Great emailers can sell at scale

This cartoon nails it: the person with the cape isn’t Superman—it’s an email marketer. Those little envelopes they’re sending? That’s how they move entire crowds.

Why email still reigns

• Email is a direct line to real people, not algorithms.
• It’s owned media—you control the list, not some platform.
• A good subject line = instant open and action.
• People choose to hear from you when they subscribe.

Real proof in action

• Morning Brew grew from 4 to over 4 million subscribers with daily emails.
• ConvertKit helps creators earn over $1 billion in total revenue via email.
• Ecommerce brand Chubbies says email drives 25% of total sales.
• Politicians raise millions through donation emails, not tweets.

Learn to write solid emails, and you basically get a superpower too.
