Let’s be real.. most emails are boring.
They land in the inbox, say something neutral, and then quietly disappear, never to be opened again. And you wonder why your emails aren’t converting?
Here’s a hint: it’s because you’re trying to make everyone happy.
That ends now.
If you want your emails to stand out, make sales, and—let’s be honest—tick off a few people in the process, you need to master polarizing emails.
These aren’t the kind of emails that sit on the fence and play nice. Nope, they’re the ones that split your audience right down the middle.
You’re either with me, or you’re not.. and I’m totally fine with either.
What the Heck Are Polarizing Emails?
Polarizing emails are like shaking the tree and seeing who falls out.
They’re designed to make some people love you and others, well, hate you a little. Why? Because when you force people to take a side, you stop being ignored. And in a sea of inbox clutter, being ignored is your enemy.
Most marketers are terrified of offending anyone.
They’re stuck in this mindset of “I need to be liked by everyone.” And guess what? That means no one’s paying attention.
Polarizing emails work because they’re memorable.. and memorable emails drive clicks, sales, and real engagement.
Here’s What You’re Doing Wrong
Right now, your emails probably sound like this: “Hey there, just checking in to see if you’d like to learn more about my super interesting offer.” Snooze. You’ve just put your reader to sleep before they even get to the link.
Now imagine this instead: “Most affiliate programs are garbage. Here’s why this one’s different, and if you’re serious about making money, you’ll click this link. If not, no hard feelings.. but don’t expect any results.”
See the difference?
One’s trying to please everyone, while the other’s making people choose.
Polarizing emails take a stand, make bold claims, and don’t apologize for it.
Your goal isn’t to be liked—it’s to be remembered.
Why Being Vanilla is Killing Your Conversions
The problem with trying to appeal to everyone is that you end up appealing to no one.
Polarizing emails are the opposite of vanilla. They’re chocolate with chili flakes—bold, spicy, and unforgettable.
Sure, you’ll lose a few subscribers, but the ones who stick around? Those are your people.. the buyers, the ones who love what you stand for and are ready to pull the trigger.
So, next time you sit down to write an email, ask yourself: am I trying to make everyone like me?
If the answer is yes, stop. Because no one’s buying from someone they forget five minutes after reading their email.
Ready to Stir the Pot?
The next email you send shouldn’t blend in. It should make people feel something.
Love you, hate you.. whatever. As long as they’re not ignoring you.
Take a stand. Stop trying to be everyone’s friend, and start being their favorite—or their enemy.
Because that’s how you build a list of loyal buyers who can’t wait to see what you’re going to say next.
