The Email Sound Booth with Liz Wilcox

What up, email wizards?! In this episode of Sales Email Summit, We sit down with Beth Barany, a science fiction and fantasy publishing coach with seriously magical affiliate email skills. Beth shares the real-life story behind a super successful sales email she sent to her list, promoting a friend’s workshop (spoiler: it brought in sales and had an enviable click rate). Liz and Beth get honest about last-minute buyers, the power of authentic partnerships, and why borrowing killer emails isn’t just smart…it’s essential. If you’ve ever dreamed of making affiliate sales but also love to support your biz besties, buckle up and take notes! Episode Highlights Behind-the-Scenes of a Winning Email Beth dishes all about her “Time Sensitive Invite: Unlock Your Hero’s Heart” email—crafted for a pal’s writing workshop. She breaks down why the emotional, FOMO-driven subject line and her heartfelt enthusiasm got her people clicking. Bonus: Liz is seriously impressed by that 4% click rate. How (and Why) to Rock Affiliate Promotions Beth spills her secret sauce on partnership selling, only recommending workshops and services she genuinely loves to her audience. She’s leaned into affiliate income as a speaker and workshop leader, making her list a goldmine for collabs without spreading herself too thin. Embracing the Last-Minute Buyer Lifestyle Both Liz and Beth agree: their people are last-minute action-takers. They chat about why it’s totally fine (even strategic!) to send multiple reminders right up to the wire, because sometimes your subscribers need that “hey, it’s happening in 20 minutes!” energy.
