Email Copywriting

[42H⏰] CUSTOMER BANNED!


There’s been a bit of drama unfolding in CopyCreator Club the last few days that Your Fearless Leader (Hiya 👋) had to handle.

Here’s the full scoop…

Last week, I posted a job opportunity in our club for a $5,000/mo Copywriting Gig.

(That’s one of the perks of being in CopyCreator… first dibs on opportunities I never send my list 😜)

The job came from CopyCreator Club Member Zac Garside.

He’s the Co-Founder and CEO of Send It Email Marketing.

But within a couple hours of me posting that job in our community — another club member whom we’ll call Jack — dropped this comment:

“Do your research and due diligence about Zac before you ask to work with. Might be interessting what facts you will find. Get paid upfront to reduce your risk.”


🤨🤨🤨

To me… this sounds like a direct accusation of business fraud or some personal controversy or whatever…

But before making snap judgements for either side…

I decided to dig in further myself.

So I scoured the internet to see if I can find something about Zac and his company that I maybe hadn’t seen before… I clicked at least twenty links on google (even made it to the second page of Google which I’m not sure I’ve ever been there LOL).. had Claude do Deep Research for me… went to his website… verified the customers on his website are real companies… I even checked his employees LinkedIn profiles to verify all that…

And you wouldn’t believe what I found…

NOTHING!

🤨🤨🤨

In the meantime… our club members started getting involved because obviously… they wanna know why the crap they shouldn’t connect with this guy about his $5,000/mo gig…

One club member direct messaged me saying:

“Hey man, you should check if someone hacked that dudes profile. What a random ass cryptic warning with no context at all. Has mispellings and everything.”

Another club member DM’d & said:

“Yo is this guy trying to deter people away so he can snag this gig? That’s dirty 🤣”

Even Zac replied to Jack’s comment with:

“Ummm what? I’d love to know what “due diligence” you found.”

Clearly…

I HAD TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE CRAP IS GOING ON!

Something smelt reeeeeeal fishy to me.

So first I reach out to Zac.

Here’s what I said:

“Just a heads up, I’m reaching out to Jack. An accusation like that is incredibly bothersome and I don’t appreciate the cryptic approach to it. I’d love to see how we can solve this between the three of us like men and be respectful. Sorry for that experience man. I’ve candidly not had any “shade” thrown from club members on anyone else so I wanna solve this quickly.”


Usually, I would have asked Zac “Do you know what this guy is talking about?” but based on his earlier public comment — he clearly had no idea.

Then Zac replied with this:

Thanks dude. It’s all good. Happy to chat.

Last night after he commented on my post about my podcast appearance, I deleted the post entirely to remove any drama and messaged him privately. But then he took it to the job post.

I’m very eager to discover what his “due diligence” discovered about me. Haha.


POST ABOUT THE PODCAST EXPERIENCE?

There was MORE DRAMA!?

What in the world is going on!?

So I asked Zac what the heck he was talking about.

Zac told me that he did a post inside of CopyCreator Club because he landed an interview with one of the biggest podcasts in his niche.

And apparently our boy Jack had a big raccoon up his gluteus assimus cause he immediately keyboard warrior’d this comment on that post:

I dont trust your words. Made some research about you. You are in this group only since 10 days just to talk about how good you might be? Strange behaviour and those numbers do not cover the results of my due dilligence about you. A lot of hot air only imho.


At this point, I’m getting a little pissed me.

More vague comments.

More random accusations for “due diligence” and “made some research about you” — yet no one knows what you're saying amigooo!

SO I DIRECTLY REACHED OUT TO OUR RACCOON AZZ BOY, JACK…

My entire message to him was very simple — I said:

“Can you specify what you’re referring here?” with a screenshot of his comments.

I intentionally left it open ended on the very off chance that Jacko Boy was telling the truth and found something incredibly DIRTY ROTTEN & NASTY about Zac... (like how I found out he was a missionary for Jesus for 5 years… REAL nasty stuff).

Well, buckle up…

Cause our boy Jacko sent me this back:

That thing is very obvious to me.
First of all, he is saying vague numbers without any proof.
and it seems like to me, that you just believed him without proving, where he is coming from and how bold his business really is.
If somebody is new in a group and claims like that, I jump onto google etc to check what is behind these guys.
And I found out, that he is only 18 months in the market. no real website, outdated domains and products. Looks like he is trying to find his way.

But he says he has a buisness, team and a lot of experience and customers. So this picture does not fit together for me. And if such people offer “jobs” I just wanted to say, that this might be risky.
If this is supported by you and you did not make that due dillegence and if this fails, then your reputation is crashing.
At the end I gave a small warning with the same level of information (without proof) like he claimed his job offer.
you are young and motivated. Maybe you lack the experience of checking people for seriousness. But if you want to save your reputition, you should do such simple due dilligence by yourself.

At least in the moment, if somebody is writing some warning. You just asked me. If you would have done the due dilligence by yourself you would have told me better facts or you wouldnt ask me at all because you would have found out the same like I did.

Now I wasted 15 minutes to write you details that you would have been able to do by yourself :-)
No more to say. Take care on your business and such “offers”

The second I read that I was like…

HAHAHA APPARENTLY SOMEONE FORGOT WHO RUNS THIS PLACE!

LET ME REMIND YOU:

IT’S ME.
EL DAD.
DA GOAT.

YOU’RE IN MY WORLD, BIG BOY.


So basically…

You’re a Duck McScrooge who (now confirmed) has a raccoon up your gluteus assimus because you couldn’t figure out how to work google to find his website, have zero proof of accusations… and you’re mad at a young guy who is crushing his agency and to top it all off… you have the GALL to speak to me, a 33 year old grown man who has been doing this marketing thing since you were a mere twinkle in your daddy's eye, like an insolent child?

Immediately…

I BANNED him from my club, my email list, my product cart & even my YouTube Channel.

Then I sent him this email…


Jack,

I want to close the loop on the exchange we had about Zac Garside.

Before his job post ever went up, I had already looked into his background which is exactly why I asked you to elaborate on your accusation instead of accepting it at face value.

Here’s what I found:

-His website is live and active: https://www.withsendit.com/, with real products and photos of his actual staff

-He’s appeared at trade shows and on podcasts in our industry

-The clients on his website have live URLs to their real website

-His LinkedIn shows his company was acquired 5 months ago, after 3 years in business (both verified)

-I spoke with Zac directly before his job post went up

-He’s hired people in our industry before — in fact, one of our own club members applied to work with him last year — and I spoke directly with someone who worked with Zac about their experience.

Your message accused a fellow club member of running a potentially fraudulent business, with no specifics to back it up other than your false skepticism (which your own message to me even claimed you had “no proof”).

What I found doesn’t match what you described at all. So we’re looking at two very different stories, which is exactly why I asked you to elaborate rather than take your version outright. Clearly, I was right to not accept your accusations at face value.

Beyond the facts being wrong, the tone of your message was incredibly disrespectful and childish — both toward him and toward me.

You claimed me a naive business operator and I have absolutely ZERO tolerance of being disrespected in my business.

Given that, I’ve removed you from CopyCreator Club, effective immediately. I’ve also processed a full refund for the remainder of your current billing cycle — you were only 11 days into your billing cycle but I refunded the entire month.

You’re also blocked from rejoining the club in the future, and I’ve removed you from my email list as well.

There’s no need to respond to this email.

TO TOP IT ALL OFF…

After I banned him, I saw in his Skool profile that he bleeeeeew through the masterclasses, content curriculum and practically anything he could get his hands on before he got booted out.

This guy clearly knew he was about to get banned…

Yet he knows my stuff is so dayum good, he’s gotta grab it all before getting that Belt To Azz.

Which is exactly why I made a quick decision to boot him out out before he had the chance to get his grubby little hands on this month’s brand spankin’ new Chronicles 9!
