Email Writing Tips


I was watching a training video the other week that was on the subject of email writing. If you are anything like me writing headlines that people want to open is a big problem. Here are some mail writing tips that were discussed.

Use headlines that give people  facts like:  85% of successful email marketers use this tool. People will click to see what that tool is won’t they? I would.

You could try asking them a question in the headline or something we see a lot of is the fake reply, for example Re: That was so cool.

A free report is always good say you have an ebook on listbuilding try the title Download Now Free Listbuilding Report.

Remember these are only email writing ideas. It is just to get you thinking. It is up to you whether you use the ideas or not. I didn’t when I first watched the training but now that I have found the notes again I am going to try them out starting today.

6 email tips and tricks

  1. Adding the p.s. You could repeat your USP in your P.S.
  1. Short + to the point
  1. Send at specific times. The best time is 4.30 cst on Tuesday or Thursday because these days have proven to have higher open rates.
  1. Call to action link. Put link in intro, body + close
  1. Resend to unopened
  1. Follow up emails. The way to sell more is to continue to follow up with your subscribers after they have been added to your list. The more they hear from you the better. Once a day or every other day when promoting a product. It is also smart idea to continue to send an email on the affiliate product because you may reach a subscriber on the second broadcast that you didn’t catch it on the first. This increases your sales.
