    I would suggest utilizing all three elements in each email. This way you'd have:

    1. A Story
    2. Lessons from the story
    3. A cliffhanger

    Here's a quick example of what I'm talking about:

    "I want to tell you a story. I once had a friend who was stuck in the cube farm, working 60 or more hours a week, and he was miserable. One day I sat down with him and..........etc etc

    That's when it finally clicked for him. He realized:

    1. Tip 1
    2. Tip 2
    3. Tip 3

    So he finally believed it was possible. He had to defeat those limiting beliefs first. Now his only problem was how to get started.

    I helped him with this too and in next week's email you're going to find out exactly what he did to start changing his life around. Watch your inbox on Wednesday! "

    Then the next email would have the same format. Story > Tips > Lead in until the cycle was finished.

      thanks guys.

      Can you do quick examples for the 'email marketing niche'
      specifically - squeeze page niche (optin pages) subniche of email marketing.

      for people having trouble with making effective squeeze pages, and not getting a high conversion rate for optins on them.

      can you give some examples of the above, for the above stated niche please.

        I can only give away so much valuable information for free, I'm sure you understand. I don't mind helping once in a while but I refuse to hold anyone's hand.

        If you're having that much trouble with it, just do what rich people do: Hire someone!
