"Before HMD set up my email system, I was terrified of book launches. Now? My last launch did £12,000 in the first week - all from my email list. No Amazon ads needed. The welcome sequence they wrote converts like crazy, and my readers actually REPLY to my newsletters. That personal connection is priceless."
