You're one step away from kissing bye-bye to the 'I have nothing interesting to say' block... FOREVER.
Here's what is waiting for you on the other side of this page:✅ 3 "fill-in-the-blank" emails that will have subscribers reading, replying, and clicking to buy your book (irrespective of what GENRE you write in)✅ 12 ready-to-go subject lines that will stand out in busy inboxes and be almost IMPOSSIBLE to ignore✅ The psychological reasons behind why these emails work (hint: it has nothing to do with giving stuff away for free)✅ Ongoing daily emails that teach you the "fun way" to write newsletters that actually get read, clicked, and bought from — WITHOUT ever coming off as dry, spammy, salesy, or having to write 500-word "WIP updates" or share pics of your cat sprawled out on a cluttered desk (unless, of course, that's your thing 😉)✅ And much more...
Who the hell am I, and why should you listen to a word I have to say?
Greetings, fellow storyteller.I'm Daniel (also known as Dan and occasionally Zeus after a few too many Jack Daniel's), and yes, I am acutely aware I used the word "fellow."Like you, I am also a fiction author, unlike 90% of the people marketing to you.I first published a new adult romance novella series back in 2014 (don't ask me why I chose this genre as a young 20-something chap) before moving on to supernatural thrillers. After two writing hiatuses, I later found my home in fantasy, where I have since stayed.I say this because I know too well the marketing frustrations authors face.If it isn't Facebook ads, it's Amazon ads.If it isn't TikTok, it's Instagram.But there's one thing that always came easily to me:
In 2018, I decided to get serious about acquiring the skills of email marketing and copywriting. I spent many thousands on courses, books, and mentorships until I was able to sell my freelance services to online businesses.It was a cool experience and a skill I have been using every day since.But here's the thing:Most fiction author newsletters are drier than Gandhi's flip-flop.And just to make sure they never get read, many are bloated with images, book covers, author logos, and enough shiny buttons to rival Vegas.No wonder authors hate writing 'em.
You're a writer — not a graphic designer.
Even though the word "newsletter" is mentioned several times on this page (for marketing purposes), the first tip I want to impart is to DITCH the term altogether.For starters, "newsletters" are done to death.Every author and their cat has one, but nobody is doing them correctly - thus repelling new readers from subscribing.Lastly, nobody wants "news" or "letters." It screams: BORING.What they want are short, entertaining emails that are easy to consume and fun to read. And before you exhale what you had for lunch, no...You do not need to suddenly channel your inner Jerry Seinfeld or Dave Chappelle.Nor do you need to write an ongoing fictional serial.I'm talking about turning mundane everyday stories, thoughts, and opinions into riveting emails that turn lukewarm readers into gushing fans.The type of emails I not only teach... but use myself:
These are REAL replies by REAL subscribers of my pen name.I could go on and on, but the nuts and bolts is this:
I don't follow the status quo, and neither should you.
If you're willing to learn my introvert-friendly ways and are ready to turn your mailing list into a reliable and effective marketing machine that serves you for years and decades to come (unlike social media and costly ads)...... then plug in your primary email address below:
If you've reached the bottom of this page and still have doubts about getting my daily emails and templates, then I encourage you NOT to subscribe.This is for serious authors who already have an email list and want to kickstart a consistent writing habit.- Daniel
