How to Turn Your Newsletter Subscribers into Superfans

Let’s be honest, writing newsletters is one of those tasks that sounds easy until you actually sit down to do it. You think, “I’ll just write a quick email, hit send, and watch the magic happen.” But then you’re staring at a blank screen, wondering if you should start with a joke, a question, or just give up and send a GIF of a cat typing on a keyboard.

If you’re a parentpreneur, the struggle is even worse. You’re not just writing emails you’re doing it while someone is yelling, “I NEED A SNACK!” and your toddler is trying to use your laptop as a trampoline. But don’t worry, you’ve got this. With a little effort (and maybe a lot of coffee), you can turn your subscribers into loyal fans who can’t wait to open your emails.

Here’s how.

First, make your emails easy to read. Nobody has time to read a novel in their inbox. Keep your paragraphs short, use bullet points, and break up your text with images or headers. And don’t forget to include a clear call-to-action. Whether it’s “Click here to shop now” or “Reply to this email with your thoughts,” make it easy for your subscribers to take the next step.

Second, write like you’re talking to a friend. Nobody wants to read an email that sounds like it was written by a robot. Be conversational, be relatable, and don’t be afraid to show your personality. If you’re funny, be funny. If you’re sarcastic, be sarcastic. Just make sure your tone matches your brand. And whatever you do, don’t use phrases like “Dear Valued Customer.” Unless you want your email to go straight to the trash.

Third, give your subscribers something they can’t get anywhere else. Whether it’s exclusive content, behind-the-scenes updates, or special discounts, make your subscribers feel like they’re part of an inner circle. People love feeling special, and they’ll keep opening your emails if they know they’re getting something valuable.

Fourth, listen to your subscribers. Pay attention to what they’re clicking on, what they’re replying to, and what they’re ignoring. Use that information to improve your emails and give your subscribers more of what they want. And if you’re not sure what they want, just ask. A simple survey or poll can go a long way.

Fifth, be consistent. Whether you’re sending emails once a week or once a month, stick to a schedule. Consistency builds trust, and trust is what turns subscribers into fans. Just don’t overdo it. Nobody wants to hear from you every day unless you’re giving away free coffee, in which case, email away.

Sixth, make your subject lines impossible to ignore. Your subject line is like the headline of a tabloid magazine it needs to grab attention and make people want to know more. But instead of “Celebrity Caught in Scandal!” you’re going for something like, “5 Secrets to Save Time as a Parentpreneur” or “Why Your Morning Coffee Deserves a Standing Ovation.” The goal is to make your subscribers curious enough to click.

↳ Write subject lines that make people curious enough to click.
 ↳ Be conversational and relatable nobody likes a robotic email.
 ↳ Offer exclusive content or perks to make subscribers feel special.
 ↳ Keep your emails short, sweet, and easy to read.
 ↳ Stick to a consistent schedule to build trust.
 ↳ Pay attention to what your subscribers want and give it to them.
