value of what you’re
offering and people will want

     recipients.
     There is a happy medium
     between educational and promotional
     content.

     Your job is to find it.
5.      Get Permission.
Waiting until someone
asks you to communicate
with them, makes your messages
more powerful and well-received

  Remember to keep important information
  above the fold.
6. Make it a no-brainer.
   Using one primary call-to-action reduces risk
   of confusion and keeps your main goal clear.
7. Exude Trust.
   If you convey the fact that people can
   trust what you’re going to do with their information,
   then people have more reason to give it to you.
8. Segment,
  segment,
  segment!

  Segmenting your audience helps
    your emails to be more
    relevant and targeted.

   People want to feel special.

   Your emails should make your
   recipients feel like you’re
   speaking to them,
   personally.
10.   Get
       Delivered.
      If your emails never arrive, how
      can your recipients convert?
11.
      Stay consistent.
      It’s important to ensure that the landing
      that your recipients arrive at is a natural
      progression from the email itself.
