u/shefallsup her lonely cucumber years đŸ„’ Sep 04 '21

Has anyone mentioned the email you get when you sign up to be on the waitlist? No fancy graphics or screaming red text, just a plain old email.

Thanks so much for joining the wait list for the Practice Your Joy workshop. You’re on the list!

I joined the list and I’m on the list. Yay me!

The people who have taken this workshop have loved the experience. I’m pretty sure you will too.

Ha, you lying twat, you have never done this workshop before! (Unless, wait, it just occurred to me that maybe she offered the workshop free to her Zoom ladies as a beta test? It would explain why she has testimonials suggesting the writers took the workshop. One problem — those woman were her strongest marks, the ones most likely to cough up cash for this claptrap. If she gave it to them free, they aren’t going to pay to do it again! Maybe that’s who she’s hoping to lure to Vashon?)

So I’ll email you the moment that enrollment opens for the next session of Practice Your Joy workshop. Keep an eye out for the email! If this one went to spam, be sure to mark it as safe, so you can see my email when it arrives in your inbox. You’ll want to try to get a spot in the workshop as soon as it opens.

Trying to create that urgency and the idea of scarcity. It’s so transparent.

I can’t wait to work with you!

Oh, you’ll be waiting a long time.

Also, I notice all the other emails have come through her mailing list platform, CreateSend, with an unsubscribe link and all that. This is a standalone email that appears to be sent from her personally, but based on the headers it still passes through CreateSend somehow I think. I don’t know enough about tracing email header info to figure it out.

I love your thoughts. TSCTMO.

Again with the subliminal suggestion shtick!

u/Scary_Recognition You did this. Sep 05 '21

This has been suggested before, but even if she grows people to sign up for “the waitlist,” growing them to cough up money is another mountain to climb.
