Edition: Friday, September 22nd, 2023
A fun email for Friday. I hope you enjoy!

 

🎤 Listen to this email here:

 

#1.) Swipe:

37Signals posted this awesome copy on once.com (awesome domain name), and it explains how they’re charging only ONCE for their software and not the standard subscription-style that’s become so common:

I love the honest and simple way they wrote this!

#2.) Wisdom:

This one might sting a little for some (including me)....but this chart shows the college majors people most regret getting, usually due to a lack of opportunity the major gets vs the amount of effort/cost to acquire it. 

Do you regret any of these??

#3.) Interesting:

“How do I make money?”  This graph has answers! 

Just glancing at it you’ll discover a ton of different services you probably didn’t even know about for making some side money:

The eye tracking chart:

#4.) Picture:

1 year ago to this day: 
"Let's go paint balling and dress up like we came from the office." 

....only one person did 😂

#5.) Essay:

Nothing can get more complex than explaining economic ideas, but having a slick image can do it in 1 second. Here’s some examples:

This graph shows allllll the different excuses to sell over the last 15 years.

It explains a simple-yet-complex concept to hold very long term, and ignore short term fluctuations. This is what Warren Buffett has been preaching for 50+ years!

Here’s a graph explaining inflation, and how “$1” is worth far less over time.

This one is super cool, instantly showcasing the concept that it took Google a whole slew of successful products to get where they are today:

This graph shows that “timing the marketing” can be very profitable…or a total loss 😳

This graph gives a range of income to be considered “Middle” Class” in different areas:

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.

Definitely A, Copywriting. 

Your emails deliver “aha” and “that’s brilliant” outbursts all the time. 

Thank you and enjoy the weekend.

Hey Anthony, that's right....I just wanted to help (and also get a case study out of it)!

No payment was made by them, and I paid for all the materials.

What I have learned from you, Mr Medhora, in the short time I have been subbed to SWIPE is the importance of opening my eyes and approaching my gaze with a hungry curiosity. 

I feel that the development of that with the other things you teach is the real winner. 

I was curious.  The shoe hospital, you helped them for shits and giggles, just to see if you could?

This is in reply to your question on what I learned most from you. It's definitely copywriting! This Swipes email has also inspired me to change up my weekly newsletter as well and I kind of copied your format by using an acronym. It has made creating the newsletter so much easier, way more fun plus I have received a lot more feedback that my readers are enjoying it! 

Thanks a bunch for the inspirations and helpful tips and advice!

That's so great to hear Cheryl, and glad the SWIPES inspired your newsletter naming as well it's a great format!

I really enjoy your Friday emails. Even though I’ve transitioned out of Marketing and into IT (a mid-life career swap, lol) I still find these useful because they inspire me to be more competent in life in general, when at first I subscribed to be better a copywriting.

Anyway, I saw the graphic about the most regretted degrees, and I have a B.S. in Sociology and Communication…so this made me laugh. 😊 Though when I was 19, I didn’t know what I wanted to do so that probably was not helpful when choosing a major, lol.

Bahahahhaa sociology **sounds** cool, but I still have no idea what it really means or how it gets people a job 😂
