People buy from people.
Not funnels. Not hacks. Not bots.
So the first stage of the Freedom Funnel is simple: be human, fast. 🫶

Today I’ll help you write two quick “connect” emails.
No fluff. No drama.
Just warmth, trust, and tiny wins.

A designer I coach once had a fancy welcome flow.
Five emails. Many rules. Zero heart.

We cut it down to two notes.
Note one said hi, gave a quick win, and used her voice.
Note two told a small origin story and asked one tiny question.

Replies tripled.
Her DMs got kind.
Sales came later—soft, steady, clean.

The shift?
She stopped acting like a brand.
She wrote like a friend. ✍️

We write two emails:

·       Email 1: Welcome + quick win

·       Email 2: Origin story + micro-reply

Keep each under 250 words.
Short lines. Small words. Smile in the copy. 🙂

Make them feel seen. Help them win in 90 seconds.

·       Warm hello. Use their name if you can.

·       One-line promise of your newsletter.

·       Deliver the freebie in plain words (no gates).

·       Give one tiny tip they can do now.

·       Invite a light click.

·       “You’re here. I’m glad you made it.”

·       “I send one kind, useful email each week.”

·       “Here’s the resource you asked for. No hoops.”

·       “Quick win for today: try this one-line prompt…”

·       “If you like this, tap this link for the deeper version.”

·       A subject line that always lifts opens by a hair: “Quick Q:”

·       A 3-step fix for wall-of-text emails: line breaks, bullets, bold.

·       A 10-minute audit: delete the slow sentence in your first paragraph.

·       A reply starter: “Write like you talk. Then cut 20%.”

·       A soft CTA trick: “If helpful, write back with ‘more’.”

·       Don’t stack five links.

·       Don’t sell yet.

·       Don’t overshare. Warmth, not diary.

Show your why. Start a two-way loop.

·       One moment that shaped your work.

·       One lesson from that moment.

·       One line on how you help now.

·       One micro-question to tag intent.

·       One clear way to reply.

·       “What do you want most from your emails right now?”

·       “Pick one: Consistency, Sales, or Voice?”

·       “What would make email feel fun again?”

·       Tag based on the click.

·       Send a follow-up that helps that choice.

·       Keep notes on phrases they use.

“I almost quit email a few years ago.
I felt loud but not heard.
So I tried a new rule: write like I would to one friend.
It worked. People replied.
Now I help creatives do the same—write less, mean more.”

·       “PS: If you’re shy, just reply with one word: Voice, Sales, or Consistency. I’ll send the right resource.”

·       “You’re in. Here’s your tiny win.”

·       “A promise, a present, and a plan.”

·       “My short story + one quick Q?”

Keep them plain. Plain outsells cute. 🧠

Read each email out loud.
Ask: “Would I say this to a friend?”
If yes, ship it.
If no, cut the stiff words. Swap in small ones.

Trade these:

·       utilize → use

·       leverage → use

·       implement → try

·       roadmap → plan

·       optimize → improve

·       Too many links.
Fix: one link per email. Two max.

·       Selling too soon.
Fix: save offers for Invite week. We’re building trust today.

·       Wall of text.
Fix: short lines. White space. Bullets for three or more.

·       No reply prompt.
Fix: ask one micro-question. Give button tags for answers.

·       Write Email 1 with one quick win

·       Add first-name merge tag to greeting

·       Link the promised freebie (no hoops)

·       Draft Email 2 with one story, one question

·       Create three tag links: Voice / Sales / Consistency

·       Test both emails to yourself

·       Set a 1-day delay between them

·       Turn on resend to non-openers with new subject

Set a timer. Ship before it rings. ⏱️

Trust is built in small moments.
A name in the greeting.
A win in a minute.
A question that invites a reply.

Do that, and the rest of your funnel feels easy.
Sales come later. Connection comes now.

“First the hand, then the heart, then the offer.” 🤝

👉 Hit reply and tell me your micro-question for Email 2.
👉 Or just send one word—Voice, Sales, or Consistency—and I’ll send back a resource.
Save this issue. Star it. Share it with a friend who needs softer starts.
