The S.W.I.P.E.S. Email (Friday January 5th, 2023)
Swipe📁 • Wisdom🧠 • Interesting🧐 • Picture🖼 • Essay📄 • Splurge✍
Edition: Friday, January 5th, 2024
A fun email for Friday. I hope you enjoy!
🎤 Listen to this email here:
Swipe:
The Las Vegas Sphere: "We turned our entire building into a billboard."
The Luxor: "Hold my beer!"
The Luxor Hotel (the big pyramid shaped thingy)....
....turned one of it's sides into a massive Dorito 😂
I don't know who thought of this but they deserve a raise! The amount of attention they'll get from this will likely far outweigh what they paid.
Wisdom:
Friendly reminder to everyone with a website, change your footer from:
© Website 2023
-to-
© Website 2024
This is a common problem I see with a lot of websites and it makes them look out of date.
I don't think it has a HUGE impact on sales, but anything that triggers a users "Spidey Sense" to make your website look illegitimate is not helpful.
Go check if yours is updated now!
Interesting:
Mike was selling air purifiers for $1,000. They did not sell well.
But when he upped the price to $2,000, he couldn’t keep them in stock!
What changed?
The competition was selling at a $2,000 price point, so when he matched their price, the product seemed in the same league:
Interesting thing about pricing:
No one gets mad if you lower your price...
...but everyone goes nuts if you raise your price.
...so you may as well start with a high price early on:
Picture:
After a year of making fun of the fandom over these giant Stanley mugs, I was gifted one for Christmas…and I gotta say it’s pretty awesome!
- Feels indestructible.
- It keeps stuff cold for DAYS.
- Doesn’t condensate and get things wet when I put ice in it.
I’m a convert!
Essay:
Here's the things that worked well for me in 2023:
• NEWSLETTER: Great for interacting with audience (you're reading it right now)! It helps to stay top of mind and even sell things.
• SHORT CLIPS: Great for staying top of people's social media feeds, get new audience on YouTube and Instagram. Hard to make a lot of these.
• LONG FORM PODCASTS to meet people, cut up into clips, have interesting conversations. Meh for views.
• COMMUNITY as a form of scaled training, work on tons of cool projects inside, make deeper connections with audience.
• SOCIAL MEDIA, mainly X, to meet people IRL, bounce ideas, and interact with people. Great for connecting, not great for direct sales.
• USING AI as an assistant to making content…but using it sparingly. In fact anything that's been "too much AI" has fallen flat for me.
• UNIQUENESS in content or brand. With content getting easier to make with AI, leaning into your uniqueness will become an advantage.
Splurge:
Do you have a big email list for your company but don't do a good job maintaining it?
What if myself and other professional writers....just did it for you?
Introducing:

I hope you enjoyed these Friday tid-bits!
Sincerely,
