5 Stupid Simple Email Tweaks to Make More Money This Week

Yo, email marketing is the OG moneymaker that still PRINTS in 2025. But most people are doing the same boring sh*t that gets lost in the inbox abyss.

Let me drop 5 brain-dead simple tweaks that you can implement TODAY to start seeing more opens, clicks, and most importantly – cash in the bank.

1. Change Your "Send From" to the Founder's Name

This is so simple it's ridiculous. Instead of sending from "Company XYZ" or worse, "[email protected]" – use the founder's actual name.

Why it works: It breaks the pattern interrupt of what everyone else is doing. Your email doesn't look like marketing – it looks like a personal message from someone important.

Implementation: Takes literally 2 minutes to change in your ESP settings. Do it right now.

2. Send a Plain Text Email with Real Company Updates

Kill the fancy HTML templates occasionally and just send something that looks like you typed it up for your mom.

"Hey, just wanted to let you know we're working on XYZ this week. Had a breakthrough yesterday that I'm pumped about..."

Why it works: Feels authentic as hell. Gets people invested in your journey, not just your products.

Implementation: Write it like you're messaging a friend. Include real wins, real struggles, real updates.

3. Test Subject Lines That Sound Like They're From a Friend

Instead of "LAST CHANCE: 50% OFF EVERYTHING!" try something like:

"quick question about your [problem]" "did you see this yet?" "thoughts on this?"

Why it works: People are programmed to open emails that feel like personal communication, not marketing blasts.

Implementation: Draft 3-5 subject lines that mimic how real humans talk to each other, then test which ones get the highest open rates.

4. Add a P.S. with a Stupid Simple Question

End every email with a P.S. that asks one simple question that requires minimal effort to respond to.

"P.S. Reply with a 👍 if this was helpful" "P.S. Which would you rather see next: A or B?"

Why it works: Small engagement leads to bigger engagement. Plus, it trains the email algorithms that your stuff is worth prioritizing.

Implementation: Just tack it onto the end of your emails – takes 10 seconds but dramatically increases reply rates.

5. Send a "Second Chance" Email to Non-Openers

This is the laziest money you'll ever make. Take the EXACT same email you just sent, change only the subject line, and send it again 3 days later ONLY to people who didn't open the first one.

Why it works: Different day, different mindset, different inbox position. Plus, you've already written the damn email!

Implementation: Most ESPs have this as a built-in feature. Set it up once, and let it run on autopilot.

Bonus Tip: Time Your Sends to Break Pattern

Everybody's blasting emails at 9am. Try sending at weird times like 2:37pm on a Tuesday or 6:51am on a Thursday.

Why it works: Less competition in the inbox means higher chance of getting noticed. Plus, the oddly specific time makes it feel more intentional and less automated.

Listen, none of these require you to learn fancy coding or write long copy. You could implement all 5 of these TODAY and start seeing results by the weekend.

Get after it and make that money. Your inbox is a goldmine if you know how to work it.
