Alex's $100M Newsletter System
The stuff you can get away with when you have 10M+ followers

Hey, it's Tommy.
I just spent 3 hours analysing Alex Hormozi's complete newsletter system and discovered why his funnel works despite breaking every conversion rule in the book.
In today's breakdown:
Why his terrible opt-in page still converts (and why yours won't)
The thank you page move that books 3x more meetings
How his welcome email builds trust without selling

GROWTH STRATEGY
THE BREAKDOWN: ALEX HORMOZI'S $100M NEWSLETTER SYSTEM
Why I chose this example:
Alex's funnel proves that brand beats best practices - but it also shows dangerous moves that would kill conversions for anyone else. His thank you page strategy is pure gold though.
Let's dive in...
PART 1: LANDING PAGE BREAKDOWN

Headline & Sub-headline
What they're doing well:
"Get the Mozi Money Minute" - Short, brandable, implies speed and value
Uses his personal brand name which carries massive authority
Promise is clear: valuable content in bite-sized format
Potential improvements:
Zero benefit-focused copy - "Money Minute" means nothing to cold traffic
No sub-headline explaining what you actually get or why you need it
Missing the "so what?" - why should I care about another newsletter?
Visual Elements
What they're doing well:
Clean, minimal design doesn't distract from the form
Purple branding is consistent and recognizable
Simple layout focuses attention on signup
Potential improvements:
No visual proof of value - no screenshots, testimonials, or results
Missing any imagery that shows what the content looks like
Could use social proof badges or subscriber counts to build trust
Form/Signup Experience
What they're doing well:
Promise statement about only sending valuable tactics builds trust
Clear privacy assurance reduces signup anxiety
Form fields are well-designed and easy to complete
Potential improvements:
WAY too many fields - asking for first name, last name, email AND phone
Phone number requirement will kill 50%+ of conversions for most brands
No value exchange clearly stated - what do I get for giving all this data?
Social Proof
What they're doing well:
Alex's personal brand IS the social proof
Clean, professional presentation builds credibility
Association with Acquisition.com adds authority
Potential improvements:
Zero testimonials, subscriber counts, or results mentioned
No proof that the newsletter actually delivers value
Missing any indication of who else subscribes or benefits
Offer/Lead Magnet
What they're doing well:
"Money Minute" implies quick, actionable content
Promise of "most valuable tactics" sets expectation of quality
Simple, clear positioning around making money
Potential improvements:
Vague benefit - what specific money-making tactics?
No clear first value delivery mentioned
Missing any preview of what the actual content looks like
PART 2: THANK YOU PAGE BREAKDOWN

If you want to copy Alex’s thank you page:
Confirmation Message
What they're doing well:
Clear confirmation that the Mozi Minute is being sent
Sets expectation for email delivery timing
Maintains consistent branding and messaging
Potential improvements:
Could include email whitelist instructions to improve deliverability
Missing any preview of what to expect in first email
No clear next steps beyond checking email (e.g. reply)
Next Action Prompt
What they're doing well:
BRILLIANT move - immediately offers calendar booking
Creates urgency with limited workshop seats (100 businesses)
Clear value proposition for the scaling workshop
Potential improvements:
Could strengthen the connection between newsletter signup and workshop
Missing any qualification questions before booking
Calendar form could use more social proof
Additional Value Offer
What they're doing well:
iClosed calendar widget with smart booking flow
Requires form completion before calendar access
Clear value proposition for in-person workshop
Potential improvements:
Could add more details about workshop content
Missing testimonials from previous workshop attendees
Could include FAQ section about the workshop
PART 3: WELCOME EMAIL BREAKDOWN

Email Structure
What they're doing well:
Opens with powerful hook about 20 hours to proficiency
Personal story creates connection and vulnerability
Clear promise about what the newsletter will contain
Potential improvements:
Very long for a welcome email - could lose attention
No clear call-to-action until the very end
Could segment content into multiple emails
Individual Email Content
What they're doing well:
Alex's personal voice comes through strongly
Sets clear expectations about email frequency and content
Self-deprecating humor builds likability
Potential improvements:
Focuses too much on his story vs. subscriber benefits
Could include more specific value preview
Missing any immediate actionable content
CTAs
What they're doing well:
Soft CTA approach builds trust before selling
Links to additional content (Readers Vs Authors)
No aggressive sales pitch in welcome sequence
Potential improvements:
Could include option to book call for qualified prospects
Missing any way to engage beyond just reading
Could add social media follow CTAs
5 TACTICS YOU CAN STEAL FROM ALEX'S COMPLETE FUNNEL
Thank You Page Calendar Booking - Don't waste your thank you page. Add a calendar booking widget with clear value prop for qualified leads.
Authority-Based Signup Promise - His "I only send valuable tactics" builds trust. Create a clear content promise that sets quality expectations.
Personal Brand Integration - His name is the product. If you have personal brand equity, lean into it hard across all touchpoints.
Workshop Scarcity - Limited seats (100 businesses) creates urgency. Use artificial or real scarcity to drive action.
Soft-Sell Welcome - No hard pitch in first email. Build relationship first, then guide to conversion in later sequences.
