Email Copywriting

"smells scammy AF"


Here’s a true story:

A wee while ago, one of my Email Subscribers asked me my opinion of a “guru” they were thinking of buying a course from.

Here’s exactly what was asked:


El Copy Goat, Do you know ______? Is he legit?

A friend of mine sent me his sales letter for his AI copywriting course but this smells scammy AF.

Would love your thoughts.


“AI copywriting course” smells scammy before I even click the link 🤣

But I didn’t know jack squat about the guy he was asking my opinion about.

Never met the guy.

Never read his (ChatGPT?) copy.

Couldn’t care less.

I only follow and study the best. The legends. The daddys. The senseis of the sales. So unless your name floats into my world because my Inner Circle has told me I must study you… I don’t pay attention it.

But the question (and the crappy AI sales page) was perfect fodder for my email list, haha.

So I wrote a fantastically info-taining email about it.

Answering this guys question and giving my thoughts on the copy.

Emphasis on: the copy.

I.e. I didn’t say the guy was a fraud or legit or not whatever.

Cause again… I don’t know the guy.

But apparently… I stirred the pot regardless haha 🫣

(Which candidly is always good for bidniz anyway)

Someone forwarded my email about this guy’s AI copywriting course to Said Guru.

Said Guru then fired off a mediocre email to his list about me.

I then double downed on the opportunity to entertain my subscribers by writing an infinitely better response to Said Gurus mediocre email.

That response was so good… so entertaining… so profitable… that Daniel Throssell used it as an example inside of his Dark Persuasion Secrets secret live training (that was only available to certain buyers like myself who invested in a specific product of his).

Which of course then further put me on the map in the copywriting world.

Injected more subscribers into my list.

Created more sales for my business.

And all the other good things that comes from having your name around Industry Celebs like Daniel Throssell (and Ben Settle, Brian Kurtz, Chris Orzy… etc)

If you wanna hear this full story in detail (including a link to study the email I fired back that Daniel Throssell used)..

It's in my brand new Chronicles 6...

How To Collaborate With Industry Celebrities, Make Out Like a Bandit & Get Invited To Do It… AGAIN!

Where you’ll learn…

*How a random Romanian guy with zero connections landed a collaboration with one of the most followed copywriters on the internet (using a method so simple it almost sounds made up)

*The one thing I did during my first launch with Daniel Throssell that made a second collaboration almost inevitable (before we even made a single dollar together)

Why the *Client Keeper launch was “limping” along through day two with sales far below target and the single email that turned it around almost instantly. (It had nothing to do with the offer, the price, or the copy)

*Why over half of the buyers in both launches spent more money *after they already bought (and the exact funnel behind it that had nothing to do with pressure or urgency)

*What I privately sent Daniel after the first launch wrapped that most affiliates never even think to do (it wasn’t a text, email, or offer)

*The real reason I pulled two of my best-performing products off the market after launch and why keeping them for sale would have actually cost me more money…

*How a completely unrelated personal disaster Daniel was dealing with mid-launch became the most persuasive sales argument for *Client Keeper

*The two-word claim I built the entire *Client Keeper sales page around that no one else in the industry could make (and how to find your own version of it for any offer you’re creating)

*How I got Ben Settle to publicly write about me to *his list (without asking him to or paying him)

*How I got Brian Kurtz to come on my podcast… and speak in my community… before he had any clue who I was!

*The thing I said to another “copywriter” who publicly called me out and tried to embarrass me… but it ended with him shutting his pothole and Daniel Throssell featuring my email response in a $5,000 training. (It was ugly and incredible)

*Why 52% of my best-paying members all trace back to a single event
