last week I published an e-mail with the subject line that said, “why people delete (and don’t even open) your e-mail”… and we received a lot of comments on it, both on my blog and on facebook, and here in the office.
and one of the most popular videos in my recent book launch series was called, “3 Most Common And Costly e-Mail Marketing Mistakes: Which One Of Them Are You Making Right Now?”
people spent more time on this page than any of the other launch pages.
e-mail marketing, and it seems communicating via e-mail in general, is a subject people want more information on.
so let me give you another e-mail writing tip that’s going to help you quite a bit. lots of people are confused about “how much” to write or “how long” your e-mail should be.
let me clear this up for you, because the answer is simple: you should write enough to be interesting, and frankly… if what you’re saying is interesting, there really is no “limit’ on how much you can say.
the problems start once you start becoming boring. No one’s going to sit and listen to someone who’s boring them — in person, in an e-mail, or on television. boring is bad regardless what media you’re using.
make sense?
now if you’re super anal-retentive and you’re just not going to sleep at night unless you have a formula to follow, then listen… and listen good. do this: write somewhere between 200 and 250 words and you’ll be good to go. if you can say more (or less) and still be entertaining, then that’s ok… but you won’t go wrong with this formula, one way or another.
o.k.?
oh, and by the way, inside Chapter 7 of “How To Make Maximum Money With Minimum Customers,” you get 4 simple resources to use that offer you an unlimited and easy to use source of information for your e-mails, (on page 97), along with all the different topics you can write about — regardless of what kind of information your “core” audience came to you for.
