#2It's like one of those daytime TV commercials for a new kind of blender, but he's selling his own kind of email hucksterism. Ugh.

#3Nails on a chalkboard marketing BS.
Hard to say who is worse, people who make money selling advice to others on how to make money or people who give them money.

HN users have traditionally been very interested in sharing their experiences in the software business (among, obviously, many other interests). If that doesn't interest you, that's quite alright, but it's not "hucksterism".
Also, 'patio11 is one of HN's most valued contributors (as evidenced by his position on the leaderboard). That doesn't mean that he should be exempted from any criticism, but I think in any healthy community it would at least merit a level of respect that your comment lacks.

This comment is complete BS. If this isn't your thing, that's fine, but Patio11 is generous with his time, advice, and best practices. Moreover, unlike most of the marketing types out there, he has put all of his suggestions into practice.
Comments like this represent everything wrong with our community. It was not constructive in any way, and it was not meant to help the author. Rather, it was meant to be spiteful and mean.

I'm guessing "kalzumeus.com" and/or "zeeshanm" is "'patio11", but I'm not plugged into the community enough to recognize this august citizen. The article reads like a sleazy, low-grade sales pitch, so I don't see why it deserves any particular respect.

#8As I read this - I felt like I've read it before.
Then I realised it is just a duplicate of https://training.kalzumeus.com/newsletters/archive/lifecycle....
Its almost the exact same content - just a slightly newer version with 2-3 small typo changes, and is a couple of years old

If you have ever successfully done internet (and in particular, email) marketing, you would know that this is not BS.
Targeted emailing works. Your potential customers are engaging with you for a reason, they often need some kind of activation energy (that speaks to their situation) in order to enter their credit card information.
