How to Get Your Emails in the “A” Pile
Create a conversation
Repeat who you are and what you do
Put the offer in the signature
Copy:
write to people no to a list
"from" should be your name
be trust worthy
present your self as how they want to see you... be on their side
keep it short
if it's long send them to an outside page or video where you can give them a bigger offer
consider doing "serial shorts" if the topic is long
create a unique voice
be careful with "templates"
don't be spammy
use curiosity
use emojis
