Email Copywriting Guide: What Actually Makes an Email Convert

Email Copywriting Guide

Most email copy fails for a boring reason. A subject line, a body, and a CTA are three different persuasion problems, each aimed at a reader in a different mental state.

Your cold email can be perfectly authenticated, properly warmed up, and sent at a textbook-safe volume. It can still land in spam if the list behind it is dirty.

Abandoned Cart Email: The Complete Guide to Sequences, Copy, and the Emails That Never Arrive

Abandoned Cart Email

Every guide to abandoned cart email opens with the same statistic: most online shoppers add something to a cart and never buy it.

Spam Complaint Rate: Your ESP Says One Number, Google’s 0.1% Threshold Says Another

Spam Complaint Rate

Two senders can have the exact same 43 spam complaints this month and walk away with two different verdicts about their standing. One reads their spam complaint rate as 0.09%, comfortably under Google’s 0.1% target. The other reads the same 43 complaints as 0.10%, sitting right on the line.

Double Opt-In vs Single Opt-In

Every guide to double opt-in vs single opt-in repeats the same two claims: single opt-in grows your list faster, and double opt-in protects it better. The first claim holds up. The second one doesn’t, at least not the way people usually argue it. Ask what double opt-in actually protects you against, and most articles point … Read more
