Affiliate campaign · 13 October - 4 December 2026

The Movement Athlete
Black Friday Campaign

Welcome. This is your send-by-date campaign, from the first introduction to the final Black Friday decision.

Start with education. Help people see a better way to train. Make that path personal. Then introduce the offer, answer their real questions and close when you said you would.

Published campaign resource. Offer and story drafts marked on hold still require approval before sending. Publishing this resource does not send or schedule emails.

Prepared sender versions, original sources preserved. Choose TMA or Affiliate, then Primary or Alternative for each date. Education destinations are supplied; offer drafts require the issued 2026 checkout URL before export. No email has been sent or scheduled.

Start with Tuesday, 13 October

What We’re Doing

We are moving an opted-in audience that has never heard of TMA from “Why would I care?” to “I understand this, it fits me, and I know what I’m buying.” Cold means unfamiliar with the product, not a purchased list or permission to email strangers.

The reader is the hero. Their desired future is capability: getting stronger, moving better, learning a skill, keeping up with family, or returning to training. TMA is the guide and system, not the main character.

I care → I understand → I can start → It fits me → I can decide

31 main sends. Optional VIP sends, engaged-reader extras, a replacement and excluded references are labelled beside their dates. Do not send every branch to everyone. Daily prelaunch begins 14 November only for subscribers covered by your approved cadence and consent policy.

How This Works

  1. Choose your sender above. Affiliate is selected first. Enter your own name for its prepared sign-off; TMA uses the prepared TMA identity. Prepared greetings use a neutral Hi without an ESP merge tag.
  2. Follow the dated calendar. Each slot has one job. Primary and Alternative are choices for that same send. Original source keeps the historical body and subjects unchanged.
  3. Choose one subject. Where paired previews are supplied, the preview changes with the subject.
  4. Check destinations. Education uses official working links by default; affiliate tracking has not been validated. The partner hub says 2026 Black Friday checkout links are being built for issue by 2 November. An offer draft stays on hold until you supply its issued URL. The public Black Friday page currently redirects to standard start-training and is not a substitute for that offer URL.
  5. Export your selected email. Copy formatted, plain text, full email or HTML, or download an individual HTML email with its images. A supplied primary URL changes only prepared primary destinations. Export stays disabled while a production hold or draft token remains. A supplied URL cannot clear a story-claims hold. Prepared edits, media provenance and additional archival sources appear below each email.
  6. Keep a portable campaign. The toolbar download saves sender identity, your name, subjects, versions and supplied URLs for later use, including unfinished drafts. Campaign text export requires every selected send to clear its holds. Add your ESP disclosure, sender address and unsubscribe handling before delivery, and stop acquisition sends when someone buys.

Early education uses suggested local morning slots. From 14 November, times are Pacific (PST, UTC-8). The final cutoff is 4 December at 01:59 in Costa Rica, or 07:59 UTC. If starting late, do not compress several education sends into one day or backdate the campaign.

The Frameworks Behind the Arc

These are working principles, not a promise that a framework or score will double revenue.

Jeff Walker / Product Launch Formula
Useful pre-prelaunch education, then Opportunity (E11), Transformation (E13), Ownership Experience (E17), anticipation, offer opening, objection resolution and one real close. This is an email-led adaptation, not a claim that three videos exist. PLF reference.
Hero’s Journey
The reader’s existing frustration is the starting world; an achievable movement goal is the call; assessment is a first commitment; a coherent path and relatable stories make change believable. The product helps the reader act. It does not replace practice.
Andre Chaperon / Soap Opera continuity
Answer a useful question, then make the next one worth opening. Existing original endings are preserved, even where their historic promises do not match this sequence; those mismatches are noted for approval. New emails bridge deliberately. At the close, resolve loops instead of creating fresh ones.
Hormozi / Value Equation
Make the desired result concrete, give a credible reason to believe the method can fit, make the first action clear, and reduce the burden of guessing what to do. Do not imply effortless or instant results.
Awareness + direct response
Match each email to what the reader knows now. One lead idea, one primary action, skimmable emphasis and a relevant next step. PAS and AIDA are local copy tools, not reasons to turn every education email into a hard sale.
Proof, commitment and honest urgency
Use actual source stories, useful replies and the assessment to deepen involvement. Make offer terms understandable. Urgency comes from an approved deadline, not invented stock, fake extensions or “last-ever” claims without evidence.

TMA’s existing launch brief names PLF, Soap Opera, the Value Equation and one email = one job. Hero-journey, awareness and direct-response implementation here are strategy choices, not claims of proprietary certification.

Winning Emails We’re Reusing

The requested database ranks observed engagement under its sample-size and unsubscribe guardrails. These are engagement-shortlisted campaigns, not proven purchase winners. Audience, period, destination and automation effects differ; historic rates are not forecasts.

Original authors remain intact in Original source. Prepared TMA and Affiliate versions adapt sender identity explicitly and list their edits. The shared voice is concrete, personal and direct, with vivid examples, questions and clear actions.

The Send-by-Date Campaign

The main path is already selected. Open the email for its date, choose one subject, and use the full copy below. Alternative versions serve the same slot.

13-30 October 2026

01 Education: why this matters

This is about the body I want to live in, not another workout app. Tuesday and Friday.

3-13 November 2026

A progression matched to my starting point makes more sense than guessing. Tuesday and Friday.

14-21 November 2026

03 Prelaunch: see yourself doing it

I can see how this would work for me and fit into my week. One main email each day.

22-23 November 2026

I know what opens next and when to look for it. One main email per day; eligible VIP sidecar.

24-30 November 2026

Affiliate Q&A

Do I send every email in the table of contents?

Follow the main campaign. VIPs and engaged nonbuyers have labelled branches. E26 replaces E24. E21 is a duplicate source teaser held as a reference; E41 is an unapproved hold proposal, not a send.

Why do I see Original source, Primary and Alternative?

Primary and Alternative are prepared choices for the same slot, with TMA and Affiliate sender versions. Original source preserves the historical body and subject options exactly. Prepared edits and media provenance are listed below each email.

What if the original is incomplete?

Black Friday #1 is test copy, #2 is a placeholder, and #28 has no body. Their slots now have complete campaign emails. The incomplete originals remain visible under Original source.

Why not use Sean’s story twice?

Original #5 and #6 repeat nearly the same message. #5 stays in E14. E17 now does the PLF ownership job; #6 is preserved in its Original source tab.

Can I use all the subject options?

Choose one per recipient and send. Original emoji, spelling and subject options remain intact. “48h”, “last-ever”, lowest-price and medical-outcome options need separate timing/claim checks; a preserved option is not an approved claim.

What prices and deadline are used?

The prior campaign proposal uses $297 once for lifetime, a $997 reference, $97 for annual year one then $157 renewal, and 3 December 2026 at 11:59 pm Pacific as the public cutoff. Limited primary-copy edits align stray $247/$48 and timing language to that proposal. TMA still must confirm the actual offer, reference, guarantee conditions and scope before sending.

How do we know this is converting better?

Track qualified replies, assessment completions, relevant guide/story clicks, confirmed affiliate purchases and revenue per delivered email. Keep refund, unsubscribe and complaint guardrails. Test one lever at a time; opens and historical clicks do not prove incremental sales.

Is this ready to schedule automatically?

No. Copy and navigation are complete; this local document does not connect an ESP or approve claims. Complete campaign/identity/link/media/ESP approval first. No live source was changed and nothing was sent.

Conversion Review and Final Send Check

  • Fidelity: compare original-body fingerprints and all source subject arrays.
  • One job: a relevant action for the reader’s current belief; no premature purchase ask in newly written education.
  • Clarity: one recommended version, exact date/time, route, copy and source notes at every slot.
  • Truth: historical medical, AI sensing, price, member-count, guarantee and last-ever claims remain unverified unless separately approved.
  • Delivery: correct author, attribution, CTA destinations, source secondary links, images, merge tags, buyer suppression, frequency, disclosure, sender address and unsubscribe.
  • Measurement: randomise subject tests within comparable audiences; judge downstream actions and purchases, not curiosity alone.

Independent direct-response and strategy review records accompany the local authoring package. Editorial and technical QA do not certify ESP delivery, affiliate attribution or a conversion lift.
