Hey y’all, Liz Wilcox here hitting you with a quick but seriously punchy solo episode all about… *drumroll please*… the power of saying NO! If you’ve ever felt that twinge of guilt for shutting a door or worried you’d miss out by turning something down, this is your episode. Pour that iced coffee or crack open a LaCroix and let’s chat about boundaries in business, the abundance mindset, and why your “no” might just be the biggest yes to your own dreams.

Quick highlights:

- How my “people pleaser” ways made it SO tough to say no—and what changed. - A pep talk for anyone who’s been asked to do “just this one thing” for a big-name client and felt that wallet tug (I walked away from a five-figure project and lived to tell the tale!). - Why I stopped doing non-stop podcast interviews and focused on building my own platform—hi, you’re listening to it right now! - How setting firm boundaries let me grow a million-dollar membership instead of burning out as a freelancer. - Confession time: I’m not always the queen of boundaries, and this summer, I learned (again) what happens when I slip back into that yes-to-everything, scarcity mindset. - Real talk on why “no, thank you” isn’t just polite—it’s vital if you want freedom and alignment in your business.

Stay cool,   Liz Wilcox

What’s shaking, email fam? It’s your girl Liz Wilcox, coming at you between the melodious sounds of leaf blowers and luxury hedge fences (oh, the mini-mansion life of my neighbors!). Before Chelsea bursts in from school demanding snacks, I hit record to drop some seriously juicy email marketing tidbits you do NOT want to miss.

• Bougie neighbor updates: Because what’s podcasting without a little suburban chaos?

• Listener shoutout of the week: Justin from our Facebook group shares his “confession” and a killer success story using the cult-favorite Pickles template (someone just booked a magic show from a years-lost client!).

• Experiment #1: One-Word Subject Lines:

  If you’re bored writing emails, shake things up! I’ve been testing (okay, basically obsessed with) one-word subject lines—think “Urgent,” “Balls,” “Fetch” (yep, a Mean Girls ref), and even “Poppycock.” The results? Sky-high open rates! Turns out, a little intrigue goes a long way (and makes preview text a breeze).

• Experiment #2: Sending More Emails (Gasp!):

  That’s right. Instead of being “annoying,” I found that emailing 3–4 times a week actually increased my open and click rates. Community gets stronger, inboxes get friendlier, and no one’s running away (they’re actually replying more!).

• Behind the scenes:

  A sneak peek at real data and the “why” behind these moves—nothing fancy or fussy, just what’s working right now.

Remember: You aren’t annoying your list—you’re becoming their favorite part of the week. Go hit send, experiment, and let yourself have a little fun with it!

Until next time, Liz 💌

P.S. If you hear faint leaf blowing, just picture me podcasting from the wilds of waterfront suburbia. We keep it real around here.

Hey hey, friends! Liz Wilcox here, and today’s episode of The Email Sound Booth is a wild ride through the world of launching. Grab your water (swigs encouraged), settle in, and let’s talk about that million-dollar question: How much is too much launching? Spoiler: There’s no one-size-fits-all answer—so let’s dig into the juicy details!

Some highlights:

It All Starts with List Growth: If you want to sell like wild, you gotta keep growing your email list. Seriously, I’ll keep banging on this drum for another 133 episodes if I need to!

ABC Launches, Baby! Huge shoutout to Tarzan Kay for breaking launches down into A, B, and C levels. 

Ask Yourself:

• Am I always welcoming new people onto my list?
• Do I have a variety of offers and launch sizes?
• Are my launches feeling fun, or are they burning me (or my audience) out?

If you need help with launches—templates for flash sales, big launches, or just selling in general—check out my Email Marketing Membership for just $9 a month. It’s practically a steal and might just change your business.

Stay amazing, keep launching (the smart way), and I’ll catch you in the next episode!

Hey, hey, hey! Liz Wilcox here, your favorite (and accidentally snarky) email marketer, fresh off a writing retreat—and let’s be honest, I didn’t write a single word of fiction. Instead, I did what I do best: actual work, specifically BATCHING newsletter content so I can finally take a dang summer off!

Hey hey, inbox heroes! Liz Wilcox coming at you with all the email tea (and maybe a little humble bragging...) for April 2025’s juiciest campaigns. If you’ve ever wanted to peek under the hood of someone’s actual newsletter strategy—numbers, results, real talk—this episode is for you.

This week, Liz takes us on a whirlwind tour of her best-performing emails from April, and y’all, it’s a masterclass in not only getting those opens, clicks, and replies, but also making real affiliate sales (we’re talking thousands of dollars from ONE email).

Here’s what went down:

• Stats You’ll Want to Steal:

  Liz spills the details on 17 emails she sent this month, including weekly newsletter templates, one killer sales email, and a ton of newsletters with juicy links for you to click.

• Subject Line Gold:

  “Q2,” “please steal these,” “stupid”—Liz proves that sometimes short, weird, and eyebrow-raising is the way to your reader’s heart (and open button). For real, her open rates are fire.

• The “Tell Me” Email:

  This less than 100 words beauty not only got a 59% open rate and 3% click rate, but also generated HUNDREDS of replies. (You want your audience solution-aware? Do this.) Plus, Liz used those replies for mega customer research and—surprise!—to make more sales.

• Big Money Email:

  Another contender for April’s top performer: an affiliate pitch with a 67.8% open rate, 7.4% click rate, and over $2,000 in earned commissions. Sent only to her best customers, this email is basically proof you don’t have to shout to the whole room to get paid.

• Repurpose, Promote, RELATE:

  Whether you’re a list-building newbie or crushing it with four-digit monthly growth, Liz shows how to celebrate both, nurture your audience, and sell (naturally!) no matter your subscriber count.

• Get the Goods:

  Not on Liz’s list? Babe, what are you doing with your life?! She’s giving away her welcome sequence, three newsletter samples, and 52 irresistible subject lines. All. For. Free. (Links in the show notes or head to lizwilcox.com.)

Ready to revolutionize your own newsletters? Check out the episode links for the actual email templates, and if you’re ready to level up, snag your place in Liz’s $9/month Email Marketing Membership. High-performing emails (and cash flow) await!

Hey hey, Email Sound Booth fam!

Liz Wilcox is BACK with Episode 129, and let me tell you—if you’ve ever felt like you’re clinging to the edge of Too Busy Mountain, this episode is that deep breath you didn’t know you needed.

This week, Liz gets real about life, work, and why it sometimes feels like we’re a hair away from tossing our laptops into the abyss (don’t do it, those things are expensive). Whether you’ve got a business, a 9-to-5, kids, or just one of those neighbors who believes in sunrise leaf-blowing, this one’s for us.

Here’s what went down:

• Taking the Edge Off (Millennial Edition)
  • Liz shares her (honestly, genius) way of keeping work and chill mode separate: GETTING DRESSED for her biz! Yup, she rocks actual shoes and pants even when working from home. Then she changes into “house clothes” (not quite pajamas, not quite jeans) when work’s done. Gamechanger for ending the workday mentally and physically.
• Out of Sight, Out of Mind
  • The easiest productivity hack? Making it harder to work when you’re supposed to be OFF. Liz literally unplugs her desktop at the end of the day. Laptop in the backpack, backpack in the closet. 🙅‍♀️ Work, begone!
• Email and Social Detox
  • She doesn’t have her work email on her phone (jealous), and gives YOU permission to ditch the social apps when things get overwhelming. Removing Facebook? Instagram? That’s self-care, folks.
• Tab Control = Mind Control
  • Liz’s Rule: No more than 5 browser tabs open at a time. HARSH but fair. How many tabs do you have open right now? (No, seriously. Go count. We’ll wait.)
• Stepping Away > Forcing It
  • When her brain goes full static, Liz puts on her sneakers and just goes for a walk. Even if it feels “counterproductive,” getting some air can reset your mood and help you come back fresher.

Key Takeaway:

A little self-discipline—like changing your clothes or shutting your computer all the way down—can help you take the edge off before you even get there. Millennial-approved, pinky promise.

Go listen, then close those tabs. We believe in you!

Hey, hey! Liz Wilcox here, and you’re hanging at the virtual watercooler for another episode of The Email Sound Booth—specifically, the only podcast episode where we deep-dive into whether using capital letters in your subject lines is a yay or nay. (Spoiler: I have opinions, and they’re backed by a little something called “Liz’s personal inbox.”)

If you’re a regular around here, first of all—thank you! (And show your girl some love with a review, even if you think I ramble more than a group chat after midnight.)

Episode TL;DR:

This episode is for all you biz besties who want their emails to pop in the inbox—without looking like a shouty spam bot or, worse, slipping into the graveyard of unopened messages. I fire up my own Outlook (messy, mildly embarrassing, hopefully relatable), and walk you through exactly what kind of subject lines get my attention…and which ones scream “delete me please.”

Let’s Break It Down:

• Capital Letters or Nah?

  I’m Team Lowercase. In my inbox, all those capitalized, “Title Case” subject lines blend right into the sea of spam and autofiltered nonsense. But a simple, lowercase subject? It jumps out. Just one word, no caps—boom, instantly visible.

• But Don’t Take My Word For It—Experiment!

  If you love your capital letters (maybe you were the kid who aced handwriting practice), go for it! Make it YOU. But if you’re itching to get a few more opens, try swapping to lowercase—just for a hot minute. Your people might surprise you.

• Proof from My Inbox:

  Spam = usually “type case” (that’s every first letter capitalized). Real, interesting humans? Lots more lowercase happening—and it stands out.

• Honest Biz Chat:

  This isn’t about some rigid “only lowercase emails convert” rule. It’s about zigging when everyone else zags, finding what fits your vibe, and being bold enough to test something new.

Quick Win Actions for Your Next Send:

1. Try writing a single-word, all lowercase subject line.
2. Review your inbox—what stands out to you?
3. Don’t be afraid to mix it up and see what happens!

You’re the best. If you learned something new, drop me a line or leave a review. And remember: you don’t need to yell (with caps) to get noticed—sometimes the quietest emails get the most love.

Catch you next time!

Hey, hey! Welcome back to another episode of The Email Sound Booth with your internet BFF and queen of keeping it real, Liz Wilcox. 🚀

This week, Liz is coming at you—throat tickle and all—to demystify that daunting beast: writing a weekly newsletter. (Spoiler alert: you do NOT have to sound like a business robot or the next “sage-on-the-stage.” In fact, please don’t.)

In this episode, Liz shares:

• Why you don’t have to send a newsletter every week… but also why you might actually want to if you want those juicy email list results.
• The reason nobody expects you to be DJ Jazzy Jeff, Vera Bradley, or an all-knowing biz expert (lol, love that for us).
• Her “Guide on the Side” mindset—aka, blasting the myth that you have to be the End-All-Be-All Expert™️ just to send an email to your list.
• How to let go of newsletter perfectionism (forget the perfectly staged food pics and over-edited subject lines—just TALK to your people!).
• A super simple, zero-stress 20-Minute Newsletter Framework to help you keep it short, sweet, and so much less intimidating.

Liz keeps it totally real about what it’s like sending emails when you have a business (yes, you can talk about the time you stepped in dog poop or how you finally bought a new laptop—your subscribers are humans too!).

Whether you’re a food blogger, e-comm whiz, pet psychic, or dream realtor—take this as your weekly permission slip to just. hit. send.

Catch you next time! ✌️

P.S. Don’t forget to snag the framework and check out Liz’s membership if you’re ready to make your inbox (and your life) a whole lot easier.
