Episode notes
Edit By Reading Aloud And Experiment
- Read emails out loud during editing to catch awkward phrasing and make copy sound natural and smooth.
- Experiment continually: some formats will fail, and those failures teach you what to stop doing.
Experiment With Small Lists
- Start experimenting once you have a few hundred subscribers; you can make money and learn from small lists.
- Use experiments to test formats, frequency, and hooks rather than waiting for large audiences.
Short Stories Pack Big Impact
- Stories increase retention and help readers internalize lessons more than plain how-to instructions.
- Short stories work too; a three-line anecdote can teach as effectively as a long narrative.
