I've been writing launch emails for ten years, and I've been writing launch emails for ten years, and the first thing I do on any project, before a single word, is figure out which phase I'm in. ☕

Because the question isn't "what should I write?" It's "what is this email for?" A pre-launch email warms people up. An open-cart email tells them it's here. A mid-launch email answers the question they won't ask. A close-cart email makes the deadline real.

Swipe for all five phases and what goes in each.

If you want the full list of copy for your own launch, my free Launch Copywriting Checklist builds it from a few yes/no answers about what you're launching.

Want the Launch Copywriting Checklist? Comment CHECKLIST and I'll send you the link.

The sweet spot is 80 to 250 words. Deal in the first line, one job, one button. That's the whole recipe. (Okay, and a subject line. And preview text. Details, details.)

Swipe for the rules and a little pre-send checklist. 👀

P.S. It's my birthday AND the last day of the $227 Launch Email Library price (midnight Pacific). 🎂 Want it, including the brand new Black Friday email templates? Comment LIBRARY and I'll send you the link!

Your AI-written launch email sounds like everybody Your AI-written launch email sounds like everybody else's AI-written launch email. 🫠

That's not you doing it wrong. AI predicts the most likely next word, so what comes out is average. A better prompt doesn't fix that. Better inputs do.

Here's what I'd do instead (swipe for all of it):

☕ Give it your decisions first: the offer, the deadline, who it's for and the one objection you're answering
☕ Feed it your real words: your voice rules and emails you've actually sent
☕ Draft one email at a time, not the whole launch
☕ Ask it to stress-test your draft, not rewrite you out of it
☕ You make the calls. AI drafts, you decide. In that order.

Save this for the day you sit down to write yours. 📌

The Launch Email Library is $70 off ($227 instead of $297) through Friday, October 16 at midnight Pacific. Want the link? Comment LIBRARY and I'll send it over.

If your Black Friday email reads like a launch ema If your Black Friday email reads like a launch email, it's too long. 👀 

Launch emails teach, convince, overcome objections, tell stories, etc. etc. etc. But Black Friday emails are simpler. They say what's on sale, when the sale ends and where to click. That's it.

Someone who's going to buy from you on Black Friday already knows, likes, and trusts you - and she has a card in her hand, ready to spend! 

My free audio training, Black Friday Emails That Make Bank, is live now (about 30 minutes, listen anywhere, anytime). Drop a BLACKFRIDAYBABY in the comments if you want the link!
