Scale is the reward

Published 7 months ago • 1 min read

"Just automate this and do it at scale mate. You’ll hit enough people, someone’s bound to bite."

That was the actual advice I got from one of those broccoli-topped lads in a cold DM.

Their entire pitch boiled down to:

  • Write some BS message
  • Blast it out to as many people as you can
  • Hope one of them bites

Cheers mate, but no thanks.

This is exactly why cold outreach is sitting at a 2-5% reply rate.

We’re all getting spammed by people who think more = better.

It doesn’t.

Not if the thing you’re scaling or pushing people to is crap.

And now with AI, it’s even worse.

Everyone’s automating garbage before they’ve even proven it works.

Look, here's the thing...

Scale and automation aren’t step one.

They come after you’ve got a working system.

They’re multipliers.

You validate the system first — then you scale it to grow what already works.

If you’re scaling something that’s not converting, all you’re doing is bleeding time and money faster.

If you’re not sure where the gaps are — or if your system is actually ready to scale — I can help.

I’ve got a couple of slots open for Growth Reviews.

I’ll audit your current setup, show you where the leaks are, and map out the changes you need to make it work.

So you can then hit up the young spammers with their silly haircuts to throew more people at the system.

Reply with “growth model” and I’ll send the details.

How important is design for you? As in, you see two ads... One is well designed The other is a basic Canva template ... which one do you click on? And when you get to the sales page, do you prefer... A basic design that doesn't have that high-end veneer Something that looks swish and has obviously had a pro make sure it's pixel-perfect Which one of these approaches will build more trust with you? It's a genuine question I have and I'd love it if you hit reply to let me know. Why am I asking?...

This is it. Write Yourself Rich closes tonight at 10pm Eastern. If you’ve been sitting on the fence, thinking, “I’ll do it next round…” I dunno if there will be a "next round" of this. Which means... No more live coaching.No more access.No more chance to work with Chris directly for 8 weeks. After tonight, the doors shut and you’re back to figuring it out on your own, the same complexity, same grind, same guesswork. Here’s what you’re missing if you don’t join... A simple, proven system that...

There’s probably way too many courses out there promising to “fix your bizniz.” You’ve probably bought a few (I know I have). But most of them give you videos and templates… and then leave you to figure it all out on your own. Chris's Write Yourself Rich ain't that. When you join Write Yourself Rich, you will get the usual DIY course elements we all know. The kind of stuff you can consume in your own time to understand WHY something works. Which is still pretty damn useful. But honestly,...
