    108: How to Use Claude to Write a Revenue-Generating Newsletter on Autopilot with Dr. Destini Copp

    If you’ve been sending weekly newsletters and wondering why they’re not converting into actual revenue, this episode is going to change everything. My friend Dr. Destini Copp was in the same boat a few years ago—doing all the things the experts told her to do, staying consistent, nurturing her audience—but the money just wasn’t there. So she put on her marketing professor hat and spent six months studying the newsletters that had sold for millions of dollars. What she discovered completely transformed how she approaches email marketing. In this presentation from our recent AI That Sells event, Destini breaks down her Mini Magazine Method and Teach and Pitch framework, and then shows you exactly how she’s automated her entire newsletter writing process using Claude. She literally wakes up on Sunday morning to a fully written, branded HTML newsletter ready to review and send. If you’ve been spending hours every week writing emails or you’ve been inconsistent because it takes too much time, this system is going to blow your mind. In Today’s Episode We Discuss: Why most newsletters don’t convert into revenueThe mini magazine methodThe teach and pitch frameworkPlanning with your promotional calendar firstAutomating newsletters with Claude SkillsConnecting Claude to external tools and using CoworkUsing performance data to improve resultsGetting started and next stepsResources Mentioned: Dr. Destini Copp’s Resources: Destini’s Website Free Newsletter Profit Audit Newsletter Profit Club (membership) HobbyScool Newsletters to Study: Morning Brew The Skimm The Hustle All Healthy Everyday AI Tools & Platforms: Claude AI Gamma App – For creating AI-generated slide presentations Kit – Email service provider Squarespace – Website platform Substack – Newsletter and social media platform The AI Newsletter Workshop & The Claude Migration Workshop are included in the Empowered Business Society® membership.

    106: This Simple Email Shift Made Me $23K in 8 Weeks

    In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a huge shift I made in my email marketing this year—one that completely transformed how I sell, connect, and engage with my audience. The truth is, traditional promo blasts weren’t working anymore. Open rates were dropping, clicks were slowing, and my subscribers weren’t unresponsive—they were just tuned out. So, I decided to stop shouting into the inbox and start a real conversation. What followed were four “inbox experiments” that reignited my list, rebuilt connection, and brought in over $23,000 in organic revenue—all without ads, affiliates, or new funnels. In Today’s Episode We Discuss: Why I ditched traditional flash salesThe creation of the Empowered Edge newsletterHow email replies boost deliverabilityThe four inbox experiments that changed everythingExperiment 1 – Giving away my Magic App Mapper GPTExperiment 2 –  Encouraging replies and user engagementExperiment 3 – Turning engagement into $8,500 in 24 hoursExperiment 4 – The Taylor Swift-inspired Easter egg huntThe five biggest lessons from these experimentTurning replies into revenueResources Mentioned: Learn more about the Quick Win Workshop: Inbox Experiments.

    AI is everywhere, but if you’re a woman entrepreneur who’s been hesitant to dive in, you’re not alone. In this episode, I sit down with Kinsey Soderberg, host of the Authentic AI podcast, to talk about why women need to claim their seat at the AI table—not just for business growth, but to shape the future of these tools.

This conversation is packed with practical insights, cultural commentary, and a call to action for women to stop shrinking back from technology. The reality is that it can give us our time, energy, and sanity back.
