This incredibly clear (and mercifully concise) Video Micro-Course breaks down one of the most important concept in all of marketing: the "Big Idea".
It's how Purple became one of the biggest mattress companies in the world. It's how Gary Bencivenga—arguably the greatest copywriter in the world—sold Christmas hams. It's what the largest newsletter publisher on the internet depends on to run a multibillion dollar empire. Most marketers have heard of it, but you've never heard it explained and presented like this before. And once you do, you'll never look at copy the same way.

The Podcast

Inside: Nearly 2 hours 3 of audio interviews with legendary copywriters, Ben Settle, Dave Harland, and Drayton Bird

The Lost Letters:
Why Great Controls Perform
— — —
Inside: Analysis of 7 mega-successful sales letters you've probably never read
From the very beginning of my copywriting career, I've been reading, studying, and copyworking (transcribing by hand) successful sales letters. It's probably the most effective way to internalize persuasive principles and techniques, which is why I recommend it to every copywriter I mentor, whatever their experience may be.
The Lost Letters is a series I created (but never shared publicly) that highlights seven magnificent controls even serious students of copywriting would fail to recognize. These sales letters, though largely unsung, were unbelievably effective, running unbeaten for years, even decades—and inside, I break down exactly what made them work.

Before you can do any research, much less write a word of copy, you must understand how markets actually work: why people buy things, why they don’t, and what has to be in place first for your email campaign to have a real chance of succeeding.
Inside ↴
- The not-so-subtle “twist” you can put on your email copy to make your landing page far more compelling, engaging, and effective.
- The two-part click trigger most copywriters only half use. (You already know part one. Part two is why some clicks turn into buyers while others bounce.)
- Forget features and benefits. This is actually the most captivating and compelling thing about your product. (Use it to make even highly skeptical buyers believe your claims.)
- How to make your product or service feel undeniably singular in the market (even if it’s quite typical).
- Your most powerful selling point may be something every competitor also has or does: how to honestly and ethically “claim” it first, making it your own.

Inside, I break down "Desire Drilling": my research process for developing an intimate, almost clinical understanding of any market.
It combines human research with AI to produce something incredibly valuable to copywriters, marketers, and salespeople: a clear, specific picture of your market's most significant desires...not just what they are, but the emotions and beliefs underneath them (the things prospects feel deeply, but rarely say out loud).
And because the Transformational Sales Emails system is engineered like a lock and key—the Research module and the Writing module are designed to fit together perfectly—you'll take this data directly into Module 3 and immediately start using it to write your emails.

Something unexpected is happening:
The rise of “slopaganda” is driving an almost unprecedented demand for great copywriting:
Marketing departments everywhere are learning this lesson the hard way because while AI can instantly generate coherent copy, it can only produce, at best, relentlessly, unquestionably average copy. Dead center, middle-of-the-road stuff.
The industry has created a name for it:
slopaganda
slo·pa·gan·da
noun
The flood of hastily generated, AI-produced messaging designed to persuade, but too average to move anyone.
"My inbox is wall-to-wall slopaganda!"
These days, if you have good, accurate research—and that's a big if—anybody can slop up a generic email in seconds.
But will it get read?
Much less arrest the reader?
Much less make the reader feel something:
Emotion—a feeling—precedes action.
Emotion, more than anything else, drives response.
That's why I created this training:
Inside...
I break down the unique style and approach that makes my VeryGoodCopy micro-lessons so moving:
And then...
I show you how to use VGC's emotional style to write sales emails.
Across (at least) 56 remarkably cohesive video micro-lessons, I've systemitized how to emulate VeryGoodCopy's famous writing style to:
- write emails your prospects actually enjoy reading—and you actually enjoy writing...
- tell vivid, engrossing stories your prospects will immediately visualize and relate to...
- sound like yourself—human and distinctive—and not robotic or templated...
- change your prospect's mood before they click, so they arrive at the next step of your sale process with a degree of emotional momentum, primed to take action...
The TSE system I lay out is exactly how I write sales copy for my own clients, including:
So...
Will this training work for your industry?
As long as you can sell via email, the answer is yes.
The research and writing approach inside Transformational Sales Emails will show you how to meet any buyer precisely where they are, so they feel seen, understood, and incredibly motivated to take action.
For example:
It’s November, 2025:
I’m about to deliver my all-time highest-paying client project, an email campaign. I’m in my home office, presenting the work via Zoom. The client’s team, about half a dozen people, have gathered together in a conference room to listen to me.
“Hey folks,” I say. Everyone says hello back. “Let’s get started.”
I share my screen.
“First I’m gonna read the emails,” I say, “then I’ll show my work, like math class.” I smile and the room chuckles politely.
The marketing director, the person who hired me, is sitting at the head of the conference table. She closes her laptop and leans forward. She keeps her hand in a fist under her chin as I read the first email in the sequence.
I read the subject line, the preview text, and the body copy as the group follows along on my screen. I read for about 90 seconds before the words run out and the email ends.
I look up. Nobody speaks. I’m about to break the silence when the director leans forward.
“Eddie—” she says. “Eddie—”
She puts her forearms on the table and looks around the room.
“Yes?” I say.
“Eddie, how did you do that?”
“How did I do it?”
“How did you write like that about us?” she says. “About our product of all things.”
I nod and switch tabs. “I’ll show you exactly.”
Fact is...
I can write this way about anything, including whatever you are selling. As long as you have a good product for a specific market, I can write like “that” about it...
And so can you.
Let me show you exactly, too, inside:
