We all know that emails are a big part of our lives, but sometimes it's easy to get caught up in writing the perfect email.

Here are some tips on how to write an email that gets opened, read, and clicked:

1. Keep it concise. A good rule of thumb is to keep your emails under one screenful at a time (like 500 words or less). This will make them easier to read and digest.

2. Use emojis wisely. People can't read body language or tone over text, so make sure that you include appropriate emojis for each recipient.

3. Ask for feedback! When you ask for feedback from your recipients, they'll feel more connected to your brand and more likely to open your emails over time because they feel like you care about their needs as well as yours.

4. Be timely and relevant! Make sure that you're sending content that relates directly back to what people want or need so they don't feel like they're being sent unnecessary information or spam. they'll be much more likely to open it if it seems relevant!

5. Keep it short and sweet.

6. Don't start talking about the person you're emailing, but instead show who you are and what you want to discuss.

7. Keep your sentences simple, so people can understand them easily.

8. Use action words instead of passive verbs, like "was," "are," or "wasn't."

9. Use active voice, not passive voice. the active version is more direct and to the point!

10. Be specific when talking about what you want from someone else; name names!

11. Don't use slang unless it's appropriate for your audience that means no hipster-speak!
