We create newsletters from a self-centric point and need. Usually, to market our expertise as an expert, as a distribution channel for our products and services, or even make the newsletter the product itself.
The reader is seen as a necessity because to whom else you wanna sell? Right?
But that is only part of the truth. Besides just having people subscribed to your newsletter, you need them to open, read and take action on your emails.

The Magic Welcome Email is not a regular welcome email but an additional one with the specific purpose of learning more about the reader.
Where’s the difference? Regular welcome emails are a short guide and help to build trust. The reader gets to know you and what to expect from the newsletter. Sometimes, it’s also used to deliver the lead magnet.
The problem with welcome email is, people know it is automated, and they expect and ignore those emails now.

I’ve been writing newsletters for some years now, and I made all of the mistakes. And every time I overcame one, I got better results; more readers responding or quality answers.
One thing is for sure. If you don’t know what your readers want, you can only deliver value by luck. But let’s stop the intro-chit-chat and dive in.
