Sample email funnel written for The Barefoot Writer a series of four emails. EMAIL 1 Subject: Evict doubt and invite the writer s life in! Dear <name>, I always wanted to be a writer. But I knew writing novels and short stories didn t pay very well. At least not for most people. So when someone told me I could make a REAL living as a writing, I had doubts. Probably the same doubts you re having. Is it really possible to make a good living as a writer? Good enough that you don t have to live in your parents basement or worry every month about making ends meet or what your next meal will be? I get it. You ve heard that the only ways to end up with a lot of money are either luck or decades of work. Most of us don t have the luck to win the lottery make the perfect investment or inherit a lot of money. You re stuck with one option. Slaving at a job you often one you don t like for DECADES. But it doesn t have to be that way! I want you to kick your doubt out the door right now. Because you CAN make a good living as a writer. The same way many others have. Take Heather Robson. She and her husband quit their regular jobs to try freelancing. And she freely admits thinking, We re totally insane! Except this insane idea meant she replaced her income working only 20-25 hours per week! That left her enough time to homeschool her two daughters when they were young. Now they re older, and Heather works more. But still less than 40 hours. 1
Or consider Steve Coombs. He wasn t sure about writing as a way to support his wife and seven kids. He started slow, to ease into it and make sure it could work. Until he got laid off. Then he had to ignore any doubt and focus on making a living. To say he succeeded is an understatement! He makes enough now with his writing to support his whole family and still have time for fun. Plus, his schedule means he can be flexible about going to the beach on a whim. Or whatever else catches his fancy. But the best part is, he doesn t have to rush out the door anymore without time to hug his kids goodbye. Heather and Steve are only a couple of examples of the many writers who ve succeeded. But you or your family might still have doubts. How can you convince everyone that this opportunity is real? You can do it by joining the Barefoot Writer Club. Now, I m not saying that you ll succeed overnight. It does take a little time and practice. But when you become a Barefoot Writer, you ll have everything you need to convince the doubters.
