A few weeks ago, Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel unveiled their new smart glasses at a big press event.
The cost?
$2,195.
Which, if you ask me…
Is a pretty penny to look THIS silly:

Seriously - who greenlit these things??
They look ridiculous lol
Even compared to the Meta glasses (which I just bought… and also look a bit goofy).
Anyway, the internet was predictably savage.
And to make matters worse…
The stock price dropped roughly 10% in two days.
Ouch.
Now, here's the ironic part:
By all accounts, the tech inside them is legitimately impressive.
The problem is Snapchat has been chasing these smart glasses for close to a decade now.
Multiple versions have come and gone.
Yet the company keeps building them because their CEO thinks they're the future.
Meanwhile, the market keeps telling him the same thing over and over again:
Thanks, but no thanks.
The most expensive mistake in business is building what YOU think people want instead of what they actually respond to.
Sadly, I see coaches, consultants, and course creators make this exact mistake with their email strategy all the time.
They spend 3-4 hours crafting a long educational email packed with tips and frameworks...
Because it FEELS good.
It shows off how smart and knowledgeable they are…
And they imagine subscribers being so grateful to receive these value-packed emails…
That they’re basically tripping over themselves and rushing to buy.
Unfortunately:
This is the email equivalent of trying to sell $2,195 smart glasses that don’t even look cool.
It simply doesn’t work.
Meanwhile, the creators making daily sales from their email list…
Are writing shorter and more personal emails that emphasize storytelling instead of free value…
Because that’s how you activate buyers.
Not by giving away the store.
Speaking of which:
If you've been staring at your email metrics wondering why a list of 3,000... 5,000... 10,000+ subscribers isn't generating consistent revenue...
