Learn how to build a hot community of ready-to-buy subscribers by writing one value-packed, fun-to-read newsletter, once a week.
When I can't be bothered to slap on concealer and spend 4 hours scripting, filming, editing, and posting a reel, I can bang out one value-packed, reply-worthy email and STILL warm-up my audience and sell my stuff. (Psst: that’s exactly what we do inside The Subscribe Society).
But annoying as it is, it's actually true. Sending regular emails to an audience who literally opted-in to hear from you *is* the easiest, most reliable way to build a hot hot hot audience and grow your business...

Create freebies that bring the right people onto your list, and actually keep the subscribers you worked so hard to attract with a high-converting welcome sequence.
The best way to write and send consistent newsletters? To actually ENJOY the process of sitting down and writing it every week. You'll learn how to articulate your core message, define your content themes, and design a repeatable, signature newsletter format you—and your audience—are excited about.
You *don’t* need to dress up like a wavy-infatable tube man to make (email) sales. You just need to turn your everyday stories into story-led emails people wanna read. I’ll show ya how. Don't wanna write long-ass stories? You don't have to! You can explore plenty of format types that works for you.
All it takes is one (good) email a week to build an engaged community, trust, and keep your audience coming back—so when you launch your thing it’ll be a full-bodied “yes” to work with you.
Map out strategic newsletter topics that support what you’re selling each quarter, so every single newsletter has a purpose (and you’re not winging it the night before)

I don’t know about you, but my ADHD brain needs some motivation to get stuff done. Let’s gamify your to-dos with quarterly challenges like: promote your freebie, pre-launch warm-up plan, and more. (VIP ONLY)
I’m not an expert in everything! So we’ll have Meta Ads pros, segmentation baddies, launch queens, and design besties inside our community to teach you peripheral skills that’ll help grow your list. (VIP ONLY)

My email open rate sits comfy at 60-70%. But tbh? I couldn’t care less about that. The real metric to watch is your reply rate. Because here’s what I’ve learned after writing hundreds of reply-worthy emails since 2019: Consistency matters but it’s not the whole story.
When you know simple newsletter formats and storytelling frameworks that make your emails genuinely fun to write (and even more fun to read), you won’t just stay consistent, you’ll stay top of mind, warm up your hottest audience, and eventually make more sales without sounding like a Brad the bro-marketer. (Phew!)
But you don’t need the comedic chops of Kristen Wiig or Ali Wong to be considered “funny.” You also don’t need to write long-ass Shakespearean monologues to keep your subscribers interested.
You just need to know HOW to tell a good story. Because you *can* make someone smile, scroll, or click in five lines flat—if you know how to make those lines count.
And once your subscribers start looking forward to your emails?! Psssh, you’re already ahead of the 973 others sitting unopened in their inbox. (May they rest unread 🪦)
Brainstorm your newsletter topics and personal stories with the 50+ idea swipe file, plan your newsletters, and organize your freebies and welcome sequences in one place.
Packed with plug-n-play subject line templates, storytelling cheatsheets, writing + editing checklists, repurposing databases, writing your newsletters will be 10x easier.
Track your newsletter analytics each month so you can see what’s working in real time, set subscriber goals and track your growth as you go, and stay motivated with gamified consistency trackers.
Perfect for when your best lines happen offline 😉
There’s nothing like scribbling down your greatest ideas with your favourite pen. And now you can do it in style—because every Subbie (ahem, student) gets a one-of-a-kind planner delivered straight to their door.
I’m willing to bet you’ve heard some juicy email marketing gossip by the online business water cooler, hey? So let's shred some misconceptions...
Imagine your newsletter becoming someone’s fave weekly read. Now stop imaging and let’s make it happen!
