with the two bonuses above — Copywriting Portfolio Secrets and No-Stress Negotiation — you have a great shot of winning a job on Upwork by the end of this week, or even today.

#4. Dan’s Timeless Wisdom (priceless, or $25k+)

Between August of 2019 and March 2020, I was in Dan Ferrari’s coaching group. As you might know, Dan started out as a star copywriter at The Motley Fool, and went on to become one of the most successful, most winning, big-money direct response copywriters working today.

Inside his coaching group, Dan dispensed copy critiques, marketing advice, and mystical koans to help his coaching students get to the next level.

At some point, I had the bright idea to start archiving the best and most valuable things that Dan was saying. I got 25 of them down, and they are all included in this document.

(By the way, I never tallied up the exact and rather painful amount of money I paid Dan for the coaching. It was north of $25k. I do know I made it all back, and then some, in just the first two months after I stopped with the coaching, thanks to just one tip I got from Dan.)

#5. Copy Riddles Lite (Price last sold at: $97)

Copy Riddles Lite includes one of the 20 rounds included in my full Copy Riddles program. The round is composed of two parts, in which you practice writing sales bullets, and compare what you wrote to what Mel Martin (as well as several other A-list copywriters) wrote starting with the same prompt.

Do this, and you very quickly realize how much skill went into Mel Martin’s bullets. Fortunately, you also very quickly manage to leech some of that skill from Mel Martin, without spending the months and years of agony it took him.

And once you get a taste for Martin’s skill, then the next step is natural:

#6. “How to Turn Fascinations into Fortunes: Copywriting Secrets To Fascinate, Captivate, And Dominate” (Price last sold at: $97)

Lawrence Bernstein, “the world’s most obsessed ad archivist,” once hunted down a collection of all of Mel Martin’s million-dollar ads for Boardroom, along with other control-beating ads Martin had written for the New York Times book division.

Lawrence then printed out the ads, stuffed them in an envelope, and mailed the collection to Marty Edelston, the founder and CEO of Boardroom.

Did Edelston get a kick out of seeing those old ads that helped build up Boardroom? He sure did.

Marty Edelston was so grateful for these ads that he sent Lawrence a thank-you note, along with a check for $2,000.

If you’d like to see these ads yourself, and study them, and model them for selling your own products, then Lawrence put them together into a collection he called “Turn Fascinations Into Fortunes.”

Lawrence got $2,000 as a thank you for putting together this collection of ads. He then sold this collection for $97.

But you don’t have to pay $2,000, or even $97 for “Fascinations Into Fortunes.”

I’ve made a special deal with Lawrence so you can get “Fascinations Into Fortunes” free, along with Copy Riddles Lite, as part of the Buttered-Up Bonus Bundle.

#7. “How I made an extra $1404.53/month in Amazon royalties at the push of a button”

This report outlines a hack, which involves the push of a button — literally, that’s all there is to it — and which made me an extra ~$1.5k per month in Amazon royalties. I used this hack once, over the span of a few months, or rather a few weeks. I made money with it. And I never used it again.

I’m not saying anybody else should use this hack. I’m not saying anybody else should NOT use it either.

All I’m willing to do is to tell you what this hack is, why I’m no longer using it myself, and how you can try it out yourself, if you so choose, to make easy money off Amazon.

And that’s it.

Those seven bonuses, with a real-world value of $386, counting just what they sold for previously, are yours if you take me up on the Buttered-Up Bonus Bundle offer.

Once again, if you want this, here’s what to do:

1. Get five (5) paperback copies of my original 10 Commandments book, 10 Commandments of A-List Copywriters.

2. Forward me your Amazon receipt.

I will then set you up with the Buttered-Up Bonus Bundle.

The deadline is tonight at 12 midnight PST. After that, no more bonuses — I am merciless about this. To get in while the doors are still open:

This kind of email drives more sales than the average

June 19, 2025 by John Bejakovic

Here’s a free marketing tip for you:

If people are buying, it makes sense to advertise the fact.

In the many promos I’ve run within this email newsletter, I’ve always found that when I write an email in which I share a message from someone who’s just taken me up on the promo offer, it drives more sales than your average sales email.

As an example:

Since Monday, I have been running a little promo, the Buttered-Up Bonus Bundle, for my original 10 Commandments book, 10 Commandments of A-List Copywriters.

That promo is ending today at 12 midnight PST.

The whole idea behind the promo has been to pile on the bonuses. The little time I’ve had to write emails has been eaten up by spelling out what exactly people get inside the Buttered-Up Bonus Bundle.

And so, though people have been buying, I haven’t had time to advertise that fact. Lemme fix that now. Here are a few messages I got from readers who took me up on this offer over the past 24 hours.

First, from email marketer Logan Hobson, who lives in Japan:

===

Alright John,

I got 5 copies of “Book” coming to Japan.

Yes, even though I could have ordered them from Japanese Amazon and gotten free shipping with Prime (which is cheaper here than in the US), rankings and sales on the US Amazon have more impact for you so I ordered them from my US Amazon account.

===

Second, from copywriter and marketing consultant Chuck Gibson:

===

John,

Receipt attached.

I, of course, already have the book, but not printed copies. But it’s the bonus intrigue that hooked me. Very interesting offer.

And a cool way to get your Amazon sales up. Now I have copies to give to certain protégés.

===

And third, from a reader who I’m guessing doesn’t want me to share his name:

===

Alright, you got me. This is the worst possible time for me to spend any more money since I have to go on a multi-country trip in 45 days and gotta save as much as possible.

Frankly I don’t even KNOW what I’ll do with every book, Maybe leave one in every Airbnb I stay at as a parting gift? That would be funny but anyway, your bonuses are always amazing and they will be great companions for all the travels.

===

As a result of the Buttered-Up Bonus Bundle and of dedicated readers and customers like the above, the paperback copy of my 10 Commandments of A-List Copywriters has jumped from an Amazon book ranking of 1,016,096 at the start of the promo to a current ranking of 75,795.

In the process, it’s leapfrogged such industry standards as Mark Ford and John Forde’s Great Leads, Brian Kurtz’s Overdeliver, and Dan Kennedy’s No B.S. Direct Marketing.

So much for the education/demonstration part of this email. Now for the sales.

Like I said, the chance to get the Buttered-Up Bonus Bundle ends tonight. If you have taken me up on this offer, check the bonus area I gave you access to, and you will find the following:
