Hey! Just so you don’t think I’m trash-talking my friend Suzanne, she’d admit this herself: Her email game used to kind of…suck. First of all, because she barely wrote any. She had a dormant list of thousands of writers, and they almost never heard from her. Ugh, I can’t. Do you know how much it hurts me to see a wasted email list? It’s like watching someone let their sundae melt. Give it to me, then! (Except you can’t give someone your email list — illegal.) Suzanne had always counted on word of mouth to fill her high-ticket program, Gateless Writing Academy. She didn’t bother much with emails, which meant fewer people ever learned about it. Sucks to be the ones who missed out! Yes, I nagged her. And when she did send an email, it gave “grad school thesis” energy — all precious and fancy-pants. Hifalutin’, if you will. She used a “literary” tone she’d never use with a friend. But this past year, she tried the style I teach. Even though she’s a natural storyteller, it was still a shift to write this way in her business. Well…girlfriend NAILED it. She started cranking out emails so good, I flagged them to use later as examples. One made it into my training Email Cash Cow under “Profit Boosters” because it’s so persuasive. And that’s not all. Not only were subscribers telling her, “These emails are so good, I can’t stop reading them”... But she also had — wait for it — Her BIGGEST YEAR EVER of enrollment for her program. We’re talking 1.5x the number of spots she normally fills (from 50-ish to 77)! And 150% of the revenue, too. Oh, and there’s more. She also told me this: “I found out quality emails bring in quality people.” This year, thanks to those emails, she had the highest-caliber professional writers ever join the Academy. “Screenwriters who’ve sold huge movies to Paramount,” she reported. “TV writers who’ve been in writers’ rooms forever.” That’s because her emails… A) Got the word out to more people, And B) CONNECTED with those people, letting them get to know her and her POV. And they loved it. You can do this too. Great things happen when people love your emails. Can I show you how to write the kind they love? If it’s a yes, come to: 🎤EMAILS THAT SELL YES, YOU’LL GET A REPLAY See you then! xoLaura PS - If your problem is not sending enough emails, I’ve got you.

Hey Reader, Heather Campbell’s been “wanting” to do video. For years. A returning member of my mastermind/live mentoring party, Shrimp Club, she’s talked about it in a few hot seats. “I can’t seem to get started with video. I don’t know what’s stopping me. Must be the ADHD.” Each time, I point out that she’s a natural on video. Always the first to unmute on our Zooms. Tons to say. No fumbling, no ums, ers, or uhs. She hosts a podcast. No problem talking on camera, that one. And she knows who...
Hi! You know I started a Substack, right? Maybe not. Got it up and running about 5 weeks ago with this maiden post: It explains why I started a newsletter on Substack when I already have a whole thing going on over here with you, my email subscriber. It’s not about growing a huge audience — though that would be nice. It’s not about a fat new income stream from paid subscriptions or affiliate links — though that would be super nice. It’s not about getting in early on a new platform — though...
Hey Reader, This past week’s mixer for Selena Soo’s Rich Relationships Club was all about speaking. In our breakout room, we took turns answering the question, “What’s your ideal speaking gig?” When I described mine, I referenced one of the most fun events I’ve ever spoken at, Atomicon. It’s back this June — highly recommend. Early-bird tickets are 90% gone, so get yours now. I have to say, I tamped down my answer a bit because my dream speaking gig is a tall order. It takes place on a...
