👥 Step 1: Know Who You're Writing To
Before you write anything, ask yourself:
“Who is this email for?”
💡 Tips:
- Create buyer personas to define your audience.
- Use email list segments to group people based on their interests.
- Check tools like Google Analytics or your email platform to learn what your readers like.
The more you know your audience, the more personal your email will feel.
✉️ Step 2: Write a Subject Line That Gets Opened
The subject line is everything.
If it doesn’t grab attention, the rest won’t matter.
✅ Quick Tips:
- Keep it short (6–8 words).
- Create curiosity.
- Use names or questions.
Examples:
- “Did You Miss This Deal?”
- “Your Weekly Tips Are Here!”

📊 Always test at least two versions (A/B testing).
✍️ Step 3: Write Clear and Engaging Content
Now that they’ve opened your email—don’t waste their time.
📌 Keep it simple:
- Start with a strong hook (first 1–2 lines).
- Stick to one main idea per email.
- Use short paragraphs and bullet points.
- Add a strong call-to-action (CTA) like “Shop Now” or “Read More.”
🎯 Write like you’re talking to one person. Keep it friendly and helpful.
🖼️ Step 4: Make It Look Good
Design matters more than you think.
🧩 Design tips:
- Keep your layout clean and mobile-friendly.
- Use plenty of white space.
- Make sure your text is easy to scan.
