The best copywriters I've worked with all had one thing in common: They were slow to ramp. Before they could write a usable ad, they needed to absorb: - Brand voice - Worldview and beliefs - Offer mechanics - Buyer language - Market context Then 6 months later, they'd leave. We manage hundreds of thousands in monthly ad spend, and that cycle just didn't scale. So I stopped hiring writers and started building systems. Specifically: one Claude project. I trained it on the same things I'd train a copywriter on: - Humanization skills - Tone of voice - Worldview and beliefs - Signature phrases - Content generation rules - Ad scripting frameworks - Niche-specific market knowledge The same onboarding process. Except it took a weekend instead of six months. Since then, we haven't needed a single revision. If you're still hiring for copy at scale, you might be solving a training problem with a hiring budget. Comment "SKILLS" and I'll send over my curated Claude Code skills, commands, and agents.

Most people track the wrong metrics. Health scores. Open rates. Dashboards that look reassuring. None of that actually tells you if your cold email is working. There’s only one deliverability question that matters: Where did the email land? • Primary inbox • Promotions • Spam That’s it. That’s the game. How I Actually Judge Deliverability I don’t guess. I test inbox placement. The simplest way to do this is by sending emails to seed accounts and checking where they land. Here’s how to read the results: Inbox (Primary) You’re good. This is where replies come from. Promotions Not ideal. Usually a copy issue. Spam System problem. Infrastructure, domains, or sending behavior needs fixing. If you don’t know where your emails are landing, you’re flying blind. Here's the real takeaway 👇 Instantly lets you run daily automated inbox placement tests with one click. It shows you exactly where your emails are landing - inbox, promotions, or spam. No guessing. No false confidence. It’s free, takes under a minute to set up, and gives you more signal than most “health scores” ever will. Once you track placement, deliverability becomes obvious, not mysterious. If you want the step-by-step setup for inbox placement testing, comment “Placement”, and I’ll send it over.
