Email Copywriting

If you’re a writer who is consistently plagued by the FOMO of “Should I make videos or not?” Then this may be one of the most helpful emails you read. Yesterday, I had this conversation with CopyCreator Club Member Britt Malka. BRITT: I hate the word “motivation” because I don’t believe in it. Habit is stronger. But how did you mange to create videos regularly? How did you go from writing to videos? ALIN: I’ve been averaging two long form videos a month for 18 months, which is actually half...

I cannot stop thinking about this prediction from Paul Graham… I’m usually reluctant to make predictions about technology, but I feel fairly confident about this one: in a couple decades there won’t be many people who can write. The reason so many people have trouble writing is that it’s fundamentally difficult. To write well you have to think clearly, and thinking clearly is hard. And yet writing pervades many jobs, and the more prestigious the job, the more writing it tends to require. But...

Yesterday, I had some veryyyyyyy interesting conversations on Twitter about “daily emails.” Which... side note... I haven’t tweeted “content” in a while. I’ve gone ol’ school Twitter and treat it like a “think out loud” space. I’ll ask questions I’m genuinely curious about. Or post about something that worked in my business to get feedback.

His parents are now suing OpenAI for “wrongful death” after they scoured Adam’s computer & found really disturbing conversations between himself and ChatGPT. At first, Adam was just using ChatGPT...

Here’s a crazy story I’ve never told. Back in December 2025, I had my first cancellation inside of CopyCreator Club. Which initially bummed me out cause it was just 30 days after I launched it. So I reached out to the girl who cancelled and sent her this email… (Name has been changed to protect her identity) Hey Kathy, Bummed to see you cancel CopyCreator Club. What made you decide to head out? No pressure to reply. It just helps me figure out what works in the club and what doesn’t. I...

Yesterday I walked through the door of my house after being gone for a few days… “DAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!” My three kiddos burst out of the hallway and koala jumped on me! “Hey guys!” “DAD! WE MISSED YOU! YOU’RE BACK!” “Missed you guys 🥰” “Dad, don’t leave anymore!” “Haha buddy I was gone for two days” “That’s too long, dad!” “Haha I think you’re just used to having me home 24/7 bud.” WHICH IS ACTUALLY KINDA CRAZY CAUSE… When I look around my neighborhood… The average American has their kids in...
