E. came to me with no direction on monetising 212 followers zero nurtured fans and too many monetising paths to choose from within 26 days we completely turned that around launched his email list and launched his welcome sequence + lead magnet now he's getting 88% open rates 82% CTOR 72% CTR here's what we did first E. was watching others in his niche exploding with high ticket clients and he wanted his piece of that cake but he was stuck not knowing which path to take “should i start outreaching?” “should i try get inbounds from my posts?” “should i launch an email list and get clients that way?” spend time on all three and you'll get nowhere he wanted to show off his results he was his own social proof but had zero clue how to show it so he DM'd me and we go started E. is a gut health coach for the guy who trains the guy who does everything right sleeps well hits his protein trains 4-5x a week spends money on supplements and still aint seeing the results he knows he deserves and the thought that keeps his ICP up at night aint "i need to train harder im lazy" its "what if all this effort is wasted permanently and i've hit my ceiling for my physique?" that's the EXACT pain we opened up with in his sequence here's what it looked like first we hit that inner monologue that his ICP shares then we walked his subs through the mechanism the science behind why their gut is suppressing their testosterone and holding their gains hostage in a way that made them think "oh shit thats exactly whats happening to me" then we gave them the fix not only did we just give em the fix we gave it them in a way they'd fully understand and trust by playing on the way they think and operate specific evidence based and mechanism driven and within 5 days of launching he's getting 88.9% opens 81.3% CTOR and 72.2% CTR all from a BRAND NEW list built from scratch on an account with 500 followers no viral posts promoting his newsletter having dm people his lead magnet or ad spend turns out he didn't need crazy inbounds or 10 hours of outreach a week all he needed was a sequence built around making his subscribers feel so understood that opening every email felt personal and specific to them and thats because it was... here's what YOU get wrong abt emails you think your low open rate is a subject line problem and your low click rate is a writing problem newsflash: THEY'RE NOT a relationship problem is the core of all your problems and a relationship with your subs is built within the first few hours (then after that) the next 5 days after they subscribe weekly emails sent to mfs who forgot your name only make it worse they think "who tf is this dweeb? i dont remember subbing to his list" and if you've got a list that aint generating numbers like E's is that means you haven't built that relationship with your subscribers dm "scale" and i'll show you how we’ll build that loyal relationship with your subscribers and get them to open every email of yours to scale you past 10k/month

@ecom_cork cocaine

Yes.

@breallstrong esoterically this means you're protected from glowies

Set a 15 minute timer to meditate and opened my eyes the literal second my timer went off. What does this mean?

@ylolyfe thats true. thing is even that one prompt will fuck up the whole thing and if heavy edits are needed then you're fucked or you do it manually

@SimpleWriting_ genuinely i have a notion file with all the prompts and prompt edits and usually i get it to mass write projects so that one time use is worth it

claude must have a lobotomy > prompt it once for new content schedule > mess up and go to edit the prompt > successfully edit the prompt > usage limit hit one prompt and one edit and can't use it till 8pm smh

@pngtyler based

@ecom_cork patrick star profile pic

This is kind of true lol My TikTok has millions of views and thousands of comments from women who will never be my wife.

@DejaRu22 real nigga shit?

When was the last time you spent hours diligently researching some RNS ?

@StefStojanovski scam

@SimpleWriting_ Had to switch acc a few days ago due to getting hacked almost everywhere Bought pro AGAIN And the usage was still like the free version FOR A WHOLE WEEK Even tho I bought pro... Words can't describe how mad I was

@ylolyfe when you rely externally for inner happiness then you're fucked. you'll have the worst downs

most people think fun is clubs and concerts. flashing lights. loud music. drunk strangers. standing in a packed room pretending you're having the time of your life. and i don't get it. there's no risk. no stakes. no adrenaline. just noise and performance. you pay to be uncomfortable for four hours then go home and feel empty. that's not fun. that's distraction. real fun has risk attached to it. speeding down an empty highway at 2am when you probably shouldn't. closing a deal that could change everything or blow up in your face. building something from nothing with no guarantee it'll work. making money while everyone else is sleeping. deep conversations at 3am that actually matter instead of small talk over bass you can't think through. physical exhaustion from something that demanded everything you had. that edge where something could go wrong but you're skilled enough that it probably won't. that's fun. not safe. not approved. not what everyone else is doing. actual adrenaline. actual stakes. actual aliveness. most people will never understand this because they've been told fun is consumption. go somewhere. pay for entry. consume an experience someone else designed. but real fun is creation and risk. building something. testing limits. dancing with consequences. and only a few people actually get that. the ones who've tasted both and realized parties feel hollow compared to the rush of making $5'000 in a day. or the focus required to handle a car at speeds that demand complete presence. or the satisfaction of a conversation so deep you lose track of time. conventional fun is for people who need external stimulation because they're empty internally. real fun is for people who've built something inside themselves worth risking. most won't get this. and that's fine. they'll keep going to raves wondering why they feel nothing the next day. while you're experiencing life at a frequency they'll never access. the frameworks for building a life where risk and reward replace distraction are in my free telegram. link in my bio. ylo out...

@mihai_vie do they have to specifically be Japanese or are they just the best and the others are still good?

These go in the cart every single week. Shoutout Matt Ogus for putting me on Japanese sweet potatoes circa 2011. Inarguably one of the most complete carb sources. Prep can be as easy as baking until very soft. So sweet it'll make you doubt their nutritional value. Theyre dense, very satiating, and loaded with potassium. Cool them for the resistant starch and prebiotic effect. And for you neurotics, the skin has a minimal antinutrient profile and can be eaten. They’re easy to find. Whole Foods, Sprouts, and most grocers carry them. Highly recommend

@StefStojanovski yes

@SimpleWriting_ Forcefully push them through the finish line ;)

You’re burning money you could’ve easily had. And the worst part is You’re not even aware of it. Your newest launch just ended. And it might be the best you’ve ever had. Now you’re relieved it’s over and want to recover. That’s exactly why you’re burning easy money. Job’s not done yet. There are people on your list right now who opened your landing page. Read the whole thing. Scrolled to the bottom. And didn’t buy. Not because they weren’t interested. Because they wanted to be sure. One email could’ve fixed it. But you never sent it. You were too busy celebrating the sales you got. To follow up on the ones you almost had…

@StefStojanovski lmao good point

@SimpleWriting_ Simple for us Some of these guys have only written short form stuff that had made 0 impact in people's lives...

"I’ll start focusing more on emails from Monday.” How many times have you said this to yourself? How many times have you actually done it? And yes, I know Client work can pile up fast Health problems come out of nowhere Unexpected things happen consistently in life But let me tell you what happens in the meantime. Your own list is getting emails from somebody else. Somebody who has systems in place. Or somebody who has hired an expert. That’s who you’re competing with.

@second_bassoon dont get how people cant tell this is AI

I saw a comment under a client vid that said "the actor who played teenaged you was spot on!" Or something along those lines. The viewer had no idea they weren't watching a real person. And I can tell you that for those who *are* aware, the grand majority just don't care. As long as the story is good and they enjoy it, that's all that matters.

@DougKennedy93 objection handling in content is OP

Your pipeline has a pattern. Same objections. Same delays. Same “circling back.” That’s not a sales issue. It means your content isn’t doing its job before the call.

@thewilliamrb they've got a reason for everything and do things strategically don't overlook the little actions your audience takes

certain founders seem to pull clients from thin air there's nothing flashy about what they post. no viral moments, no massive following, nothing you'd call a strategy from the outside. but they're always talking to someone. calls on the calendar every week. generating revenue from Twitter like it's clockwork. i convinced myself they had something i didn't. some authority "hack" that made people reach out without being pushed. so i went and studied what they were posting. matched their formats. rewrote my hooks to sound more like theirs. posted at the same clip. engagement started climbing. felt like i was getting somewhere. months in and yet still zero calls booked. another month, better numbers - still nothing converting. eventually stopped looking at the content and started watching what they did around it. they replied to every comment. DMed the people who engaged more than once. came back two or three days later when someone went quiet. none of it was complicated. just work i wasn't doing. the content was getting attention. they were the ones turning that attention into actual conversations. two separate jobs i'd spent months pretending were one.

its small but huge when put into action recently helped a huge SaaS brand with cold email and learned something small but important when describing a pain your audience has NEVER generalize what's being affected e.g "here's how your welcome sequence kills your brand" what exactly is their brand??? client acquisition? reputation? trust? you must connect the dots FOR them pretend they've got ZERO clue on what you're talking about they ain't gonna connect the dots themselves they'll just ignore your email

@DanielAchog some would say the writing is the easy part

Copywriting: - 20% writing - 80% research Never skip research day.
