​ You’re going to laugh when you hear what I did at the premiere of the first Austin Powers movie. I was working for a company that managed celebrity websites… For kid celebrities like Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Jessica Biel, and even some dog that was on a sitcom. My job was to create content for the fans of those kid celebrities – it was kind of like being a reporter for Entertainment Weekly For Kids. I was sent to cover the Austin Powers movie premiere and given a press pass to interview celebrities on the red carpet. But because the outlet I worked for wasn’t exactly the most important media outlet in the world, they stuck me in with the photographers instead of the reporters. I stood amidst a bunch of professional photographers with own small digital camera taking pictures and interviewing the kid celebrities who agreed to talk to me. Even worse, I was assigned an angle to report on: Makeup tips. That’s right, 25-year-old me asking “famous” 12-year-old girls for their best makeup tips. Quite a way to spend an afternoon. The reason I’m sharing this with you is because of what happened in the following years. By the time the Austin Powers sequel premiered, I had made my way to The Hollywood Reporter where I was covering the movie business as a “real” journalist. That landed me an invite to the premiere itself – the red carpet, movie, and party. A few years later when the third Austin Powers movie premiered I was working in marketing for the studio that produced it. I was no longer covering the movie premiere – I was now hosting it (sort of) and had access to go wherever I wanted. In retrospect, the Austin Powers movie premieres reflected my career progress. I went from outsider, to invited guest, to insider in the span of a few years. There’s a lesson here. No matter where you’re at in your own journey, you’ll be surprised where you can wind up if you stick with it. Especially if you keep moving forward and don’t settle. My progression had as much to do with my willingness to jump to new jobs and opportunities as it did my refusal to give up. Where you are today is just where you are today – it’s not where you’ll be tomorrow. A fun coda to this story: Several years after the last Austin Powers premiere I was running digital marketing for The Oscars and wound up working directly with Mike Myers to produce a video for the show. In a way, it was a continuation of my Austin Powers journey – from outsider, to guest, to insider, to CREATOR.

​ In 1971, The Grateful Dead packaged the note you see below with their latest album: ​ In a world without internet, there was a lot of friction for people to get on the list – they had to write a letter, get a stamp, put it in the mail, etc. A lot harder than typing an email address in a form. And yet… Hundreds of thousands of people did. It gave the band a direct connection to its fans and played a huge role in their ability to build a rabid fanbase. Of course, they also regularly sent printed newsletters to fans too – they didn’t just collect names and do nothing with them like so many people do with the email lists they build these days. A couple takeaways here: 1. A newsletter was the best connection you could have to your audience even before it was digital. 2. The Dead didn’t feel uncomfortable asking fans to write letters, so why do you feel uncomfortable asking for an email address?

How The Grateful Dead grew their mailing list

​ Before you get on a free discovery call with a potential client, have them answer three questions by email: 1. Tell me about your situation/problem and the problem you’re looking to solve. 2. What have you tried to solve it so far? 3. Do you have any specific questions about how I work with clients you’d like me to answer? Having potential clients send you answers to these questions BEFORE you schedule a discovery call with them does a bunch of good things: • Allows you to keep the call short because you already know the situation and problem before getting on the call • Allows you to prep for the call and give them one specific piece of relevant advice on the call which proves your value and makes them want more • Helps you understand what may hold them back from hiring you so you can address that obstacle on the call • Saves you from spending time on free calls with people who don’t even care enough to answer the questions and probably never would have hired you • Helps you identify if a person is a bad fit before you waste time on a free call with them ​ Today's email is brought to you by a newsletter that 50k subscribers get book recommendations from ( https://a2b30467.click.convertkit-mail4.com/o8uwkpxkxvbqh6de95nfvhqez420mboh4m6rr/7qh7h8h95zm3lqcz/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbGV4YW5kYm9va3MuYmVlaGlpdi5jb20vc3Vic2NyaWJlP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9Sm9zaFNwZWN0b3JOZXdzbGV0dGVy ). ​ This breakdown of how a writer learned to write ( https://a2b30467.click.convertkit-mail4.com/o8uwkpxkxvbqh6de95nfvhqez420mboh4m6rr/owhkhqhwdo7599uv/aHR0cHM6Ly9raWVyYW5jdXR0aW5nLnN1YnN0YWNrLmNvbS9wL2hvdy1pLWxlYXJuZWQtdG8tanVzdC1mdWNraW5nLXdyaXRlP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9Sm9zaFNwZWN0b3JOZXdzbGV0dGVy ) is a great read and will help you get out of your own way.

An email to send before you get on a free call with a potential client

josh@joshspector.com4/28/2026
​ You’re scared of promoting too often in your emails because you want your emails to be "valuable." I get it. I think EVERY email you send should provide value to your readers. But… Why do you assume your promotional emails are NOT valuable? That's a false assumption. Two things to keep in mind: First, you don’t have to ONLY promote your offer in the email. You can – and should – include free value in a promotional email. For example, when you promote a product include an excerpt to boost the value of the email. The best way to sell a product is with a sample of the product. Second, if you do send an email that’s purely promotional… Isn’t that ALSO valuable? Your product (hopefully) provides a ton of value to the people who buy it. Telling your subscribers about it IS providing them value. If you think your promotional emails aren’t “valuable,” you’re likely just insecure about your product’s value. And if your product isn’t actually valuable… You’ve got a bigger problem. Long story short: Stop categorizing your emails as valuable or promotional. Self-promotion isn’t a selfish act – it’s a selfless one. You owe it to the people you serve to let them know you can help them.

​ I bet you already have content that should get you clients. It just isn’t. Maybe you’ve published it and it’s underperforming. Maybe you’re about to publish it and aren't sure it’s strong enough. Maybe it's... • An email you send to people who inquire about your services • A sales page • Your email signup page • Your welcome sequence • A LinkedIn post This is the kind of content I can help you improve. Not by creating more. But by making what you’ve already written clearer, stronger, and more effective. It's a simple process: You send me what you’ve written → I send back a stronger version.

How one fill-in-the-blank sentence will make all your content more valuable

josh@joshspector.com4/9/2026
​ I recently rewrote an email for a client who was inviting people to join a workshop. There were two simple changes I made that made it much more likely to work. First, I made the invitation feel more personal. I changed the subject line from: “Invitation: [Workshop Name]” To: “You’re invited to an exclusive [Workshop Name]” And positioned it as an “opportunity” instead of just a workshop. Second, I flipped the order of the email. The original led with who it was for… and buried what they’d actually get. So I rewrote it to lead with value: “In 60 minutes you’ll get:” Then listed three clear outcomes. This is the kind of thing most people never notice in their own writing. Small changes. Big difference. If you want help, send me something you’ve written and I’ll let you know if I can help. ​ You can promote whatever you want to my 30,000 subscribers with ads in two issues of my newsletter for just $350.

Is your email welcome sequence punishing your subscribers?

​ You don’t need better content. You need a better version of what you’ve already created. I see this all the time: You post consistently. Share useful ideas. Have something worth buying. But... Still don't get much business from your content. Which is frustrating because it feels like it should be working. Usually, your ideas aren't the issue. It’s how they're written. Your message isn’t clear enough. The value isn’t obvious enough. There’s nothing guiding someone to take the next step. So your content gets attention… But not clients. That’s the gap. And it’s almost always fixable. If your content isn’t converting, I’ll rewrite it so it does. ​ Today's email is brought to you by the email marketing tool I use ( https://a2b30467.click.convertkit-mail4.com/zluog39g9eanhkx7m55hphwg9686nf6h3nlxx/m2h7h5h356q7zebm/aHR0cHM6Ly9wYXJ0bmVycy5raXQuY29tLzU2c255OXEyN3VhcQ== ) and recommend. ​ Want to know the best time to post on LinkedIn or how often you should post? ​Read this ( https://a2b30467.click.convertkit-mail4.com/zluog39g9eanhkx7m55hphwg9686nf6h3nlxx/e0hph7h7v3l2omt8/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGlua2VkaW4uY29tL3B1bHNlLzUyLXJpZ2h0LXRpbWUtcG9zdC1pc250LXdoYXQteW91LXRoaW5rLXJpY2hhcmQtdmFuLWRlci1ibG9tLXUwa2NlLw== ). ​ SEE YOU TOMORROW! 600 1st Ave, Ste 330 PMB 92768, Seattle, WA 98104-2246 ​Unsubscribe ( https://a2b30467.unsubscribe.convertkit-mail4.com/zluog39g9eanhkx7m55hphwg9686nf6h3nlxx ) · Preferences ( https://preferences.convertkit-mail4.com/zluog39g9eanhkx7m55hphwg9686nf6h3nlxx )​

​ I was driving with my wife and 3-year-old daughter. My wife said something and I replied, "You’ve got a lot going on." My daughter: "I’ve got a lot going on too." Me: "You’ve got a lot going on?" My daughter: "Yeah, I’m a serious businesser." She sure is. Now, on to this week's ideas... ​ ***************** The Starting Five ***************** 1.

​ Is your sales page leaving money on the table? The Sales Page Creator ( https://a2b30467.click.convertkit-mail4.com/mvue7vz7z8c5hq5pgoqsmhr2gzr4vh3he4qww/kkhmh6hnwlll0qfl/aHR0cHM6Ly9qb3Noc3BlY3Rvci5jb20vc2FsZXNwYWdlY3JlYXRvci8= ) shows you how to fix that. It gives you a simple, proven way to create a sales page that converts, delivered in one 52-minute video. Use it to improve your existing page or create a new one from scratch. It was previously only available to my paid members, but today I'm making it available for individual purchase. To celebrate its launch, I’ve got a special offer for you: Get it for just $29 if you buy in the next 24 hours. (The price goes up to $49 tomorrow.) ​Learn more and get it here ( https://a2b30467.click.convertkit-mail4.com/mvue7vz7z8c5hq5pgoqsmhr2gzr4vh3he4qww/kkhmh6hnwlll0qfl/aHR0cHM6Ly9qb3Noc3BlY3Rvci5jb20vc2FsZXNwYWdlY3JlYXRvci8= ). Let me know if you have any questions - thanks! PS - Here's what nonprofit and associations consultant Linda Howard said about it: "I often HATE sales pages because I have to scroll and scroll to find the info I want and I just keep seeing the same things repeated over and over in different words, which really frustrates me. But this training and Josh’s sales pages are simple, clear and compelling. And easy!" ​ SEE YOU TOMORROW! 600 1st Ave, Ste 330 PMB 92768, Seattle, WA 98104-2246 ​Unsubscribe ( https://a2b30467.unsubscribe.convertkit-mail4.com/mvue7vz7z8c5hq5pgoqsmhr2gzr4vh3he4qww ) · Preferences ( https://preferences.convertkit-mail4.com/mvue7vz7z8c5hq5pgoqsmhr2gzr4vh3he4qww )​

24-Hour Offer: The Sales Page Creator

​ All the tactics in the world won't help you get what you want from your content until you grasp these 11 concepts ( https://a2b30467.click.convertkit-mail4.com/r8u9845850ioh3dz792u2hdn55w4ds7h4g2ww/wnh2hghq7r85o9h7/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGlua2VkaW4uY29tL3Bvc3RzL3RoYXRqb3Noc3BlY3Rvcl95b3VyZS1ub3QtYS10YWN0aWMtYXdheS1mcm9tLWdldHRpbmctd2hhdC1hY3Rpdml0eS03NDQwNDIzODIxNDY1MjUxODQwLTk2R08_cmNtPUFDb0FBQUdHaDhFQnI4TFllNVc2MVpuOGJoMkRYZ0tsNTd6RGdWMCZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPW1lbWJlcl9kZXNrdG9wJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9c2hhcmU= ). ​ Today's email is brought to you by a newsletter that helps designers grow their career ( https://a2b30467.click.convertkit-mail4.com/r8u9845850ioh3dz792u2hdn55w4ds7h4g2ww/vqh3hrho0n8xk3ag/aHR0cHM6Ly9wdG9tYXN6ZXdza2kuY29tL25ld3NsZXR0ZXIvP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9Sm9zaFNwZWN0b3JOZXdzbGV0dGVy ). ​ No one cares how much effort it took you to do something. Whether something is worth paying for or not has NOTHING to do with the time and effort put into it by the creator. Buying decisions are made based on the perceived value to the buyer. “Costs” to a creator are meaningless to buyers. I can spend 5 minutes creating something more valuable than what someone else may spend 5 months creating and buyers will buy the more valuable one. Not the one that took longer to create. Don’t confuse the level of your investment into a product or service with that product’s value. This trips people up in both directions. Don’t charge more than something’s worth because it was hard for you to create. Don’t undercharge for something because it was easy for you to create. Charge based on value, not investment. ​Join the conversation about this idea here ( https://a2b30467.click.convertkit-mail4.com/r8u9845850ioh3dz792u2hdn55w4ds7h4g2ww/m2h7h5h35owgnnsm/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGlua2VkaW4uY29tL3Bvc3RzL3RoYXRqb3Noc3BlY3Rvcl9uby1vbmUtY2FyZXMtaG93LW11Y2gtZWZmb3J0LWl0LXRvb2steW91LWFjdGl2aXR5LTc0NDExNzAwMTEwMjI1OTQwNDgtNmRzaj9yY209QUNvQUFBR0doOEVCcjhMWWU1VzYxWm44YmgyRFhnS2w1N3pEZ1YwJnV0bV9tZWRpdW09bWVtYmVyX2Rlc2t0b3AmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1zaGFyZQ== ). ​ SEE YOU TOMORROW! 600 1st Ave, Ste 330 PMB 92768, Seattle, WA 98104-2246 ​Unsubscribe ( https://a2b30467.unsubscribe.convertkit-mail4.com/r8u9845850ioh3dz792u2hdn55w4ds7h4g2ww ) · Preferences ( https://preferences.convertkit-mail4.com/r8u9845850ioh3dz792u2hdn55w4ds7h4g2ww )​

The 11 concepts that matter most

josh@joshspector.com3/23/2026
​ "The moment you begin apologizing for how you manage your time, you are essentially apologizing for your priorities, which means apologizing for your life." - Maria Popova We all probably do a little too much apologizing these days. Now, on to this week's ideas... ​ ***************** The Starting Five ***************** 1.

​ This is one of my biggest pet peeves ( https://a2b30467.click.convertkit-mail4.com/mvue7vz7z8c5hq5qgn0cmhr2m8o9nc3he4qww/3ohphkh3052g9rhr/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGlua2VkaW4uY29tL3Bvc3RzL3RoYXRqb3Noc3BlY3Rvcl9kb250LWRvLXRoaXMtaS0xMDAtYmVsaWV2ZS1mb3JjaW5nLXBlb3BsZS1hY3Rpdml0eS03NDM1MDAzNTU2ODAzMzc1MTA1LWRBdUk_cmNtPUFDb0FBQUdHaDhFQnI4TFllNVc2MVpuOGJoMkRYZ0tsNTd6RGdWMCZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPW1lbWJlcl9kZXNrdG9wJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9c2hhcmU= ) when it comes to free newsletters. If you do it, it's hurting you more than you realize. ​ Today's email is brought to you by the email marketing tool I use ( https://a2b30467.click.convertkit-mail4.com/mvue7vz7z8c5hq5qgn0cmhr2m8o9nc3he4qww/wnh2hghqn2k6vob7/aHR0cHM6Ly9wYXJ0bmVycy5raXQuY29tLzU2c255OXEyN3VhcQ== ) for my newsletter and business. ​ A ranking of 5 albums I listened to this week: ​ ​1. Exodus ( https://a2b30467.click.convertkit-mail4.com/mvue7vz7z8c5hq5qgn0cmhr2m8o9nc3he4qww/reh8hohm4l3zvqf2/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL2FsYnVtLzY1NUtsaktJWGw0MmZpTkRNS2l2Ylk_c2k9UDRRNVFmb3lSdTZfNTltRGNOVFBsUQ== ) by Bob Marley (1977) ​ A classic with a few songs I’ve heard a million times before. ​ But my favorite song on the album is Turn Your Lights Down Low which gets a lot less attention (outside of a great Lauryn Hill cover that came out years later). ​ ​2. The Romantic ( https://a2b30467.click.convertkit-mail4.com/mvue7vz7z8c5hq5qgn0cmhr2m8o9nc3he4qww/vqh3hrhol9vr3eag/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL2FsYnVtLzd2STRpVHhEbWdFTjYzbGlRSFBFWDE_c2k9eFVYNHkxLVVUNXV3V21BdThzUW42dw== ) by Bruno Mars (2026) ​ Pop. Latin. Funk. Soul. R&B. Ballads. ​ Bruno’s one of those rare artists that can seemingly do anything (and everything). ​ There are no “bad” songs among the 9 on this album and even the ones that weren’t my favorites sound like hits. ​ I’m also a sucker for horns. ​ ​3. The New Abnormal ( https://a2b30467.click.convertkit-mail4.com/mvue7vz7z8c5hq5qgn0cmhr2m8o9nc3he4qww/dpheh0hev9onwdbm/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL2FsYnVtLzJ4a1pWMkhsMU9taThyazJEN3Q1bE4_c2k9SmR3R3RJQXRUQjJPSVdUakdabU1KZw== ) by The Strokes (2020) ​ I don’t remember hearing a lot about this when it came out probably because we were all too busy trying not to catch COVID. ​ Anyway… ​ I liked this album way more than I expected to since I wasn’t a huge fan of the band in the first place. ​ But this had an unexpected 80s feel including some stuff that vaguely reminded me of The Cure. ​ It’s really good and I’ll listen to it again at some point. ​ ​4. Black Pumas ( https://a2b30467.click.convertkit-mail4.com/mvue7vz7z8c5hq5qgn0cmhr2m8o9nc3he4qww/owhkhqhwpm6dldiv/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL2FsYnVtLzRLSkd5cEJVZTdBTmlidHJpMW1zVWU_c2k9WUZUR1k1NkFUaVc1MUNmSURLRWlUZw== ) by Black Pumas (2019) ​ “Colors” is a great song. The rest of this is just a bunch of ok songs. ​ A little disappointed by it because I had higher expectations. ​ ​5. The Fall-Off ( https://a2b30467.click.convertkit-mail4.com/mvue7vz7z8c5hq5qgn0cmhr2m8o9nc3he4qww/z2hghnhen2kxrvfp/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL2FsYnVtLzRqSTlTVTFHbXBJVmhITXVZWnV2WDc_c2k9Ym9zMXJFVm9Sdml6REZsd2F2d2x4dw== ) by J. Cole (2026) ​ I want to like J. Cole. ​ I like what he represents and he’s clearly a good rapper. ​ But… ​ The music is monotonous and boring which is an issue I find with so much new hip hop these days. ​ I was ready for this one to end almost as soon as it began. ​ SEE YOU TOMORROW! 600 1st Ave, Ste 330 PMB 92768, Seattle, WA 98104-2246 ​Unsubscribe ( https://a2b30467.unsubscribe.convertkit-mail4.com/mvue7vz7z8c5hq5qgn0cmhr2m8o9nc3he4qww ) · Preferences ( https://preferences.convertkit-mail4.com/mvue7vz7z8c5hq5qgn0cmhr2m8o9nc3he4qww )​

Here's what happened next in his own words: "I come to Josh with the strongest post I can write on my own and every single time, he finds ways to make it sharper, clearer, and more effective. What surprised me most is that Josh doesn’t just improve the post. He improves me as a writer. Through his feedback, I’m learning how to spot weaknesses, strengthen hooks, and communicate ideas more cleanly on my own. An unexpected bonus: He regularly suggests strong ideas for future posts, which has helped me think more strategically about my content overall. Since working with Josh, the posts he’s reviewed have performed 2–3× better than my previous posts. The difference is measurable and repeatable."

Each step is as if it is like the scene out of Disney’s Alice in Wonderland, where she meets Tweedledee and Tweedledom and ultimately, as she departs the woods, her path lies out before her on the forest floor…one lit up block of light at a time…and she only steps as it illuminates. That is how I feel." ​ SEE YOU TOMORROW! 600 1st Ave, Ste 330 PMB 92768, Seattle, WA 98104-2246 ​Unsubscribe ( https://a2b30467.unsubscribe.convertkit-mail4.com/d0ukeq6e69i0hodvpwwumhzlveq44blhkl3nn ) · Preferences ( https://preferences.convertkit-mail4.com/d0ukeq6e69i0hodvpwwumhzlveq44blhkl3nn )​
