I’ll admit it…I often get stuck on email ideas to send to my subscriber lists, as well as email marketing ideas. It’s a challenge to come with an email marketing strategy that strikes the right balance of sending value frequently enough without overdoing it and annoying subscribers.
One solution I’ve set up here at WAHS is to have regular newsletter emails twice a week that includes jobs. While the jobs portion is easy to do, I still get stuck on email ideas I can send and email marketing ideas, especially to my other lists that don’t have a set schedule.
I’m a concrete person who likes checklists and so I decided I’d create a list of email ideas that I can refer to it whenever I’m stuck. Here are 30 ideas on what you can email your list beyond your welcome email.

Done-For-You Email and Templates
Want ideas or just a faster way to create your email? I love done-for-you content and PLR because it gives me a template and outline to work from. I have two resources that I use when I feel stuck on email.
Affiliate Marketing Master Swipe File: I grabbed this resource the minute I saw it because it not only gives you emails that you can use as your own, but also, it includes affiliate links. Just put your affiliate link in the email, and send to your list!! This resource was put together by Jim Daniels is one of the original Internet entrepreneurs. It’s only $17! It’s the best $17 I’ve spent this year.
