@wellcopymax 😂😂😂😂 These pop-ups getting out of hand I love it I bet this actually crushes lmaooo 👋 Yo! I’m Max. 5 years ago I got into e-commerce through running my own online store. What I loved most was the marketing, direct response, and seeing numbers go up on a screen... That obsession led me to email, and I’ve been living and breathing it for the past 5 years. I went in-house first. Lead email marketer for multiple 8-figure brands at the same time until I built my agency, Well Copy. We’ve now worked with 300+ ecommerce brands and currently manage email, sms, and subscription programs for 100+ actively... We help brands scale from 7 to 9 figures, and have generated $250M+ from email in the process. I’m 23 and built this all while in college and graduating in May 2025. This is all I do. All I think about. And I’m just getting started. I post about email, SMS, and subscription brand growth... the strategies the fastest-growing brands are actually using TODAY.
