20 Content Ideas For Your Email Newsletter

Recently, I’ve been more vocal about encouraging my clients to send more emails.

Before you freak out, I’m not saying you should email your list every day like I do (but hey, imagine what that would do for your bottom line!). But even going from 1 email per week to 2 emails per week will build loyalty, keep you top of mind, and increase sales.

I’m dumbfounded when people ask me, “Sage, what’s your secret for getting consistent daily sales?”

The answer: I send daily emails! This isn’t rocket science, dude. 

We’re having a fascinating conversation in my client-only Facebook group, the Life Editor Awesome Party (LEAP!), about what to put in those daily emails.

Psst! Purchase anything on my Everything Page to get an invite to our group.

So, let’s have some fun with things to write about in your emails when you just don’t know what to say.

A Word About Selling In Your Emails

Some of my followers feel fine sending daily emails with interesting strategies, but they draw the line at actually promoting something for sale in every email.

To that, I say, “Come on, man! Do you run a business or not?” 

You are 100% allowed to promote your paid products and offers IN EVERY EMAIL. 

  • We run businesses!
  • This isn’t playtime.
  • This is how we pay rent and buy food to eat.

No one would ask Starbucks or Target or any other business not to promote something for sale in every email.

Businesses must earn money, and if you’re not getting paid every day, then you’re just spinning your wheels with an expensive hobby. Mic drop. 

I want you to succeed, and having more income gives you more choices, Life Editor.
