Thank you, great post!
Everything I can add is a suggestion to keep paragraphs 3 lines max. People are too lazy to read big chunks of text
Best regards, Uncle Dimitry.
If itās good and relevant, they will read. That being said, I do stick to that and Iām not sure why the formatting didnāt stick here. Iāll fix it when Iām on my pc Hey, thanks for commenting Uncle D

Be yourself
There are millions of people sending emails. Most suck. Most are corporate, robot-like, soulless drivel. Be you. Be clearly you. And the people that resonate with you will stick! There's only one you. And when you apply that to your writing nobody can copy or beat you. You'll always be in the lead. So, just be yourself
Tell stories
Without getting all gimmicky. Stories are BIG. Thereās no better way to get someone engaged than a good story. You donāt have to be Spielberg to tell a good story. Just keep your eyes open for them and let it rip! Talk about your day, your kids, your boss, whatever you want. Just don't be boring.
Write to a friend
Donāt write to āthemā or āthey.ā Write your emails like youāre talking to ONE friend over a cup of coffee. Informal and personal is the name of the game. Edit later Then you can go back and clean it up later. Sometimes I donāt even re-read what I wrote. Want to churn out word after word? Edit laterā¦
Make an offer
Donāt listen to the fake gurus mantra of āvalue, value, valueā without ever asking for a sale. This aināt a charity friend. Unless you just want to write for fun or a hobbyā¦then by all meansā¦donāt make an offer. For meā¦thereās a relevant offer or call to action tucked at the bottom of every email. Not a pitch, mind youā¦but an opportunity to take the next step.
Rinse/repeat.
Take these carefully tested methods and profit from email.
You donāt have to be perfectā¦just keep getting better.
