I've seen & written tens of thousands of emails in my life,
And generated $50M+ for my clients through email marketing.
Here are 6 Commandments of Email that should never be broken👇
#1. Get attention in the subject line
Consumers get more emails than ever before.
You're not just competing with other brands...
...you're competing with other brands AND their personal emails.
(not only that, but other online forms of communication like social media)
So if you're not grabbing attention with your subject line?
Your emails are more likely to be lost in the inbox.

#2. Use intrigue in the preview text
The preview text is almost as important as your subject line.
If your subject line captures your subscribers attention?
The preview text should then sell the click.
Use your preview text to tease the content/value of inside the email body.
#3. Focus on one idea only
Copywriting 101:
Focus on ONE big idea.
Especially with email, you don't have space to say 10 different things...
Your message will turn out weak.
Instead,
Make your email all about one idea only - and nothing else.
