Hosted by Taylor Marks, each episode explores modern marketing through the lens of today's AI-driven landscape, including content creation, messaging, buyer psychology, funnels, launches, offer strategy, and audience growth. This is not a podcast about becoming an AI expert or replacing human teams with bots. Instead, Pretty Smart Marketing focuses on helping real business owners market more effectively in a world where AI is changing how businesses create, communicate, and sell. Each week, Taylor shares practical strategies, proven frameworks, behind-the-scenes experiments, and open, honest conversations about what's working right now - not last year. AI is changing the way we run our businesses, but when it comes to good marketing? There's no replacement for tried and tested, real-world data. Pretty Smart Marketing combines the two.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-30T00:18:25.621694+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pretty-smart-marketing-7505299"},"episode":{"title":"19 | Why People Hit Unsubscribe (No, It’s Not Because You Email Too Much)","slug":"19-why-people-hit-unsubscribe-no-it-s-not-because-you-email-too-much","published_at":"2026-02-10T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pretty-smart-marketing-7505299/19-why-people-hit-unsubscribe-no-it-s-not-because-you-email-too-much","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pretty-smart-marketing-7505299","url":"https://launchconfidential.com/post/19-why-people-hit-unsubscribe-no-its-not-because-you","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/24bedc3f-8760-44b4-b2e7-c494f3840e85.mp3","summary":"Ever hovered over the send button asking yourself, “Am I annoying my list?” In this episode of Launch Confidential, we’re talking about the quiet anxiety so many coaches carry around email marketing: the fear of being “too much,” annoying your list, or losing your audience just by showing up in their inbox. Because when that anxiety kicks in, what usually happens isn’t restraint - it’s silence. And silence cools your audience, stretches out your sales cycle, and makes every launch feel heavier than it should. If you find yourself second-guessing follow-ups, spacing emails way farther apart than you know you should, or holding back because of that one nasty “please remove me” that still lives rent-free in your brain… this conversation is for you. KEY MOMENTS 01:41 - The real reason people unsubscribe (and why it’s not what you think) 03:25 – The fear loop that teaches your list to tune you out 05:52 - Why unsubscribes are actually doing you a favor 06:28 - The fastest way to become forgettable in someone’s inbox 07:54 - The subject line habit quietly killing your open rates 09:03 - Why “safe” emails never get opened 10:00 - The underused inbox feature that changes open rates 12:55 - How to tell if you’re emailing too much — or not enough 14:38 - The kind of emails people actually want to read 16:13 - A sustainable email cadence that doesn’t burn you out 19:03 - The reframe that makes emailing feel lighter instantly CONNECT + RESOURCES Grab our favorite tools, trainings, and launch resources here: Get the 5 Files Guide to create a reusable AI “brain” for your business - without re-explaining your offers, audience, and brand voice in every new chat. 📱Run the free Launch IQ GPT diagnostic to find the gaps in your launch system in minutes.
