This is assuming you have either: a) your own list and offers to sell b) a client's list and offers to sell At the end of every email you should also be giving people an opportunity to buy your product/service. Grab a pen and lets's roll.

1/ Hero's Journey. Share your story of zero to hero. How you started and got to where you are now. You don't need to share your whole life story. Keep it relevant to what the reader is there for.

5/ Bust an assumption. People have all kinds of assumptions on what they need to do to achieve the result your product promises. For example, "I need a ton of upfront capital to start." These assumptions hold them back from buying. So take one of them and bust it.

6/ Answer a FAQ. This one is stupid easy and one of my personal favorites. It’s also one of my best sales generators. Take a FAQ your audience has before buying and answer it in an email.

13/ Horror story. Find a horror story about someone who didn't use your product and share what happened. For example when I sold supplements I wrote emails about competitor products w/shitty ingredients. A customer complained about having loose stools for a month.

14/ Reveal shady practices in your industry. Things your competitors do that you do NOT do. Maybe it’s the way they promote their products. Or the way they use poor quality materials. Or use false claims. This will be different for every industry but you get the picture.

15/ Childhood story that relates to what you do. For example... I shared a story on how growing up known as the “cheap kid” motivated me to become my own boss. It motivated me to make more money so that my kids never have to be called a cheap ass like I was.

23/ 5 ways your life will be better. 5 ways the reader's life will be better once they buy your product. Make sure each one is tied to a desired outcome. No one buys to get 50 PDFs and 100 hours of content. They buy for the outcome.

25/ Bust a personal objection. What's an objection people have about themselves before buying? Write an email busting it and share why it could be an advantage. For example, "I can't be a copywriter because I wasn't a good writer growing up." Great. No bad habits to break.
