Why Use a Welcome Email Template?

One of the most valuable assets of any business is its email list. In fact, 100% of Backlinko’s revenue comes from selling things to our email subscribers.

Building a large email list is nice and all. But your email is 100x more valuable when you use it to build relationships with your subscribers.And the first impression you’ll make in that relationship is from your welcome email.

Make a good impression, and that subscriber is more likely to open (and click through) your future emails. Make a bad impression, and there’s a good chance they’ll unsubscribe or ignore your emails.

Your welcome email is your chance to make people excited to get more of your emails. Normally, that’s hard to do. (Who wants more emails?) But this template will make it a LOT easier.

How to Get the Most From Your Email List

The welcome email is probably the single most important email you can send to your list. But remember, it’s just the start of a long relationship. Follow these tips to turn your email list into a strong source of revenue for your business.

  • Follow this email list building guide to help increase your list size dramatically. (For example, you can get subscribers by adding a form or two to your site’s about page)
  • If you use a confirmation email (or “double opt-in”), link the confirmation button to a thank-you page with more information and an additional call-to-action. For example, a CTA to share your work or follow you on social media.
  • Avoid “spam words” that can make your email get caught up in spam filters. For example, “Be your own boss”, ”100% free”, and “Incredible deal”.
