ISN Email to You - Beware! Read Between the Lines

I can always tell when ISN has done one of its mailings.

No -- I don't get them. I'm persona non-grata. Believe me, I've been removed from all their email lists!

Instead, I find my numbers of blog visitors go up. You can see the numbers to the right of this post. Since yesterday, about 20 people have visited.

Did you get an email that looks or sounds something like this one? Please take a moment to read how I've broken it down. You'll see that it's not all it's cracked up to be.

Yesterday I heard from someone who had been contacted by Brenda, too. Brenda used to work for the International Speaker's Network. She was working there back in the day when I was trying to get them to follow through on their promises. But then, about the same time the word came out that Brenda was, in fact, a felon -- she left and started her own gig, called Willow Mist.

I'm just sayin'

Got Lawsuits?

I heard from another burned ISN customer this morning. A gentleman who was likewise burned by ISN -- only this time it was part of the publication of his book. It seems that the book, promised to him within a few months, was delivered just days before the one-year deadline. Even then, the cover was wrong.

Sadly, of course, this is not the first time I've heard this story. But this time there was a twist -- the question of whether I knew of anyone already pursuing a lawsuit?

I'll be putting him in touch with the others who have asked me that question.... but I'll ask it here, too:

If you have filed or considered a lawsuit against ISN, Bookaspeaker, Insight Publishing, the Innovators Group (or any of their other DBAs), or would like to be put in touch with others who have or are considering one.... will you send me an email? I'll put you all in touch with each other.....
