In the world of business, writing is often cold and impersonal. Contracts, job descriptions and other important documents require a great deal of formality. But when it comes to sales copy, that type of writing just doesn’t fly.

There after, when you have collected a sizable number of people’s emails in you list, you can slowly start to offer them your products and affiliate links, but again, don’t over do them.

Unless your subscribers open the email they can’t read and act upon all the goodies inside, right? What do your subject lines say to your readers?
