In today's issue:

Let me ask you a tough question:
When was the last time you flat-out asked your list to buy?

Not hinted.
Not “added value.”
Not buried the pitch under 700 words of tips.

I mean straight up: “Here’s the offer, click the link, buy now.”

If that makes you squirm… congratulations.
You’ve caught the most common disease in online marketing: pitch paralysis.

See, most entrepreneurs aren’t suffering from bad lists, bad offers, or bad traffic.
They’re suffering from being too damn polite.

They treat their email list like a first date.
All small talk, compliments, and nervous laughter—never daring to lean in for the kiss.

But here’s the truth:
Your audience wants to be asked.
They’re not on your list for random tips they could Google.
They’re there because deep down, they want you to show them the way—and sell them the solution.

When you dodge the pitch, you’re not “adding value.”
You’re robbing them of the transformation they signed up for in the first place.

So here’s my challenge:
Stop treating selling like an awkward confession.
Make it the natural climax of every message.

Because until you get comfortable asking, your subscribers can’t get comfortable buying.

I’ve built a business that brings in over $28,533 a day, and now I’m opening up a new way for us to profit together — without you having to build anything, start from scratch, or do it alone.

This live-only webinar is where I’ll walk you through exactly how this collaboration works… and why it might be the smartest shortcut to income you’ve ever seen.

When I started online, I was convinced there was a secret shortcut.
A hidden “hack” only the insiders knew.

So I threw myself into every free traffic trick I could find.
Fake MySpace profiles. Squidoo pages. Article directories. Blogging every single day like my life depended on it.

I even bought software to automate my “free” strategies—which is hilarious when you think about it. Spending money to get free traffic. Genius, right?

Three and a half years.
Tens of thousands of dollars.
And nothing to show for it except forum bans, weird keyword rankings, and a blog that got me fan mail but didn’t pay a single bill.

At one point, I thought the problem was me.
Maybe I just wasn’t cut out for this.
Maybe I didn’t “deserve” to play at the big boys’ table.

That belief kept me stuck in free traffic purgatory for years.

Then, finally, I broke down and bought traffic. Scary as hell. Felt like I was trespassing where I didn’t belong. But in weeks, I learned more (and saw more results) than I had in years of hustling for scraps.

Looking back, it wasn’t just wasted time. It was the mindset that cost me the most.
The belief that I wasn’t “worthy” of using paid strategies. That I had to struggle first before I was allowed to succeed.

And here’s the truth I wish I learned sooner:
You don’t need permission to play big.
You just decide…

If words are your business (and if you’re in marketing, they are), then this book is like strapping a jetpack to your writing.

Gary Provost doesn’t just teach you how to write. He teaches you how to cut the fat, sharpen the blade, and make your words slice through resistance like butter.

This isn’t some boring “English teacher” book. It’s a battle manual for anyone who wants to influence, persuade, and sell with language. Every chapter shows you how to take your clunky, overstuffed sentences and turn them into crisp little money-makers.

The cool part? Provost also teaches you how to write in a way that feels alive. Not stiff. Not academic. But human. The writing people enjoy reading—and more importantly, the kind that gets them to take action.

If you want to write emails that get opened, ads that get clicked, and sales pages that convert—this book should be within arm’s reach of your desk.

I hide behind ads, funnels, and follow-ups. 

The smaller I am, the faster you grow. 

The bigger I get, the sooner you’re broke. 

What am I?
