Kieran Drew's Newsletter Secret
and how I plan to copy him...
Welcome to this week’s edition of the Creator Summit Newsletter where every Tuesday you’ll get an email from me helping you become a more holistic creator and entrepreneur, or a “Full-Stack Creator” as some might say.
That being said, let’s get into today’s message:
The Creator Summit Newsletter is brought to you by:

There's a rising demand for high-quality video content on LinkedIn. This presents a major opportunity for brands (and thought leaders) ready to step in.
Here’s how you can capitalize:
Grab your company's existing video assets, like interviews or webinars
Generate dozens of clips using OpusClip
Schedule your whole month’s worth of video clips on LI using our new Calendar feature
Reply to comments on your videos to foster your new connections

I’ve noticed something…
I’ve been writing, reading, building, and analyzing newsletters for the past 15 months.
And Kieran Drew’s newsletter stands out far above almost every other newsletter I’ve seen (including my own).
Yes, he is an excellent copywriter…
Yes, he’s built a massive following on Twitter/X…
Yes, he knows how to market, build, and sell a product and service…
But that’s not it.
What separates him is this little thing he does at the end of every single newsletter… have you noticed it?

It’s not the words, it’s not the caption… it’s the personalized and authentic picture of himself he takes and adds to the end of every email.
Why is this so important?
Because in a sea of content and people trying to build a brand, the people who are winning and will continue to win are those who share their story, are vulnerable, and initiate a personal connection with their audience.
That’s the secret sauce…
Alongside being consistent and posting daily for over 2 years, that’s why Kieran Drew has built a massive brand, business, and email list.
Because he fully embodies the “personal” aspect of a personal brand.
So, how do I plan to copy him?
By sharing a piece of my story in nearly every email going forward…
Most of you know I’m a former financial advisor turned online business owner and creator, right?
Either way, I’m going to be diving into that and how my failed experience as an advisor led me to where I am today.
Starting in my next newsletter edition on Friday…
Stay tuned…
Thanks for reading!
Until next time,
Eric Higgs
