If you want an attention-grabbing hook to your emails, start writing them through the lens of these 7 areas:
Personal Development
Personal Finance
Insights/Thinking
Leadership
Case Study/Allegory
Functional Excellence
Relationships
And it works regardless of what you do, who you serve, what you sell or where you operate.
How do I know?
Well, in an email sent by Nicolas Cole, author of Snow Leopard: How Legendary Writers Create A Category Of One…
He said that “almost all of the Top 444 best-selling business books of the past 20 years can be organised into those 7 buckets.”
Nicolas Cole is a prolific online content creator who talks about making a living writing online.
He knows a thing or two about what people want to read.
So, if these are what humans want to read, let’s play to their interests.
I figured the same theory works for email subject lines, hooks and blog posts.
Let’s try it out:
Personal Development - How to write high-converting sales emails in 2 hours
Personal Finance - Why hiring a copywriter will lose you money
Insights/Thinking - 7 attention-grabbing topics for any kind of content
Leadership - Why I think email marketing is the best way to drive more sales
Case Study/Allegory - I helped my client get $77k from just one email. Here’s what I did.
Functional Excellence - How to be your customer’s #1 choice, without spending on ads
Relationships - I cried for the first time this year. Here’s what happened.
Not perfect, of course.
But definitely a good starting point to generate more ideas.
Give it a try and let me know how it goes.
