Writing emails can be challenging.
Face it.
You’ve already got 100 things to do as a digital marketer:
- Build your list of subscribers.
- Create and market your offers.
- Shoot, edit, cut, and upload videos.
- Test and tweak your landing pages and squeeze pages.
And obviously a ton more things.
However.
Creating high-converting emails that get the click shouldn’t be as challenging as many make it out to be.
So in this article?
I’m going to show you how to fly through the process of crafting killer emails.
Be sure to keep reading on to see how.
The Ultimate Email Marketing Template
It’s easy to remember too, as I like to refer to it as the A5 formula.
Here is what comes along with this formula:
- Bring up anything that happened or is happening.
- Point out a feeling that accommodates their beliefs.
- Angle that feeling into the product you are promoting.
- Acknowledge something that your subscriber wants.
- Aspire their action.
What makes this template so great?
Is that you can talk about absolutely anything, and then angle it into your specific topic.
So allow me to break down each section while giving you an example to go along with it.
Anything
And when I say anything?
I really mean it.
- Did you struggle horribly when you first started off online?
- Did you get a batch of crazy serial refunders?
- Did you have your most profitable month?
- Did you do something crazy recently?
- Maybe you went traveling?
Whatever it is, this template allows you to be both creative and flexible at the same time.
So here is an example when it comes to writing an email about affiliate marketing.
This email will attack the angle of beginner woes.
Have you ever logged into your of your affiliate portals…
Only to see a bunch of $0.00 staring right back at you?
As you’ll soon notice more, each section doesn’t have to be a ton of words/sentences.
I also like making my sentences short and choppy…
As it makes it much easier to read (instead of having a wall of text).
Let’s move onto the next section now.
Accommodates
So whatever you mentioned previously?
- Would it annoyingly keep them up at night staring at the wall?
- What would they think about it?
- How would they feel?
- Is it a problem?
This is pretty much what you want to address in this next micro-section.
Here is the example email as continued from the previous section.
Maybe thought that making commissions would take forever…
Or even worse?
Maybe you thought that you’d never succeed with affiliate marketing.
So as you can see from the example above…
We are pointing out feelings that accommodate that they would feel from not seeing results.
This comes with knowing your targeted audience…
And it also helps, that in this case, I used to be that person with those thoughts.
Next section.
Angle
Angle that feeling into the product you are promoting.
Now.
Keep in mind that you don’t always have to be promoting a product.
You can use this email template for:
- Sending to a blog post.
- Sending to a YouTube video.
- Sending to a webinar registration.
- Or anything else that you can think of.
Anywho.
The angle is simply a way to pivot from what was happening, to your topic of interest.
Here is an example.
Well I’m here to tell you that affiliate marketing isn’t as challenging as you make it.
In fact, it’s a lot simpler than you think…
And here is a perfect example to prove that exactly (this line would be a link).
So now that we know how our targeted audience is going to be thinking, we are going to pivot into where we would like them to click.
It’s a very simple transition.
Speaking of transition?
Let’s move to the next section.
Acknowledge
This section is pretty much another way of giving benefits to your readers.
When it comes to benefits?
You can often find some really juicy ones on sales letters in your niche.
- Think of what your subscribers both want and don’t want.
Here is an example of this section.
The best part is that there’s been plenty of success stories…
Especially of people who have started from square one (with almost nothing).
They did it without a lot of time, effort, money, or even experience.
Not only are these benefits…
But they are objection breakers (as they cover a lot of objections when it comes to getting started).
Because at the end of the day?
All of us (well, most of us) want to become a success story too.
Let’s move onto the last section.
Aspire
Aspire.
Inspire.
However you want to say it, this is a way to get them to take action (like click a link).
Here is an example.
So if you’re serious about making affiliate commisisons…
And you’re tired of being taunted by the $0.00 in your affiliate dashboard…
Simply click this link to get all of the details.
You’ll be glad you did.
Sign off.
Pretty simple stuff right.
So let’s wrap things up when it comes to this email marketing template.
Conclusion
So like I said previously, this template is extremely flexible.
- It doesn’t matter what topic you pick.
- It doesn’t matter what niche you’re in.
- Heck, it doesn’t matter what autoresponder you use.
This template will allow you to crank out emails that get the click in record time.
However.
You just need to know your target audience.
- What they want.
- What they don’t want.
- And everything in between.
Either way, I hope this helps you out when it comes to email marketing.
I will end with the complete email from start to beginning.
Enjoy!
