Ep 199: How to Write Marketing Emails People Want to Open & Read

In this episode, Gabe Cox is interviewing me on how to write emails people want to open and read. We’ll take you on a journey into the realm of email marketing, shedding light on the significance of open rates and the truth behind compelling subject lines. I'll share insights on how your identity as the sender and the history of your interactions can make or break whether your email gets opened. Building genuine relationships with your subscribers through top-notch content is absolutely crucial.

When it comes to crafting emails, my focus is on getting straight to the heart of the message and convincing your subscribers why it matters. I strongly advocate for the use of personal stories to add a relatable touch, making your communication feel authentic and less like a sales pitch. Consistency in your emails is a key player in maintaining those reader relationships and building trust over time.

In a surprising twist, I'll challenge the common belief that the subject line is everything. Instead, I argue that, as content creators, our real priority should be the substance of the email itself. I firmly believe that meaningful connections with readers stem from the actual content, transcending the initial allure of a catchy subject line. The big takeaway? In the world of email marketing, storytelling, authenticity, and consistent communication are the secrets to forging lasting connections.
