Liz Wilcox said I could


A few weeks ago, I was at Kit's Craft + Commerce conference and ended up seated next to the delightful Liz Wilcox at dinner.

In case you don’t know Liz: she’s the Fresh Princess of Email, she’s built a multiple-six-figure business from a $9/month membership (goals fr), and she was on Survivor (yes, really!).

At some point during dinner, she turned to me and said she was, I quote, “sick of people kissing up to her.” And that if I wanted the visibility, I could do a teardown of her famous membership sales page. No filter or kissing up required.

So I took her up on it. (I mean, who am I to say no to the Fresh Princess of Email??)

What’s interesting about Liz’s sales page is that it’s already pretty dang strong. (I mean, how many of you reading this here have already been sold into her membership from it?)

Which means I had to dig quite a bit deeper than the surface-level “common copy mistakes” feedback.

Here’s what I got into:

  • The biggest strategic gap I found on her page
  • Why I called out a phrase that I also have on my website (yes, Liz, we can do better!)
  • Where the page loses a little momentum right when it should be closing in
  • What “sounds like a human being” actually looks like on a sales page (rarer than it should be in 2026)
  • What Liz’s origin story is doing that most bios completely miss (hint: it starts with Mountain Dew and a dream)

And if you’d like this kind of “no kissing up allowed” feedback on your copy…

​Then the Quarterly Copy Pass is for you! Closing for the quarter at the end of the week(end).

Didn’t grab a Quarterly Copy Pass a few weeks back? I’d love to know why. Take the 3-minute survey here (one respondent will win a free in-depth copy review + my eternal gratitude). Psst! I totally said this survey was closing Monday. But then I totally forgot to send a reminder. So, one more day it is! Alright, folks. The Quarterly Copy Pass closes tomorrow. If you opened this email up, my guess is that you’re still on the fence. And totally fair! (I’m a chronic overthinker myself, so I...

Oh hey Reader. A little birdie (AKA my tagging system in Kit) told me that you *haven’t* grabbed a Quarterly Copy Pass yet. Since it’s closing in 2 days (or when passes sell out, and about half are already gone), I figured I’d pop into your inbox with the questions my passholders asked most before they took the plunge. Because hey, I want YOU to feel as good about your decision to join as I’ll be to have you in. And if you’ve been thinking about it, chances are at least one or two of these...
