X is lame but Y is great because I did it. Jason seems to feel the need to constantly compliment himself and plug at least one of his domains/projects in every section, very annoying.
I can't say I learned much from this e-mail either, basically he's saying that good domain names are short and expensive but if you have a lot of money that's not a problem.
- jasonmcalacanis 16y agoI think the 22k people who subscribe to the newsletter might disagree. Just because I'm highly successful and I share the techniques I used to get there doesn't mean I'm trying to compliment myself... I'm trying to show folks how it is done so they can do better themselves. I don't get paid for doing these emails... I do them because I love helping other entrepreneurs.
- ElbertF 16y agoWe know you're successful, we can see that and you don't really need to reiterate it. I do appreciate the tips you share but I'd enjoy them a lot more if I didn't feel you were advertising yourself. I understand why you do it though, you're a salesperson and you are your own brand. Sharing tips gets you exposure. I'm sure it benefits a lot of people but mostly you (which is fine). I don't dislike you Jason, it's just an observation. I generally shy away when I feel I'm being sold something.
