#2. Emphasize Benefits, Not Features

People are looking for benefits, not features. A feature is "what" your product provides, while a benefit explains how it "helps" people and makes their life easier.

If you explain how your product saves time, money, or energy, you're giving a benefit... and that's what makes your message sell!

#3. Write a Killer Subject Line

People first read subject of your message and only if it's interesting and makes them curious, they will open your message and read it. So it's very important that you write an effective subject line, or people won't open your message at all.

Wish you success!
