Yesterday, I got cold email that had me weak at the knees and ready to pull my credit card out…

But somehow I resisted the urge to send this person thousands of dollars!

I’m not sure how but I think we should dissect the email together, waddya say!?

Below is the EXACT email I got (with my commentary 😄)

​

Subject line: Alin, I’m breaking all the rules—read this

(Sounds dirty, let’s do it!)

​

Hey Alin, You’re probably curious about that subject line, so I’m here to confirm your suspicions.

(That I’m about to be pitched? Haha)

​

And I’m afraid they’re true.

Yes, this is in fact one of those dreaded sales emails you hate receiving that usually ends up in the trash.

(Why would I do that when I could turn this into content? 😏)

​

So I made sure I properly marked it for you to hit ‘delete.’

Go on, hit that big old trash can up top, you know you want to. I’ll wait…….Still here?

(You got me, it worked perfectly, I’m still reading… how in the DICKENS did you get me to do that?!?)

​

Still here? MAYBE you’re just curious enough to see what kinda bullshit I’m about to pitch

(You want me to delete your emails and your product is bullsh*t? I’m so CURIOUS 🤩)

​

You’ve probably never heard of me.

And my clients like it that way.

They call me “The best kept secret weapon”

(googled your email & name — the internet hasn’t heard of you either 🤭)

​

I’m the behind-the-scenes guy brands call when they’re sick of emails that sound like TED talks and sell like wet socks.

(Is that why you’re cold emailing me…? Cause so many clients are calling you??)

​

What I actually do? Welcome flows that actually welcome people and sell while doing it.

(Sell in the welcome sequence?! Never heard of it 🫨)

​

I write Daily emails that don’t read like diary entries

(More concepts that are COMPLETELY FOREIGN TO ME! 😄)

​

Open + click rates that don’t make you cry into your metrics

(The two metrics that matter the least — go on LOL)

​

And launches that hit like tequila on an empty stomach

(You launch instant diarrhea??? 💩)

​

I won’t waste your time bragging about “brands I’ve worked with” or numbers I could easily fake in Canva.

(Definitely DO NOT waste your time on ANY PROOF that tells me you know what you’re doing… 😜)

​

I’ll show you. Wrote a fresh welcome email just for you.

(except you didn’t attach it??)

​

But I’m not just gonna sling you a Google Doc outta nowhere. That’s weird.

(Is it weird because you didn’t actually write it? 🙂)

​

It follows the same framework that bumped one client’s email revenue by 301%

(Is this the “numbers you could easily fake in Canva” part?)

​

If you’re even a little bit curious, reply with something unhinged like “yes daddy” or just “sure” if you’re bored. And I’ll send it your way.

(Yes Daddy!?!?! YOU ASKED ME TO REPLY WITH “YES DADDY”?!?!?!)

​

Blocked.

Reported.

Blacklisted.

Marked as spam.

And publicly dismantled 🤣

​

Listen…

​

I’m not knocking the guy's hustle.

You gotta get that dough somehow, right!? Haha.

But is THIS what we’ve come to!?

Cold emailing weird AF with ZERO proof, clarity, or credibility whatsoever!?

You should get a refund on whatever cold email course you bought 😄

But I get it… the copywriting space is competitive!

You gotta stand out somehow!

Or…

You could just…

(Watch this 👀)

Build.

Your.

Own.

Brand.

​

​

Hahah mind blowing right!?

It’s called being a CopyCreator.

You take your copywriting skills + personal passion = CopyCreator!

Like my friend Jeffrey who writes a weekly newsletter on running.

Copywriting (Newsletter) + Running (Personal Passion) = CopyCreator

Or my guy Ian Roth who writes a paid newsletter about luxury watches…

He has paid subscribers + sells sponsorships to the newsletter.

Because it’s 2025 and you can MONETIZE ANY PASSION.

(Without beggin' for clients)

So if you’re a copywriter tired of slingin’ weird stuff in people's inboxes hoping to land a client you could really give two rips about…

Reply to this email with “CopyCreator”

I want to share an idea with you that I’m cookin’ up…

I’m not ready to share it publicly yet... so I’m going to send you a private video.

Let me know and I’ll send it right over.

Your copywriting friend,

Alin “CopyCreator” Dragu
