I’ll give you two winning templates you can “steal” (one template was the topic of my post How to Craft the Perfect Cold Pitch where I shared lessons from my $10,400 cold email), show you how to get started with Mixmax in no time, and share a video of me sending that email. So, in this post, I’ll show you how you can too. I’m now able to send compelling cold emails in less than two minutes (you didn’t really think the title was clickbait, did you?).

With Mixmax I’m able to insert my cold emailing template directly from Gmail in a matter of seconds, without having to craft a mail from scratch and without having to copy and paste the template directly from notepad (yes, this was something I did in the past). What’s sped the process up, even more, is a nifty little tool that my friend Richard Rowlands introduced me to: Mixmax (by the way, I’m in no way affiliated to Mixmax, I just discovered a great tool and just thought I would share it with you guys) In fact, by using a template I’ve managed to create and send cold emails in record time (And no, my response rates haven’t suffered). Send an Email in a Flash with a Winning Template and Mixmax If the sole purpose of a cold email is to get a conversation going, then is it really necessary to spend lots of time crafting this email? Surely it’s better to have a killer cold emailing template that you work from and tweak in a few simple steps to speed up the entire process, right? Maybe it’s just to get on a call (I know that’s what many writers advocate and it’s something I’ve been attempting in the last few weeks by including a Calendly link at the bottom of my cold emails to encourage prospects to jump on a call.) Think about it for a second: What is the ultimate goal of your cold email? It’s invariably to get the attention of your prospect and get into a conversation about how you can help their business, and ultimately get a freelance writing gig. Why You Should Spend Less Time Creating Your Cold Email While I fully understand the reason for adjusting and personalising your pitch for each prospect, I don’t agree that you need to put a huge amount of effort into each email. And if you’re like many freelance writers and copywriters, you spend an awfully long time writing and perfecting these cold emails.Īfter all, you need to personalise these emails and adjust them to each and every prospect, right? Perhaps you mention a specific article you read on their blog in the intro? Maybe you even pitch a unique story idea to capture their attention?

So, you’ve finally built your prospect list, found the person to pitch to, and dug up their email address. It’s now time to send those cold emails.
