Visit my website @___________ for more information.
Be sure to State: What…you want the reader to do!

On the Website: Complete the Sale, Overcome Objections and

Build the Value of your offer with Details and Benefits.

Always Generate Excitement and Curiosity with your Benefits.

Do your Selling on the Website, not in the email you send.

“Hypnotize the Reader”

Grab their Attention with Compelling Benefits.

Use informal speech, vocabulary at the 6th grade level

and use their first name.

When you finish writing, set the copy aside, and come

back to it in an hour or so!

Then, you scan it to see how EASY it is to read Quickly.

(10 seconds) It must Grab your attention in 10 seconds and

cause you to want to read MORE!

If it doesn’t GRAB your attention and cause you to want to

Learn More…Rewrite the copy with the Main Benefits, and

be sure to Convince your reader to TAKE ACTION!

Now, the most IMPORTANT part of your Email!

The Subject Line.

You should not use more than about 50 characters in a

Subject Line.

If you can use 35 to 40 characters, you will have a better

chance of the email being opened.

There is even more likelihood of opens when you use their

First Name in the Subject Line and keep the email short and

to the point.

Remember you will be doing your SELLING on your

Website!

Always relate the Subject Line to the Content of the

Email message.

If you can’t grab them with your Subject Line…they

won’t open your Email.  No Opens = No Sales!

Simple as that.

Make the Subject Line Affect them Personally, because you

MUST make the reader WANT to read your message.

Don’t let the BEST Part of a Subject Line be “cut off” – four

or five words, including their first name is a good limit for

your Subject Line.

 

The reader may ask ….

What’s In It For Me

or

So What?

or

Why should I open this Email?

So, be sure to have the answers in the Email or on your Website.

Good Email Copy will…

1. Make an Announcement/News,
2. Leave some Curiosity,
3. Have a sense of Urgency,
4. Show the Biggest Benefits (Save Money or Time).

The Key to your Email is…How will they benefit from reading,

What will they learn, will it save them time or money, and

How will it Improve their LIVES.

Always relate your Subject Lines to your  message Content.

Write compelling Subject Lines so people will WANT to

Open and Read your Email. Don’t forget to Personalize with

their first name.

Do Share News, Add Curiosity and a sense of Urgency and

show your Biggest Benefits!

Let me know what You are thinking!
