harsh truth for anyone drinking value koolaid

I’m running a crazy experiment right now:

For anyone who signs up for a 7-day trial of the community and decides to stick around after their trial ends…

I’m offering a done-for-you email that sells.

And this isn’t some lame ass template I get ChatGPT to fill out either…

This is a bespoke email (written by yours truly) to sell your offer.

Will I stick with it?

TBD.

But in the meantime:

I just delivered the first one to a new community member the other day.

(in a niche I knew literally NOTHING about, I might add lol)

Anyway, in reviewing his intake form…

He mentioned that he’d been following the “value first” approach, which seemed to work out of the gate…

But interest for his offer had since dried up.

Which, unfortunately, is something I know all about.

It’s exactly what happened to me when I tried to run the value creator playbook.

It’s something I see with many other members of my audience too.

So here’s the harsh truth:

If your audience has been trained from Day 1 to expect “hard value” (aka tactics, how-to, etc) for free…

Then sending ONE story-driven email isn’t gonna magically transform their appetite.

You can still make plenty of sales, don’t get me wrong…

(depending on the size of your list)

But it’s an ideological shift you have to commit fully to if you want to reap the real rewards.

Kinda like turning an oil tanker around.

It may be uncomfortable at first…

Especially when you see unsubscribes tick up…

Or get emails from angry subscribers because you *GASP* tried to sell something lol

Yet I promise you:

This approach will prove much more profitable (and enjoyable) in the long run :)

On that note:

If you'd like to stop giving away your best work for free and start building an audience that actually pays you…

Then grab your 7-day trial of the Newsletter Freedom community below.

Inside, you'll get the exact roadmap I’m using to grow and monetize my list in just 5-10 hours per week…

Plus access to a tight-knit group of coaches, experts, and creators who are all making the same ideological shift from "value" to profit.

And if you decide to stick around after your trial ends…

As mentioned above:

I'll write you a custom story-driven email that sells…

Tailored to your voice and audience.

(A service I don’t offer anywhere else for ANY price.)

So if you're sick of training your audience to expect everything for free…

And ready to build a newsletter that actually pays the bills...
