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

  1. 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?

  1. 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

  1. 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?

  1. 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

  1. 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:

  1. 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)

  1. 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

  1. 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

  1. 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

  1. 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

  1. 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

  1. Thank You Page Calendar Booking - Don't waste your thank you page. Add a calendar booking widget with clear value prop for qualified leads.

  2. Authority-Based Signup Promise - His "I only send valuable tactics" builds trust. Create a clear content promise that sets quality expectations.

  3. Personal Brand Integration - His name is the product. If you have personal brand equity, lean into it hard across all touchpoints.

  4. Workshop Scarcity - Limited seats (100 businesses) creates urgency. Use artificial or real scarcity to drive action.

  5. Soft-Sell Welcome - No hard pitch in first email. Build relationship first, then guide to conversion in later sequences.
