Where I work, most the emails are between coworkers. One of 'em I'm good buddies with. Sometimes we harass eachother.
"I hope this email finds you before I do."
Instead of cold emails, I get to sit at a table at Carillon Park for 8 hours and attempt to hand out flyers. Maybe I'll see a whole 10 people in that time frame. Gotta love government planning! Very cost effective :)
If I ever have to do cold emails, I'm using your techniques!!
This is very good advice, and this is a totally unsolicited comment. Before retiring, I had a successful career in Sales and Marketing for over 30 years. It got to where I could quickly sense and 'smell' ineptness as well as competency. Communicating well and connecting with people is an art - and it's everything. I will simply say that Emma Nelson knows of what she speaks.
Thanks for your comment, Jim! I get tons of cold emails each week that miss all of these points, and I wanted to ensure the freelancing/ghostwriting community had some good tips for finding new clients through cold emailing.

🤣🤣 Thanks Sam. I love that you read all my posts even if they’re not applicable to you today. Means a lot to me!
Of course!!
You should do a special on powerpoints and or codified federal regulations (CFRs). I can help!! Lol
HA! If that was what my newsletter aimed at, I’d be all for it
I'm just messing with ya! A big part of why I enjoy your work is precisely because its not powerpoints and CFRs 😂
Hahah "powerpoint is boring," amiright?
Good insight 😌 Can i translate part of this article into Spanish with links to you and a description of your newsletter?
I would be honored! Thank you so much for sharing. I can’t wait to read what you put together… Puedo leer español :)
Genial que puedas leer en español, así me dices si quieres cambiar o añadir algo a la traducción:
