"I came to your site originally to read an article referred by Marketing Wonk, "Turn Tears into Gold". The humor of the article was so refreshing it made me curious about your site.
I enjoyed the graphics on different pages and the continued tone of having a sense of humor. Your prominent newsletter sign-up and copy made me what to learn more about your site so I signed up. Your thank you page was the first time I saw that I would receive a free e-book. Which was a bonus I value.

Your site has been one of the best sites I've visited recently. I wanted to read your newsletter because you hooked me and I don't sign-up for many newsletters."
