Remember when emails were fun?


Hey Reader,

We’re heading out today for one of my favorite yearly traditions—Family Camp! Every summer, my big ol’ family gathers for a few nights of outdoor fun, games, tents, and enough bug spray to scare off a bear. 😅 It’s loud, chaotic, and honestly a blast.

But before I zip up the tent (okay, okay—we’re in cabins this time 😅) and unplug for a bit, I wanted to pop into your inbox with something that’s been on my mind—and it’s kind of a nostalgic throwback.

Remember back in the early 2000s, when getting a friend’s new email address was a big deal? You’d sit down at the computer and type out all your summer happenings to keep in touch.

I don’t know about you, but 15 minutes would turn into pages and pages of updates, inside jokes, and every thought that crossed my mind.

These days, communication has shifted. We're stuck with quick one-word texts, cryptic Instagram captions, and even emoji-only replies.

But when I think about email in the digital marketing space… it actually brings me back to those good ol’ days. Sitting down and sharing real thoughts to actually make a connection. Only now, I care about grammar (most days 😂) and I’ve officially retired the TTYL lingo.

And it got me thinking…

Growing an email list today goes beyond simply "building a business"—it actual involves creating real connections. It’s one of the few digital tools that still lets us really talk to our people—and also, yep, make money while doing it.

Here are just a few ways your email list can start working for you:

👉 Promote something you love

Sell your own product or service—or link to affiliate offers and earn when someone clicks and buys.

👉 Send traffic to your blog or website

Each visit can earn ad income, drive sales, or build deeper trust.

👉 Get sponsorships

Once your list grows, brands will pay you to feature their content.

👉 Launch a digital product

Use your list to validate an idea, build buzz, and make sales on launch day.

Digital marketing is far from dead. In fact, with online shopping only growing, email remains one of the most profitable and personal tools out there.

So before I trade in my WiFi for bug spray, here’s your challenge:

What topic could you type pages and pages about?

What would you love to share with others—and maybe even earn from?

Hit reply and tell me all about it!

I’d love to help you brainstorm how we could build a simple, powerful, profitable email list around that interest of yours.

Talk soon (and TTYL, I guess 😉),

Some of my emails have affiliate links in them. This simply means that at no extra cost to you, I may earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase.

All of the testimonials included in my emails and on my websites are real-world examples and stories of other people’s experiences. But they are not intended to serve as a guarantee that you will achieve the same or similar results.

P.S. Email marketing is a big part of what allows me to have $10,000+ months these days. I share this course with you because it includes all the pieces of that puzzle in one place. If you’re ready to take advantage of the digital space that’s all around us, I highly recommend checking it out.

Sunstone Permanent Jewelry Discount Code TRINITY5

Hey Reader, One of the smartest things you can do when starting a permanent jewelry business is choose a brand that is already trusted within the industry. Good equipment matters, but so does the support behind it. When a company actively invests in improving machines, educating artists, and helping the industry grow, you end up benefiting from that long after your order arrives. That is one of the reasons I recommend shopping with Sunstone. They have spent years building equipment...

Hey Reader, I’ve been thinking about how you once joined my list to learn how to earn some extra money. If I’m being honest, I’ve been a little quiet lately. Not because I didn’t care or didn’t have anything to share, but because things have felt… different on the online side of business. It’s been tough in ways I didn’t expect. Between constant algorithm changes and the growing presence of AI, it started to feel harder to show up in a way that was actually helpful. At a certain point, I had...

Hey Reader, It's clear to me that so many are still searching for practical ways to earn more money. And it has nothing to do with wanting to get rich overnight, but because the math of everyday life has simply gotten harder. Groceries, housing, and raising a family costs more. Many people are doing everything right and still feel like they are constantly trying to keep up. Over the past ten years I have spent a lot of time studying how ordinary people create extra income from home. Some...
