đź“© How to Write Emails So Good, People Have to Open Them

You ever send an email, and it feels like you just screamed into the void?

Yeah, me too.

Until I figured out a simple trick that made my emails impossible to ignore. Now, instead of crickets, I get replies like:

  • “Damn, this subject line got me.”

  • “I don’t even like emails, but I read yours.”

  • “I was about to delete this, but then I got curious…”

Want that for your emails? Let’s make it happen.

🚀 The 3 Rules of Emails That Actually Get Opened

âś… 1. Subject Lines = The First Battle
If they don’t open, you don’t sell. A boring subject line = instant delete.

🔥 Steal these high-performing subject lines:

  • “You’re doing this email thing all wrong”

  • “I wasn’t going to tell you this, but…”

  • “Big mistake. Huge.” (yes, a Pretty Woman reference)

  • “Quick question (super important)”

  • “This made me $10,293 in 3 days”

📌 Lesson: Curiosity + urgency = open rates go up.

âś… 2. Short Emails Win (Cut the Fluff)
Nobody has time for your life story. People skim emails, so make them punchy.

📌 Example:

Bad email:
"Hey [name], I hope you’re doing well. Just checking in to see if you’d be interested in our new product that we’ve been working on for months. Let me know what you think!"

Good email:
"Yo [name]—we launched something new. People love it. Thought you might too. Check it out → [link]"

📌 Lesson: Get to the point. Fast.

âś… 3. Make It Feel Like a 1-on-1 Text
The best newsletters feel personal, not corporate. Write like you're texting a friend.

📌 Example:

  • Use “you” and “I”

  • Ask questions

  • Sound human

Bad: â€śOur team is excited to introduce…”
Good: â€śThis is wild—you gotta see it.”

📌 Lesson: If your email sounds like a press release, rewrite it.
