Let’s be real—there are days when you sit down to write an email, and your mind goes totally blank. You’ve got a list of subscribers waiting to hear from you, but your brain? Not giving you anything. 😅
First of all, don’t panic. We’ve all been there. The good news? You don’t need to write a masterpiece every time you send an email. Your audience just wants to hear from you—even if it’s something simple.
So, if you’re staring at a blank screen right now, let me help you with some easy, go-to ideas for what to write in your emails, even when you feel like you’ve got nothing to say.
1. Share a Quick Tip or Hack
You’re the expert in your niche, and your audience is following you because they trust you to know your stuff. So why not share a quick tip or hack that will make their life easier? It doesn’t have to be some huge game-changer—just a small, actionable piece of advice they can apply today.
Example: “Hey Girl,
Here’s a quick tip to make your morning routine so much easier: lay out your outfit the night before. It’s a total game-changer for cutting down that ‘what do I wear?’ stress in the morning!”
Simple, right? You’re offering value, and your audience will appreciate the easy win.
2. Tell a Personal Story
When you don’t know what to say, sometimes the best thing to do is tell a story. Your audience doesn’t want perfection—they want to know the real you. Whether it’s a funny moment, a challenge you faced, or a behind-the-scenes look at your business, sharing personal stories builds connection and trust.
Example: “Hey Girl,
I had one of those mornings today—spilled my coffee all over my desk and had to deal with the mess before I could even start my day. 🙈 But it reminded me of how important it is to stay organized (and have a backup coffee mug, ha!). Anyway, I thought I’d share because I know we’ve all been there!”
See? Super casual, relatable, and real. Your subscribers will love it, and it keeps your emails from feeling salesy or stiff.
3. Highlight a Product or Service (But Keep It Low-Key)
You don’t always have to go into full-on sales mode to promote something. If you’re stuck on what to write, use the email as an opportunity to casually mention a product or service you offer. Make it feel like a recommendation from a friend, not a hard sell.
Example: “BTW, if you’re looking for a simple way to keep your desk organized (without breaking the bank), check out this desk organizer I’ve been loving. It’s been saving me from my coffee spill disasters, haha!”
This way, you’re still showcasing a product, but it feels natural—like a conversation with a friend, not a sales pitch.
4. Ask a Question
When in doubt, ask your audience something. Not only does this help you keep the conversation going, but it also encourages engagement. Asking questions shows that you care about their opinion and want to hear from them.
Example: “I’d love to hear from you! What’s one thing you’re struggling with right now? Whether it’s organization, time management, or just staying motivated—let me know. I’d love to share some tips that have worked for me!”
This is a super simple way to get people to hit reply, and it opens the door for future email content based on their responses.
5. Share a Resource or Recommendation
One of the easiest things to write about is a resource or tool that’s helped you, and it’s a great way to provide value to your audience. Whether it’s a podcast you’re loving, a book you just finished, or a tool that’s made your workday easier, sharing recommendations is always a hit.
Example: “Hey Girl,
Just wanted to share a little something that’s been a game-changer for me: [Tool/Resource]. I’ve been using it for the past few weeks, and honestly, it’s been a lifesaver for [problem it solves]. Thought you might want to check it out too!”
Your audience will appreciate that you’re thinking of them and sharing something helpful. Plus, it’s a great way to fill an email when you’re stuck on content ideas.
