Creators are getting slaughtered with their newsletters right now.

They spend hours crafting (what they think is) a beautiful newsletter, hit send, and then wonder why nobody’s buying their stuff.

I started my first newsletter in 2012.

And along the way, I’ve seen (and made) every newsletter mistake you can imagine.

Your newsletter is doomed to failure because of this

The internet is as noisy as a busy construction site.

And do you know why your newsletter doesn’t stand out?

You’re sending out disguised blog posts once a week.
You want to add more “value.” So you stuff your newsletter with even MORE ideas.
Long essays with bullet points, headers, and perfect grammar.
