SCOTT REVIEWS RECRUITMENT EMAILS
This could also be called "Scott's a Prick." I don't want to offend anyone here, I just want to show everyone some sample emails I received in my efforts to find a new fed. After NSW shut down in September 2005, I posted an ad
on Roughkut to find a new home. The following is the actual ad I posted, followed by a sample of the 30-40 emails I received. I then critique these emails, with my comments in red afterwards, as per usual.
I have edited out people's names with "XXXX." Originally, I had all of the fed names crossed out too, but I am not going to bother with that, since most of these feds probably don't exist anymore anyway (in fact I know some don't). Besides, write a bad recruitment email and I feel you get what's coming to you. In fact, isn't the point that you can learn something from this and hopefully get better? When I couldn't remember or find the original emails and what the XXX's stood for, I just MADE THEM UP wiht random letter. Too many XXX's makes it hard to read anyway. I also want to provide people with some examples as to the kinds of responses they might expect when placing an ad for a new efed, as well as to pinpoint which emails are bad, which are good and why.
Hopefully, it's a learning process for all of us. Finally, I just want to note that I have never really done much recruiting myself, so I have never had to do much of this. Hoepfully if I ever do, I can live up to my own expectations. So don't think this is a case of
"those who can't do, teach" because I have no experience myself. Does that mean my points aren't valid? Nope. I know what I like and what sucks. That being said, let's get down to business.
My Ad
Scott Hellings
Profile Status: I am looking for a fed
Heat: Heel
Hometown: Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Can.
Height: 6'5
Weight: 245 lbs
Experience: 4 years
Attributes: I use Randy Orton as my pic base.
An ego-centric, immature, spotlight-obsessed heel who considers himself to be the greatest wrestler alive. Refers to himself as "The Canadian Legend," insisting that he is the most famous Canadian-born person ever.
Bio: Scott "The Boy" Hellings trained in the infamous Hart Dungeon. At the time he was the youngest student training there and was very inexperienced. As a result, the others training at the Dungeon would mock him and refer to him only as "the boy." Constantly getting picked on and beaten by his peers, Hellings began to train vigorously and soon he became the top student in the class, easily capable of beating those who were much more experienced than himself. There was no doubt that The Boy had become The Man, but the taste of success, coupled with the bitterness from his earlier torment, had left him cocky and arrogant. As such, he demanded that they refer to him only as The Boy, to punish them for ever doubting his abilities in the ring. To this day he stiil refers to himself as "The Boy," as a reminder to anyone who ever doubts that he is, as he claims, the greatest wrestler alive today.
Quote: "What some people call ignorance, I call dominance."
Sample RP: (A link was provided to one of the roleplays in my archives).
Note to Recruiters: The fed I was just in recently shut down unexpectedly and I am looking for somewhere new. I would prefer a fed that is just starting up. A maximum roleplay limit per show would also be beneficial, since I am in university and cannot, necessarily, write a roleplay each and every day.
The Subsequent Emails
i have a efed i am about to get from someone that the efed is not occupied but the site is all up and designed I just need to get the aok to get it going,so if you like to join then get back with me,
the efed is a created wrestler efed so if you wanna join then let me know.
the efed is called NeWA PNW so let me know if you interested.
i will send the info if you like.
If nothing else, this is a terrific example of poor grammar. Yikes! I wasn't even entirely sure what he was trying to say! Too short with no information
about the fed at all really. As well, it was mass emailed to several people including myself. This is one for the trash bin without even bothering to click the
link.
Hello My Name is XXXX XXXX I am apart of a Efed Managing group
called Murderous Entertainment and
we would like you to give the ECPW a look, we are looking for
ewrestlers at the moment and I found
your email address ([email protected] ) under the impression
that you are looking for an efed home. Even if you
are not currently looking, please file our fed for future reference.
We wont be going anywhere.
1. Why I have taken charge of this Fed?
Murderous Entertainement took On ECPW to breath a fresh breath of life
into it, its a young fed that
hasnt been given the time or effort to run right. thats where we come
in, our dedication should
elevate this fed, We also enjoy the game and been involved for over 5
years now.
2. Why should you consider my eFed?
hard Working Staff... A Fed head that encourages roster participation
regaurding story lines, angles
and even special card segments! Really Good Results. One thing about
our card is you never know what
will happen, I love to book on the fly to help heat!
3. What does my eFed have that no one else has? What we hope to bring
to ECPW is a fun, non stressful
enviroment, i know as i was once an efedder , you seem to always deal
with backstage politics, not
here, the staff is just that, the staff, no staff member has an active
wrestler at all. We will never
have one. We work behind the scenes to make our roster happy and to
make the fed a big hit. Also ECPW
is based on the old school wrestling days. No WWE soap opera angles.
we are about wrestling here!
4. What kind of experience do I have as a Fed Head? Murderous Entertainment started 3 years ago in
w187, then we moved on to New Era Wrestling, Gem City Wrestling,
Simcoe County Championship Wrestling
and Now ECPW.. (sic) the four feds before this acctually ended up only being
two feds. w187 became New Era Wrestling and Gem City Merged with SCCW!
5. How much time do I have to invest in this eFed? Two members of
Murderous Entertainment are stay at
home fathers, so we have alot of free time to invest in the fed, we do
not roleplay anywhere else, and
out main focus in this hobbie is ECPW!
6. What success have I had in eWrestling? Every member of Murderous Entertainment has held many
singles titles and tag titles. We was acctually a stable together in
many feds but now being Veterans
we have turned our attention to running a fed!
7. This is mainly what my eFed consists of.
One Show a week, One DVD Taping a month, we have a 3 rp limit for
weekly shows and a four rp limit
for DVD shows. We only accept Original Wrestlers, no WWE gimmicks
here! We have only 2 singles titles,
i think this makes the game a challenge. We dont want 20 championship
belts, if anyone and everyone
can have one, how are they special?
8. Here's a few sample links:
Here is ECPW's Link, its a Ad Free Site, so no hassels with pop ups
and Advertisments slowing you down!
http://www.ecpw.newerawrestling.com
and this one is for a sample of our results.
http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling3/ecpw/mayhemresultsoct10.html
Thank you for your consideration, I hope that you would take a chance
with me. I believe that we can
help each other to have a great time in this eFed Game! Please email
me with any questions!
Lengthy email which details why they contacted me and what their fed has to offer. They even try
to reassure me that their fed will not shut down anytime soon. As an extra bonus, they link both the website
and a sample of results. My only problem with this email is the history section gets a little confusing. I appreciate his efforts to detail
his experience as a fedhead, but because it was all so involved, it might have been better to sum it up as "I've ran several feds" or something
to that effect. It means the same, since he offered no links to past feds. There is likely not going to be a link available anyway, since I'm assuming all those
feds are gone now. I'll take your word for it, honest. I must admit I am a little confused about how they don't focus on WWE-like soap opera storylines and instead focus on wrestling...isn't this a game? I was under the impression there was no actual wrestling going on. Maybe I'm wrong...
Hello friends are you tired of lame efeds.....
ripoff wrestlers getting you down.....
are you superstar material but you haven't made it past the top guys....
Well here's a fed for you.....
Revolution Wrestling Alliance
join the revolution today
No, I'm not tired of lame efeds, I'm tired of lame emails. Now I say that I want people to "sell" me their efed, but not literally. This sounds like a bad junk email, only instead of trying to sell me
generic Viagra, they are trying to tell me to join their efed. Awful email which details nothing really and was only a few lines long.
This is the kind of email people disregard.
Hello,
My name is XXXX and I would like to invite you to
jin the XCW. Its only in the begins as we speak but
once recruits pick up we will be off and running.
http://www.linknolongeractive.com
Hope to hear from you soon.
Look at that, it's "only in the begins." Another really short email which does nothing to connect with me on a personal level, nor does it
offer any information. About the only thing it does say is that once we get recruits (as opposed to "once recruits pick up"...what are they lifting and why?) the
site will be "off and running." Well isn't that obvious? Why bother stating that at all? Perhaps most offensive about this email though is that it is so short and
yet the guy didn't have time to bother proofreading. Yuck.
Hello,
Http://www.linknolongeractive.com
join and help make us the greatest efed on the net
Wow! NO information at all! Not a damn thing was said. Once again, another email that looks like it should have gone to the junk folder. And, really, it should have. NEVER do this! Please let me know what you
have to offer. The only thing you say even suggests that the fed isn't that great right now, but it will (hopefully) get better! That's not reassuring! I know we are all pressed for time and all, but that was ridiculous.
Hey Scott, I just saw your profile on the RoughKut database and I noticed that you said you prefer a new fed. Well my name is XXXX and I am the Co-Owner of REW, who has just opened our doors today. I go by the name of XXX in the fed. We have three wrestlers as of now and we are continuing our recruiting efforts. We would love to have you aboard. Please check us out at www.linknolongeractive.com . I understand that you are in college and so am I. That's why we have a rp limit as well as the weekly show is summarized results and our PPV is full results. Myself and the other owner are very friendly and approachable. You can contact me on AIM at BLOCKED or just email me here on this email address. If you like what you see, please fill out an application and spread the words. Thanks for your time.
Holy crap! Someone actually READ my ad! And they reference it! This is a great ad, except that it is a little lacking in the information area. Still, I was definitely willing to check out the link because the email made a point to connect with ME, and not someone else. It takes like
a few seconds longer to do this, but it is definitely worth the effort.
I represent the ERWA. (http://www.linknolongeractive.com) Now before you go to the link, you will see we are a new fed. Please do not let that throw you off. Read our history (both ic and ooc) below and you will see we may be new, but we will be here for a long long time.
Why would you join the ERWA...
Imagine...hot lights...all the people watching you like you are the king of the world. You are giving it your all as your opponent is. 5 star match in anyone’s eyes. You guys are busting your ass in front of ...100 fans.
100 fans?? That cannot be right. What is wrong with that number.... 100 fans. But you know what, that is exactly it. All too often are the wrestlers we love to see now (other then WWE roster) doing just that. The stars you love to see from Amazing Red to AJ Styles to veterans like Raven to older stars like Demolition Axe are all doing it. 100 – 1000 a night with all proceeds from gimmick tables. ECW/CZW/3PW (bingo hall), Border City (where all of NWA TNA Team Canada comes from) IWS (bars). From bingo halls to banquet clubs, to high school gyms. All of them, old to new, do this for the sport they love. They do it for the fans, for themselves, for the sport.
Can YOU do it? Can YOU work in front of a small high school gym full of less then 200 people? Do you have a love for this sport that will allow you to build up a new promotion from the high school gyms to arena’s world wide? Can you work in the same environment like the Indy stars today you idolize? Can you do it for the sport?
The ERWA is here not for fame, not for money, but for the sport. We are here to bust our asses in front of any fans that want to watch us go. We do this for the blood, sweat and tears. We do it for the satisfaction of the fans and for our own selves. We do it because we want to prove to the world you do not need global companies where you pay $100 a ticket for shows you could watch for free at home. We do it to prove no matter how many fans are here, at the end of the day the ERWA is THE best Indy promotion. With a tie to the great history of WAWW/WCCA*, XWAR, and Roughkut (as ERWA is one of the personally chosen feds representing RK) we will be the best regional Indy feds out there.
ERWA...Not just a fed, it is a life style.
(OOC)
Simply put, you would join us because we will provide you with stress free fun. This is a game. We all know that, but here at the ERWA we make sure it stays that way. We have one cards a week with one Arena event (DVD taping) a month. We have a three rp a week limit for each show with a 4 rp limit for Arena Events. ERWA is a division of WAWW/WCCA as a region. All regions within WAWW work closely together. No, it is not an inter-fed. It is a like minded group of e-fed owners. while the other regions are run separately) Right now there is no need for an inter-regional title so if inter-feds turn you off, no need to worry. That is not what we are about. ERWA "ownership" is strictly storyline based. It allows you as a wrestler to come up with more storylines and angles. With a track record of almost three solid years (Nov. 9th is the three year anniversary) and for 4 years for ERWA as an e-fed promotion entity we are not going anywhere any time soon. We are a good reliable e-fed.
If you are looking for a newer fed, we do offer newer regions, just let me know and I will send you the links.
The minimum for an rp is 20 lines so again no stress.
We are here to provide you with a great roleplaying experience. If you are into old school wrestling with a good angle based fed, RUN by roleplaying ( a good mix if there ever was one) then the ERWA is the place for you. I hope you enjoy and if you have any questions PLEASE do not hesitate to ask me. We also provide experienced roleplay instructors should you want quality advice and help in developing a character.
{*ERWA was WAWW's developmental fed in 2004. When ERWA was bought out storyline wise by WAWW and turned into)...it goes on like this for quite some time to the point where my heads hurts.
The first few lines about it being a new fed and to not let that throw me off is an immediate sign that they didn't really read my ad. They do it again later when they say "if you are looking for a new fed." IF? Do you even know who you are emailing
or why? This is not personalized at all.
They do a good job of trying to provide me with some information, but only AFTER the lengthy, corny in character ad about the fed. It has style, but it is too long and obtrusive (I want to actually
read about the fed itself, not an ad for it). Even more disconcerting was the fact that the link revealed the exact ad written out verbatim on the main page; they just copied and pasted it. Why? If I'm going to click on your link and check out your site
I'll read it then. I don't get people, I really don't. Finally a lengthy history of the fed is provided, which just as one of our earlier examples, is too confusing. Do I care? Just tell me you have been around for a long time and are a stable fed which is
a part of a larger network of efeds. That's all I need to know. If anything, this email is too long (I even edited some of it out!), thanks to that pointless little gimmicky ad at the top. It is even poorly written. Check out the paragraph that starts off "simply put." The usage of brackets is puzzling. This is the paragraph where I edited some information about the history of the fed out and it featured even more
random bracket usage. So it looks like a good email, but it has too many problems.
Dear Scott Hellings,
I would like you to give the XRW a look, we are looking for e-wrestlers at the
moment. Even if you are not currently looking, please file our fed for future
reference. We wont be going anywhere and would always like to have you a part of
the fed.
I opened this fed to have fun and because I have a passion for e-fedding. I like
to write matches and really to have fun with all the people that come through
our fed's doors. Hopefully that will include you.
This fed is laid back and quite fun. We have an out of character section, a
diaries section (for anything really) and a news and rumours section for fun. We
also have a top 5 wrestlers part and awards given out monthly for the wrestlers.
We also have quite a few matches (Not posted on site yet).
My fed has dedicated staff which are also wrestlers along with you and we also
post PPV's and Shows on time all the time. We give you the freedom to promo how
you want and have whatever character (Created) you want just as long as it is
serious (No stupid characters here!). We check everyone who joins so that we
have no spammers or flammers and we also have quite a strict 'no promo clause'.
Which is that if you miss 2 promos in a row then you will be deleted.
I have been in 7 e-feds as a wrestler, written matches for 9 and have helped out
as a staff member for 4. I am quite a experience fed-head and e-fedder and am
willing to help with any fed needs.
I visit the fed everyday and spend quite a bit of time on the site unless I am
too busy (Hardly ever, I have no life!) so I am always on call to help. We have
been open for nearly 7 months now and the roster keeps getting bigger, not only
that but I allow people from the roster to post in pictures or logos to which
they might want in the fed's history. I normally write the whole show myself but
I do allow people to take a match to write, if they want to.
This fed is a forum-based fed and we have a policy of at least 1 promo every
week. We have 5 title belts and have a TV show named No Limits
every week, except for the last week of a month in which we have a PPV. There is
a schedule for PPV's with names and we have a few gimmick PPV's at the moment.
The staff here consists of 3 people. I normally sort a lot of things out along
with recruitment and matches, another staff member helps with matches &
storylines & the other normally helps with storylines also.
Here is a link to our last PPV...
http://www.linknolongeractive.com
And our last TV Show...
http://www.linknolongeractive.com
Thank you for your consideration, I hope that you would take a chance with me. I
believe that we can help each other to have a great time in this eFed! Please
email me with any questions!
A REALLY solid email. This one refers to me by name, which is nice. A lot of information is presented, as well as the
reassurance that the fed is stable and shut not close down suddenly. Links to the website, most recent pay per view, and television
shows have been provided. Once again, this is an excellent email and I don't have much to complain about at all.
Hello my name is XXXX, I was checking through the Roughkut e-fed directory, when I come across your advertisement. I then went on to read your roleplay and I have to say, I was very impressed.
Now, here comes the hard part trying to recruit you to join GWCA. What can GWCA offer you? Well, I am not going to write a load of crap about it being the best e-fed on the net (I am sure you have had a lot of offers from people saying that). I will just say, you have the potential to be one of the foundation pieces, a building block for bigger and better things for GWCA.
I have read your fed requirememnts and I think GWCA has met every requirement you have stated:
The fed I was just in recently shut down unexpectedly and I am looking for somewhere new. I would prefer a fed that is just starting up.
GWCA has just opened up and we will have our first card up tomorrow evening, ready for the first X-Rated show which will take place next Sunday.
A maximum roleplay limit per show would also be beneficial, since I am in university and cannot, necessarily, write a roleplay each and every day.
GWCA has a maximum roleplaylimit of 4 event promo's per event, with a limit of one roleplay on the day/night of the deadline.
I'm not going to pester you with talk of "This fed is the best" all I ask is that you at least check out GWCA. The link is as follows:
http://www.linknolongeractive.com
Many Thanks
Brilliant email. Wonderful. I was almost ready to join this efed actually, based purely on this email. I followed it up with a list of questions and was given
detailed responses immediately. Unbelievable. Deliberate references to my ad, as well information about the fed in question. It tries to sell me on the fed, but
does not want to pester me, nor is it forcing me to commit to anything. Laid back, but friendly. I know that they want me and not someone else and that goes a long way. They make specific reference to wanting me to be a building block for the fed and that is a
huge compliment from a perfect stranger. Take note all recruiters out there because this is about as good as it gets.
UPDATE, 2009!!
Now that I got your attention with the subject title (note: it was "Ooooohhhh... Texas?!!, ed.), let me introduce myself. I'm XXXX, fed-head for RNWA. With RNWA running its shows in the Dallas/Fort Worth region as a territory wrestling promotion, I thought that your character would be a perfect fit for our fed. We have two other characters who are Canadian... BLOCKED and BLOCKED. While neither one are teaming up(in fact, BLOCKED is part of the SINdicate stable, but we're working on her leaving the group), my head got to spinning about forming a group with the three of you. But you wouldn't just be a pro-Canada/anti-America group... how about throwing some anti-Texas into the mix? In fact, our top prize is the RNWA Texas Championship, then we have the Von Erich Memorial Title and the RNWA Texas Tag Team Titles.
So I've been thinking up an angle for you to work with and haven't even told you about the fed itself yet. lol...
We have two shows, but they alternate(they don't take place in the same week). We have Onslaught, a more traditional wrestling show that takes place at venues such as high school gyms, rec centers, etc. Then there's Guys Night Out, which takes place at various night spots in DFW and is a bit more adult-oriented at times.
Take care, and if there's anything else you want to know about RNWA, don't hesitate to ask.
Well, it's not the worst email I've ever received, but it wasn't the best either. However, they get MAJOR props for showing some enthusiasm for my character and explaining how I might be added into the mix, storyline-wise. That's REALLY inviting. Not sure what was up with the subject line though.
Hi, my name is XXXX. I am co owner of XTWA. We are a new fed, that is trying to get members to join. Right now we have 2 roster members, and I think you would be a perfect assest to the fed. We have a one rp limit a week. Here's the link to it the fed, and hope you join.
http://linkblocked.com
Thank you.
Short and to the point I guess. I nitpick this one because, well, OF COURSE I would be an asset when you only have two members. Again, you need to SELL ME that your friend WILL grow and you have to encourage me to get in on the ground floor. This doesn't really do that.
yooo, another dude from Edmonton... nice.
anyways, i'll be straight up with you. i'll give you the pros and the cons to my fed. i'm not going to have you kept in the dark and then be surprised by a whole bunch of things along the way. and if you don't want to join, that's completely cool. i've already established a roster however i would like to see some more variation within the characters in the fed and you definitely provide that.
anyways, onto the serious bit... here are the pros.
1)Great OOC. People are nice, they're laid back, willing to help you with feedback on your roleplays, help you get better, provide graphics or if you're bored simply talk to. There's been like 5 new guys in the past two weeks and they seem to be right at home. If you're looking for something to kill time or to improve on your writing, this is definitely the place for you.
2)Show are always up on time.
3)We understand the importance of keeping you motivated. One of the biggest reasons people quit feds is cuz they get bored. Their characters are static or not being used the right way. Here in The WWER, we've set up a system where it ensures you're always motivated. How do we do so? Well, it's simple... not really.. but pretend it is...
-ShopZone system: this urges you to roleplay, others to roleplay, sending in segs, creating storylines and gives you a little boost in the effort department. this has been proven to work, as consistently with the roleplays, there have been around 20 roleplays a week, and about each show i only book around 12 people. so, do the math and realize that non-event rps are also being put into play.
-Others are also working hard. When people around you are consistently roleplaying, involving you with their characters, it motivates you to roleplay. Simple really...
-The shows are filled with segments. Everybody's got to stay involved. It makes things fun and interesting.
4)ONE ROLEPLAY LIMIT! Yes, I'm aware you have a life. So I have only given you one roleplay per week to do if you're booked for the show. I will also give people random weeks off if they want. I understand it's hard to bust out a roleplay every week for two months straight. So, I give people short breaks and allow their creativity to gather itself.
5)We will offer you poodles if you stay with us for long durations... Okay, that's a lie- even more so another terrible joke.
Alright, there's more cons but right now it's late at night and my mind is a little slow. But like i promised you, there are some cons to this federation...
1)Majority of the weekly show Overload is summarized matches with endings on them. The reason why I've done this is so i can guarentee the show be up on time every week. However, the main event is always written out in full. And also, PPV's are always written in full. This also pushes people to put in the effort. Because main events are given to those who show me their work ethic. If I know you're going to roleplay and you show me that you've been working, I'll give you the main event spot. I don't care about how skilled you are, just show me effort. Though I suggest checking out the last show to see how the shows work. I think they're just as effective as full-written shows. I used to do full-written shows, and comparing the two, a full-written show really doesn't detract much from the overall show.
2)Angelfire site. Yeah I know, it's a long URL and a bit of the pain in the ass. However, fortunately you can bookmark it! Though before you judge, NOT all angelfire e-feds are ugly looking sites. I believe WWER has a pretty sick looking site. It's up to date, news is added 3-7 times a week and it's always being updated for you to check out. Anyways, I guess I could let you check it out...
3)My sig kinda looks like a gay dude... People heckle me for that all the time...
Anyways! I don't want to get on too much of a rant. Here's the link to the site...
http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling3/xpwawrestling/
Note: I will also offer you two things: a trial period or a chance to just browse before you sign up.
A guy that just signed up said he wanted to survey the fed a few days before he did up an application. Fortunately, he's in our fed now. So yeah, if you want maybe a one month trial period or if you want to survey the fed for a bit, just let me know.
Thanks for your time, bro
AMAZING email! You addressed me directly, you told me how I would fit in, and you SOLD ME on why your fed is great! Loved it!
Finally....
One email I got recently was doing just fine until I saw the following line:
We just started a very competitve women's division, and I think you would fit right in!
I guess not everyone can do it right, huh? Seriously? That's just lazy and inexcusable. I never checked out the link. Never will either.
By the way, a lot of people sent me to feds where Randy Orton was already in use as a pic base...I specifically noted that I use Randy Orton as my pic base. But, then again, people would have to actually READ my ad
to know that. The bottom line here folks is that
(a) You should try to connect with the person on a personal level. You can go on and on about how friendly your OOC environment is and how approachable you are as a fedhead, but it means nothing if the email is obviously quite
generic and is mass emailed to forty other people at the same time. Let me know why you want ME in your fed, not someone else.
(b) Read the ad of the person you are contacting and keep any and all information it lists in mind before clicking that send button. If the person hates board-based
feds and you are a board-based fed, should you really email them? It just wastes everyone's time and clutters up someone's inbox needlessly. If you fit some criteria listed in the ad, point that out! It only works to your advantage.
(c) Be concise and to the point. This does not mean you should make the email really short, nor should it be too long. Just make sure you tell me what you need to and omit anything that is extraneous (like a lengthy, confusing fed history). Provide all relevant information (and please provide information, as opposed to forcing me to click your link and navigate through your site to find out what I need to know...you are selling me something so don't make me spend MY time, spend yours).
(d) Be friendly and approachable.
(e) Proper grammar and spelling is a must. If I see something
that looks like it was written by a two-year-old I won't click the link. We all hate newbies on the Internet in general, right? We especially hate young,
immature people in efeds, right? So do your best to avoid sounding like one.
(f) Be sure to point out anything that makes your fed stand out; does your fed have a special feature which is unique? I wanna know about it!
(g) Reassure me you won't shut down a week after I join.
(h) Make sure your links works. It is best to do this by opening up your main page and cutting and pasting the link from the address bar into the body of the email. That way, no worries!
(i) Honesty is refreshing, but remember you are selling me something here. So don't say things like "our results may not be the best" or "our site design is weak, but..." Would the CEO of Ford say "buy our new Mustang...even
if handles poorly and is underpowered?" OF COURSE NOT!

eventually lead to success. And, as always, remember that it is just a game.
