8-30-2016, Forbes -- How did your bank account look when you woke up this morning?

Had your balance increased at all since you went to bed?

If you are like 99.99% of the population, the answer is probably a resounding “No!”

But what if you could change that?

What if I could teach you a simple and proven method to make income while you sleep?

That would be pretty cool right?

And it can be your reality if you learn how to leverage youremail list by writing emails that convert.

I thought so.

So without further ado, here are the steps that you need to take to write emails that convert.

1. Divide your list into categories

One of the first steps to ensuring that your emails convert is to ensure that they are getting sent to the right people.

This is especially pertinent if you have a company or blog that covers several different topics.

For example, if you run a personal growth company for men that covers dating, fitness, business, and spirituality, you needto segment your list into different categories.

You will have people on your list who joined for theentrepreneurship articles but are already married and don’t care about the dating articles.

Likewise, you will have successful entrepreneurs who want to improve their romantic life and couldn’t care less about your business content.

Dividing your list based on interests is key to ensuring that your emails get opened and the right promotions are sent to the right people.

The best way to segment your list is to create several different lead magnets specifically targeted at each category.

So using the example above, this would mean creating a different lead magnet for fitness, for dating, business, and spirituality.

If you can do this, your open rate will be significantly higher, you will retain subscribers for longer, and you will be able to target customers with products they care about.

2. Personalize emails

This step is pretty easy to do and very self explanatory.

It should always be your goal to make sure that your audience feels special.

Personalizing your emails will help accomplish this goal.

What’s even better is that almost 70% of businesses do not personalize their emails.
