This 6 email sequence is sent to _only_ our enrollment waiting list (approx 18% of our total list). It converts between 1.6-3% list-to-sale, on a 4 figure purchase.
Only better was this past January, which tends to be out best launch of the year anyway (new year momentum, etc).
It was a TON of work, but also the only way we could have learned critical lessons in how to teach effectively.
- better lessons/exercises, more student successes
- a more accessible format
- less demanding on our time/energy
Launches were never TERRIBLE but they were no longer predictable.
Not that I couldn't write, but it was gonna be weird for me to just jump in. Like the track on the album where they let the drummer sing. 😂
I started assembling emails around themes that mirrored our readers's biggest pains. Lots of editing, combining, and remixing.
I realized my role could be the producer, to Amy's role as the recording artist.
That launch blew our previous sales records out of the water, growing sales by over 40% more than our best (for this format and at this price point).
I did this again 2 more times last year.
Each time, I tried to make ONE thing in the sequence better. If it made a noticeable difference, I applied that thing to all of the launches. If not, analyzed why and tried again.
And now that Amy is feeling better, she can create NEW stuff too, for the first time in a couple of years.
This makes the "producer" in me very happy.
STS is for people who HAVE products, MAKE sales, SEND newsletters, but (like us) do everything on the fly and get burned out.
