Hey Reader, I'll never forget the first time I read a post from a "writer" saying if you don't get up at 5am to write every day, you're never gonna make it. Hot damn, the way my blood boiled. "Don't you dare tell me to get out of bed before my toddlers make me, you a#$@#!" Oof, that was cathartic. Anyways, my point: Getting readers emotional is the best way to make them remember you. In my case, I was in the 10% of readers who had a negative reaction to his post. The other 90% probably loved...

Hey Reader, Psssst...9 hours left to buy before the price goes up by 3x. I just finished an AMA session in the Superpath community. And my friend Eric asked a fantastic question that's relevant to launches: I love this question because: There's no easy way to do this But if you're up for the challenge, it's such a high ROI skill I needed to reply with my voice cuz I had to dig deep, and I do that better on the fly and out loud. (I technically shouldn't share this here cuz it was a private...

Hey Reader, Today is the last day to buy the Launch Content Playbook before the price goes up by 3x. If you’re a discerning buyer like me, you’re probably weighing the pros and cons of investing. I literally weigh the pros and cons of buying spicy pickles at the farmer’s market each week, so I get it. Pros: Pickles are delicious. Cons: They're super high in sodium. The pro wins 100% of the time, so I should prob just accept that. Anyway, I want to help you weigh the pros and cons of the...

Hey Reader, Most people? They play a game of Cornhole with their launch content and get results like this: I want you to imagine that every missed bean bag is a missed opportunity for conversion. But every bag that goes through the hole? Cha-ching-a-ling-ding-dong-wahoooooo. I think people assume they can “just wing” launch content because no one talks about launch strategies. Not when it comes to content, anyways. So they blindly copy what other people do and assume/hope it’ll work. Or wing...

Hey Reader, Sweating. That's how I remember feeling the first time I ever launched something. My twins were 2.5 months old. I was barely sleeping. But I'd been working on this ebook since before they were born, and I had this overwhelming urge to launch it. I needed to get it out of my head and into the world. And I knew if I didn't, I'd try to perfect it forever, and I no longer had the luxury of time on my side. So, I wrapped my Google doc in a shitty Canva template and hit publish on this...
