Daniel Throssell – The Email Copywriting Compendium

“Hey, you there!”

… yes, you. The copywriter reading this page. With the ‘Eugene Schwartz Is My Homeboy’ coffee mug. Hi.

Come on, now, come a little closer. Don’t be shy. Yes, that’s the way.

Say now, friend, have you ever heard the legend of …

Daniel Throssell’s

Email Copywriting
Compendium?!?

… No?

You haven’t?

Well, you’re in for a treat … because lucky for you, that’s exactly what this page is all about!

Here is the deal (and the deal is real):

My name is Daniel Throssell.

Many well-known copywriters call me “The Copywriter in the Hathaway Shirt”.

… okay, so I just made that up.

Nobody calls me that.

Either way, it doesn’t really matter, because you probably wouldn’t be reading this page if you didn’t have at least some inkling of who I am.

The main point is this:

I’ve created what I believe is one of the quickest, most advanced & most affordable email copywriting courses in the world, called the …

Let me explain.

I say it’s one of the quickest courses you can take … because you can finish the whole thing in as little as 30 minutes.

I say affordable … because the Compendium costs a measly $101. That shouldn’t break the bank.

And I say advanced, because most of the information inside is not contained in ANY copywriting course you can find anywhere else …

… even for 10x the price I’m charging.

And the reason for that is:

The advanced copywriting secrets I am ‘giving away’ inside my Email Copywriting Compendium will show you …

My totally NEW & super FUN way to write sales emails SO GOOD … people literally send you FAN MAIL along with their money!

I’m not kidding, either.

If you are on my email list, you’ve seen this already.

But if not, let me show you.

But my new, fun way of writing sales emails doesn’t just get fan mail …
It makes sales. LOTS of sales.

Okay, so that emoji is very disgusting and bro-marketer-ish and I’m sorry

But, it’s true:

Using my new, fun way of writing sales emails …

I’ve managed to out-sell or out-promote a TON of much ‘bigger’ names in the copywriting world …

Despite having (at least, at the time) a much smaller email list than ALL of them!

Such is the power of my new, fun way of writing sales emails.

See how many of the names below you recognise …

In December 2020 I used my techniques to outsell John McIntyre, Roy Furr & Derek Johanson (only Ian Stanley beat me, and that took a list TEN TIMES the size of mine) …

… then in February 2021, I used my techniques again to out-promote Chris Orzechowski, Troy Ericson, Shiv Shetti, Chase Dimond & others …

… and again in March 2021 to out-sell Kim Krause Schwalm, Jon Buchan & Ning Li …

…and again in June 2021 to out-sell Drayton Bird, Adil Amarsi, Jacob McMillen, Jay White & many others…

…and again for Black Friday 2021 to make more sales than Matt Bockenstette, Ian Stanley (who’d beaten me the year before), Rob Marsh, Lukas Resheske, Rob Allen, and everyone else … combined.

(I think I burned a few bridges with the scale of this one. I don’t think anyone wants to play with me anymore.)

As you can see … my new, fun approach to sales emails keeps taking ‘scalps’ from giants in the copywriting world, ALL with bigger email lists than mine!

Now please don’t get me wrong … I’m being kinda tongue-in-cheek there.

I’m personal friends with many of these copywriters, and in many cases I was also trying a lot harder.

But you can’t deny … my methods for writing emails obviously work.

And the good news is:

In my Email Copywriting Compendium … I give you my ENTIRE philosophy on this ‘new, fun way’ I write every one of my own sales emails.

Yep. In the Email Copywriting Compendium …

I will show you how to ‘tap into’ a stream of unlimited email ideas …

How to turn those ideas into killer, story-based sales emails that people literally get addicted to reading …

And how to do all this practically ‘on demand’ for yourself or your clients!

Simply spending 30 minutes reading the Email Copywriting Compendium once will be enough to permanently ‘upgrade’ your email copywriting skills for life …

Though for maximum effect you’ll want to read through it over and over:

What’s more:
When you discover my new, fun way of writing emails inside the Compendium … you’ll finally be able to STOP worrying about annoying copywriting problems like:

• Running out of email ideas
• Spending hours writing every email
• Wondering what to write about, or how to write it
• Stressing about subject lines being “80% of your ad spend” because David Ogilvy said so (much respect to the man, but he died in 1999 at age 88, I doubt he ever even read an email)
• Not knowing what the ‘hook’ of your email should be
• Balancing “talking about yourself” with “talking about your reader”
• People getting mad at you for “selling” to them
• Having to “write like you’d write to a friend”
• Balancing ‘sales’ emails with ‘value’ emails

Basically, once you read the Compendium …

You’ll be able to forget most of what everyone else said you were ‘supposed’ to do when you write sales emails … and you’ll have a lot more fun, too!

But wait … what exactly *is* the Email Copywriting Compendium?”

… oh, right.

Yeah, that is probably a question I should answer on this sales page

To be precise, the Email Copywriting Compendium is not like any other copywriting ‘course’ you’ve taken.

The entire course is delivered inside one chunky pdf which you can print out and read over coffee.

There are no ‘video modules’. There are no ‘exercises’. There are no ‘worksheets’. There is no ‘Facebook community’.

Heck, there isn’t even really a defined order to go through it.

Instead, what you’ll find in the Compendium is a collection of 101 highly effective ‘rules’ for writing emails.

I actually originally wrote it with the following question in mind:

“If I could send ONE letter to my past self, condensing everything I know NOW about email copywriting … and it had to bring me as close as possible to my current skill level, as quickly as possible … what would I say?”

The answer was … the Email Copywriting Compendium.

Hence, the ‘quick-access’ format of 101 ‘rules’.

“I was skeptical at it being a pdf download, but you were 100% right — it’s no fluff, all content”

There’s no complex fluff … no pointless stories … no ‘intro’ videos … or anything.

Every single rule is written to ‘get in … deliver the lesson … and get out’.

You don’t have to follow it in order. You can start wherever you like. You can read them a few at a time, or all at once. It’s extremely easy to read.

Here’s a selection of the 101 rules you will find inside the Compendium:

• The most important word in copywriting (and it’s not “you”, or “free”, or “entertainment”, or “consistency”, or anything trite — I promise it actually will enlighten you) (Rule #1)
• A list I made — for my own personal use — of the 10 elements of must-read email lists (Rule #2)
• One question to ask before EVERY email you send (Rule #3)

• The ideal email length — and yes, I give a word count (Rule #9)
• The THREE hurdles to getting your email read (getting it opened is just the first one — but I’ve never heard anyone teach the other two!) AND how to overcome them (Rules #12, #13 and #14)
• Why telling your sales message in an email is a BAD idea in 2022 (Rule #15)
• A specific numerical rule for how often to sell in your emails, and how hard to do it (Rules #17 and #18)
• The 8 words Australia’s bestselling author taught me about writing emails people want to stay subscribed to for years (Rule #20)
• Why “being your true self” is BAD advice for emails (Rule #22)
  
• A creepy trick for psychologically abusing your readers into revering you — admittedly, I’m not sure if this will work for anyone other than me, but if you’re on my list you’ve definitely seen ME do this to you, and it’s why you are reading this sales page now … (Rule #24)
• The most incredible technique in the history of storytelling — I use it almost every day (Rule #25)
  
• Why it’s okay to make up “untrue” stories for your emails, and how to do it (Rule #26)
• How to pull story ideas from your day-to-day life (hint: you’re looking in the wrong place!) (Rule #27)
  
• Ever felt like your sales email ‘feels’ wrong … but can’t figure out why? I almost guarantee it’s because your email’s lead is missing one of the three things in Rule #28…

• What to do if you’re writing for a client and can’t get personal stories out of them (Rule #29), and …

Why email stories should NOT be about “telling what happened”! (Rule #30)

Let’s take a Gary Halbert-style break here to riff on this one.

Rule #30 in my Compendium is called:

“The Sitcom Secret Behind Telling Great Stories In Emails”

And … it’s one of the most important rules in my email philosophy.

See, there is a CRITICAL element of email storytelling that you must have if you want to build a relationship long-term with your audience.

The devious thing is, even though you need this thing for email storytelling … it actually IS possible to just tell a good story without it. So most people don’t even realise they’re not doing it.

What’s more, I guarantee nobody has ever taught this to you before. Because it’s something I learned from my own observation, and not from any book or course. And it sure as heck isn’t obvious in any way.

Thankfully, though, it’s not actually that hard to learn or use.

And in Rule #30, I tell you everything you need to know about it.

Here are more of the mind-bending copywriting insights you’ll find inside the Compendium …

• How to balance telling ‘me-focused’ stories with ‘you, you, you’ writing about the reader — I have a solution for this that I have NEVER seen taught anywhere else (Rule #31)
• If you write emails for a client, I’ll give you a model for mentally “picturing” the EXACT topics to write about, and what to say (Rule #32)
  
• Why you should write your emails backwards — literally! (Rule #33)
• Why “write like you’re writing to a friend” is NOT the best advice for emails — and what (not who!) I actually imagine writing for instead of a “friend” (Hint: It’s NOT human. Rule #34)
  
• Why you should NEVER use questions in a sales email — like “Do you struggle with nagging belly fat?” — and what you should do instead (this rule will change your ENTIRE copywriting paradigm) (Rule #35)
• Ever read other (even famous) copywriters’ emails and felt like the stories they used for “StOrYseLLinG” were … well … kinda boring? I’ll show you why you felt that way — and how to pick stories that ACTUALLY sell (Rule #36)
  

• 4 ways to never run out of email ideas again — this alone could make the entire purchase worth it for you, if you need to write a lot of emails for clients (Rules #37-#40)
• My favourite way to use stories you find during your market research in your emails (Rule #41)
• The single most persuasive email tactic in the world (hint: it is a ‘genre’ more than a ‘tactic’) (Rule #43)
• Why you must NEVER write an email while sad! (Rule #47)

• The single best way to whip up a frenzy of attention and engagement in your emails. (This technique is “free” in a monetary sense, but be warned that it WILL cost you some of your best subscribers — you’ll have to decide if it’s worth using) (Rule #48)
  
• Why you should ignore David Ogilvy’s advice for subject lines (Rule #55)
• My unique “question-setup” approach to writing subject lines — and why it’s better than the typical “curiosity gap” theory most people teach (Rules #56 and #57)

• Whether you should use long vs. short subject lines (Rule #58)
• Two “quick-fix” ways to urgently punch up a bad subject line if you’re under the pump (Rule #59)
  
• A sneaky (and quick) way to use somebody else’s mailing list to test your subject line’s open rates … BEFORE you send your email! (I discovered how to do this one day almost by accident, and I’ve used it constantly ever since — if you do this the way I teach you, I’m pretty sure that legally you don’t even need to ask “permission”) (Rule #61)
• When to use someone’s name in a subject line — and when not to (Rule #62)
  
• Why technically “good” subject lines can make even your best subscribers angry — and how to avoid this (Rule #64)
• Why studying emails from certain top email copywriters is risky at best, and downright stupid at worst (Rule #67)
  
• The ideal length of a welcome series, and no, it is not zero or one (Rule #69)
• Why you should never ASK people to whitelist your emails, but TRICK them into doing it instead (and how to do it) (Rule #70)
  
• How to stop people getting angry when you sell to them (Rule #71) … and, building on this …

A very “politically incorrect” strategy for making even your most hostile enemies accept your ideologies without blinking! (Rule #72)

Let’s break again to dig into this one a little more.

The name of Rule #72 is actually:

“_____ Is A Great Disguise For Hard Sales Tactics”

I can’t tell you the words from the start of the sentence as it would give away the rule. (Sorry, sales page and all.)

But, this is one of the most POWERFUL techniques I have ever discovered for selling full-throttle to my email list … in fact, much harder than almost anyone else I have ever seen … and yet having them LOVE me for it.

In other words, using this technique can almost completely insulate you against looking “salesy” in your emails, no matter how hard you actually sell.

But … this technique is actually much MORE than just a sales technique.

In fact, it’s incredibly powerful as a general persuasion technique … and it’s even being deployed in full force on both sides of the culture wars we face in the West today. It’s used both by the proponents of “woke” culture, AND by some who call it out.

Either way, whether you choose to use it for more nefarious purposes or not, you can certainly use it in your sales emails.

And it’ll change people from getting mad at your constant selling … to loving you for it.

Here are even MORE of the incredible copywriting secrets you will find inside the Compendium, should you choose to buy it …

• Why you should NOT segment out buyers from getting emails for things they’ve already bought! (Rule #73)
• How to sell luxury goods … wine … and even ART using emails (Rules #74, #75 and #76)
  
• Should you assume people have read your previous emails? (Rule #77)
• How often to email your list (Rule #78)
  
• The maximum time it should take you to write an email — if it takes you longer, here’s what to do (and no, it’s not “use a timer”) (Rule #79)
• Why you should almost never use bullets in a sales email (Rule #85)
• How to write a better ‘cart abandonment’ sequence (Rule #86)

• The ideal length of an email sale — yes, I give an exact number of days (Rule #87)
  
• Why you should deliberately NOT send your best sales pitches during an email sale (Rule #89)
• Two emails (which you’re probably including in every sales funnel you write) that are a terrible idea (Rules #94 and #97)
  
• How long before the cart closes to send your final email reminder about a sale (Rule #98)
• A simple 14-word mantra so powerful, you can potentially overwrite a lifetime’s worth of “inner conditioning” against writing sales emails … by saying it just ONCE! Relax though, it’s not nearly as woo-woo as it sounds. (You’ll find it in the last line of Rule #100)

• The single most important thing to keep in mind when you make a mistake, like blasting an email with the wrong name to hundreds of thousands of people (Rule #101)

But before you buy, there are THREE major downsides you must understand:

(PLEASE DO NOT BUY WITHOUT READING THIS PART)

1. This is NOT a “paint-by-numbers” course that shows you how to do everything (or anything) step-by-step.

By that I mean:

The Compendium does not contain any “swipes”, “templates”, “formulas”, or “step-by-step instructions” for writing emails.

This is a set of tried-and-tested rules that — if you follow them — can help you write arguably the most entertaining, engaging, and profitable emails in your (or your client’s) industry or niche.

But it’s not going to take you by the hand and say “first write these words, then write these words”.

It’s also not a “beginner” course on copywriting. Don’t get me wrong, beginners SHOULD know this stuff. But it doesn’t waste any time on copywriting basics (“talk about your reader’s needs more than yourself” etc.) which you can find on plenty of good websites for free.

So if you are not already on a few copywriting email lists, or at least kind of familiar with the general idea of how sales emails work, it might not be for you yet.

(Note: if you are on *my* email list, and regularly read my emails, you can disregard this last line — since the Compendium is so closely aligned with the way I do emails, they will give you an excellent ‘case study’ that will illustrate all the principles in ‘real-time’.)

2. The Compendium comes as a pdf file, delivered exclusively via my ‘Persuasive Page’ Learnistic mobile/iPad app, and you will need a smartphone to access it (though you can send it to your computer from there).

After you order, you will be directed to install the Learnistic app (if you don’t have it already) on your smartphone or iPad.

Setup is extremely easy — under a minute in most cases — although you’ll need a phone handy to receive a code via SMS.

(In very rare cases — Nigeria is the only one I know of for now — users will need to use an app like FreeTone to get a US number to sign up for the app.)

If you want to print the pdf, you can then share it from your phone/iPad to your computer. But you will NOT get a direct link to a pdf download for your computer.

If this bothers you, please do not buy the Email Copywriting Compendium.

Either way, please don’t bother emailing me telling me about why I “won’t be making a sale from you” for this rule. To be frank, I already don’t make sales from 99.99% of the world’s population. Join the line.

Besides, I have my reasons for delivering it this way, just like you presumably have your reasons for … well … not using a smartphone in 2022.

3. There are no change-of-mind refunds on this product.

So please make sure you have read and understand this sales letter — especially the previous two points.

If you have any doubts whatsoever, I recommend you don’t buy now, and follow along with my emails until you’ve seen for yourself that I know what I’m talking about when it comes to email copywriting.

Otherwise, you can grab your copy of the Email Copywriting Compendium using the button below.

As mentioned at the top of this sales letter (yes, it’s so well-priced I didn’t need to do the “price anchoring” thing), the Compendium is just $101.
