🏴‍☠️ MUTINY TIME

Captain Your Own Ship

We are launching a new service…..

Newsletters For Brands

It’s literally the first of its kind for Amazon sellers.

Get in before the masses!!!

💣 The Hard Truth

All it takes one platform change and your entire business could vanish faster than my morning coffee (happened to me twice 🤬) .

Amazon algorithms, TikTok bans. Meta changes... you're building castles on borrowed land.

🚀 The Secret Weapon Nobody's Talking About

These aren’t your average newsletters…….

We're talking:

  • 36X return on investment (put in $1, get $36 back)

  • 55%+ open rates (industry average: 15%)

  • A customer list YOU actually own

🎯 Why This Hits Different

Our system doesn't just send emails. It:

  • Tracks your competitors' most engaged users

  • Legally steals their audience

  • Turns casual buyers into superfans

  • Creates content that actually converts

⚡ The Opportunity (Limited Time Only)

We're taking 3 founding brands at 60% off our normal rates. Forever.

  • Full system implementation

  • Weekly high-converting content

  • Direct Amazon listing integration

  • 20% list growth guaranteed monthly

Two spots are already being discussed. When they're gone, they're gone.

💣 PROFIT PLOT TWIST

TikTok's expensive reality check

Let me break your TikTok Shop fantasy real quick...

You think you'll send out 10 samples and become the next viral sensation?

The Numbers Nobody Shows You 💸

Your first 100 samples? Most will bomb harder than my dad jokes.

Here's the brutal math:

  • 95% of your videos will make less than $1 in sales

  • You need HUNDREDS of samples to find winners

  • Only 5-10% of videos actually make money

But here's the thing... those numbers aren't bad. That's just how the game works 🎮

The Sample Game: Quality vs Quantity 📦

Stop obsessing over quality... it's a numbers game.

Think of it like this: Would you rather have:

  • 5 "perfect" videos that make zero sales

  • Or 100 "okay" videos where 10 actually make money?

Yeah, thought so 😏

The Smart Money Move 🧠

Want better conversion rates? Here's your cheat code:

🔥 Put your top affiliates on retainer. 🔥

Why?

  • They learn what works

  • They improve with each video

  • They actually read your briefs (shocking, I know)

One good affiliate who posts regularly > 50 random affiliates posting once.

The Bottom Line 👊

Success on TikTok Shop isn't about perfect videos... it's about massive action.

Stop trying to control quality and start focusing on quantity. The platform will tell you what works.

Remember: While you're waiting for the "perfect" video, your competition is flooding the platform with content.

🎯 PREMIUM PROBLEMS

TikTok's Subscription Experiment

Guess who's copying Amazon's homework?

Think Amazon's got the subscription game locked down? Think again…...

TikTok's testing a feature that'll let customers get their favorite products on autopilot - and save some serious cash while they're at it 🤑

Here's why you should care: Regular revenue is sweeter than your morning coffee. Plus, you can finally stop playing "guess how much inventory I need" every month 📦

🚨 76% of UK Shoppers Going Social

Where Are You?

Black Friday Film GIF by Paramount Movies

Hold onto your coffee cups, folks! A fresh report to make traditional sellers cry 😭

Here's the tea:

  • 76% of UK shoppers are ready to throw their money at social commerce this year. Meanwhile, more than half of retailers are still playing hide and seek with social selling 🙈

The math ain't mathing here. When 3 out of 4 customers are waving their credit cards at TikTok Shop, why are most brands still pretending it's 2019?

💣 Here's Your Wake-Up Call: Your competition is either already crushing it on social or sleeping on this opportunity. Pick your fighter.

🎯 Your Move: Stop overthinking and get your butt on TikTok Shop. Like, yesterday.

That's it for this week 👊

But I need to ask a favour...
