"Yours are the only emails I actually open and read" - a regular reply in my inbox since 2009...and I'll bet in yours, too, once you subscribe and learn by pure, lazy osmosis to become the most compelling writer around. That said, no promises on improving your moral character.
It started with 25 cents.

“It started with twenty-five cents.” That’s the first line of Julie Chenell’s book, and as soon as I started it, I was hooked. I LOVE a rags to riches story. Julie grew up the eldest of three kids in a town her family couldn’t afford. She was laughed at on the school bus for their crappy-looking house and car. Years later, as a broke, stay-at-home mom, she made twenty-five cents online and realized something big. This internet thing could actually work. (You really never forget the first dollar — or quarter — you made online. I know it sure lit a fire under this here butt.) That teeny payout turned into her first business, then a multimillion-dollar company. Today she co-runs Funnel Gorgeous, a digital education brand that’s helped thousands of entrepreneurs start and grow online businesses. Her book, Million Dollar Grit, is real, funny, and full of the moments most people skip when they tell their success stories. And it’s out today! If you like stories that pull you in and make you think, “OK, maybe I can do this too,” get this one. Happy binge-reading! xoLaura PS - Julie’s a smart one. A webinar genius, she took a look at a previous recording of the Emails That Sell class I’m teaching you on Wednesday and gave me incredible feedback. I’m making just a few little tweaks, because she said the content is “FLIPPING fantastic.” Her caveat is that it’s so good, you might be fired up to leave and start cranking out emails right away. I promise I won’t make it less good — just even more tempting to stay till the end, which you should. Make sure you’re signed up here.

Wow, WOW! What a fabulous turnout yesterday for the Emails That Sell workshop. If you missed any part of it or just want to relive the aha-fest, here’s the limited-time workshop replay. And here’s something else: I announced during the class that I’ve opened a sneaky side door to join my bestselling email copywriting course, Inbox Hero, for an enormous discount! It’s going to help make your emails... ✅ compulsively readable, ✅ powerfully persuasive, ✅ impossible NOT to open, and...best of...
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...
Hello Reader, I hope that you are well. I recently had the privilege of delivering a thought-leadership session to marketing visionary Brian Kurtz’s distinguished Titans Xcelerator, where I unpacked proprietary frameworks for leveraging narrative-driven touchpoints to deepen audience immersion and accelerate revenue generation across the email ecosystem so that — WAIT! DON’T GO! That wasn’t me, that was a PowerPoint deck speaking through my body. It happens when I forget to eat lunch. What I...
