In today`s edition of ππ£π ππ€π§π, I`m taking a look at how the word "ethical" is used in business & marketing. I propose that whatβs ethical for you is going to be where you put down stakes in a landscape of endless tension.
The tension between reach and respect.
Between persuasion and manipulation.
Between what converts and what aligns.

We`re talking about YOU over on One Word this week. Often, when we lean too heard on I/You constructions, we inadvertently separate ourselves from the people we actually want to connect with. Where`s the line, exactly?

The latest "One Word" re-examines the word πππππππππππ and takes a look at the arguments for and against using them in sales pages. (Of course, there`s a fun fact about the word and testicles!).

The most recent "One Word" email re-examines what we might mean when we use the word "afford." This word is ANCIENT, y`all. Like Iron Age old. And the ways in which it has evolved have a lot to tell us about how we look at the resources available to us.
That`s what we`re dishing in the latest One Word. Join us!
