can you live on 1 email a day? 😮💨

Hey Champ,

The 1 email a day lifestyle is a thing.

I wouldn’t believe you even if you tried explaining this to me a few years ago.

But the gooroos out there make it seem so easy.

What they don’t tell you is:

- How long it takes to build an email list
- How to actually build a list
- The way to segment the list
- How to turn customers to clients
- How to have client retention
- When to sell products vs high ticket services
- How to top up your list without paid ads
Yet we look up to all these people who simply say “build your list.”

And feel nothing but shame or negative comparison because we’re not there yet.

I recorded a video (https://youtu.be/WhaARDR9ivE?si=m_TAAgB7KOZHGXkZ) the other day with some honest thoughts.

The good news? You don’t need a crazy big list to get clients.

My agency list is 400 people. And that’s a 6 figure list.

This Maker Letter list, is just over 3,000 and it’s also a 6 figure list.

What matters is WHO is reading. And HOW you sell your products and services.

That’s why I got off sales calls since 2023, and do things with a tiny email list.

In fact, you only need a handful of clients to earn a good living.

Which is why at Modern Maker, I encourage a lot of my students to shift to email.

There’s 5-6 new modules with everything that’s worked for me.

Where students with less than 300 subscribers have made multiple 4&5 figures on a weekly basis.

And the doors to Modern Maker will be opening up to 4 people this June, in a few days.

If you want to skip the queue and get first dibs before the launch, hit reply with “ skip ” and I’ll send over the details.

(Last time the spots got filled in a few days)

Power to you,
