“WHAT WILL I GAIN IF I CLICK ON THIS�
LINK?” �

That’s what your reader is wondering and you need to answer it. Your email copy should make a promise that clicking on the links in the email will deliver a specific gain.
![Page 14: 4 Emotional Triggers that Increase Email Click-Through Rate](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051817/5484f1dab4af9fa00d8b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The following email was a part of our Facebook Ad Power launch:
Notice the use of both explicit and implicit promise to gain “clicks for pennies”.
![Page 15: 4 Emotional Triggers that Increase Email Click-Through Rate](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051817/5484f1dab4af9fa00d8b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Four of the five links in this email promise a gain by clicking on the link. The first three are more subtle while the fourth is a specifically stated promise that reads, “See EXACTLY how we get it: http://digitalmarketer.com/one-cent-clicks”

IT’S TRUE. PEOPLE BUY FOR EMOTIONAL
REASONS—BUT THEY JUSTIFY THE
PURCHASE WITH �LOGIC. �

If you’ve appealed successfully to a buyer’s emotional side, it’s time to give them something practical to justify the purchase.

A recent email from Ryan appeals to our logical side by mentioning the legendary Joe Polish.
![Page 21: 4 Emotional Triggers that Increase Email Click-Through Rate](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051817/5484f1dab4af9fa00d8b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Ryan pins the statement that “sales copy is the #1 way to multiply your business…” to a highly respected expert, Joe Polish, and states that you should know what Joe Polish knows.

PRETTY LOGICAL… � …RIGHT? �

Be careful with this one, but understand that fear is often more motivating than gain or logic.

Read this copy from Survival Life and notice the use of fear as a mechanism for inspiring action:

If you want to encourage action, your reader must understand what they will gain or what you will protect them from if they do take that action.
![Page 29: 4 Emotional Triggers that Increase Email Click-Through Rate](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051817/5484f1dab4af9fa00d8b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
BUT IT’S A FUNNY THING… IF THE READER FEELS THAT
THERE IS NO URGENCY TO TAKE ACTION NOW– OFTEN
THEY WON’T DO IT.�

In this email for Facebook AdPower, Ryan lets you know that the program is closing. If you don’t take action now, the gain you could have had will be gone.

TEST, TEST, TEST. �
![Page 33: 4 Emotional Triggers that Increase Email Click-Through Rate](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051817/5484f1dab4af9fa00d8b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
EXPERIMENT WITH ORDER �Try: GAIN > FEAR > LOGIC > SCARCITY Try: FEAR > LOGIC > GAIN > SCARCITY
![Page 34: 4 Emotional Triggers that Increase Email Click-Through Rate](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051817/5484f1dab4af9fa00d8b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Also, experiment with emails that focus on a single emotional trigger and others that combine more than one.
![Page 35: 4 Emotional Triggers that Increase Email Click-Through Rate](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051817/5484f1dab4af9fa00d8b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
A single sentence in your email might touch on gain, logic, and scarcity:
Until midnight tonight [SCARCITY] and for less than it costs to fill up your gas tank [LOGIC] you can learn how to negotiate thousands of dollars off of your next car
purchase. [GAIN]
![Page 36: 4 Emotional Triggers that Increase Email Click-Through Rate](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051817/5484f1dab4af9fa00d8b4d1f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The same sentence could be tested using fear instead of gain:
Until midnight tonight [SCARCITY] and for less than it costs to fill up your gas tank [LOGIC] you can learn to stop a used car
salesman from ripping you off. [FEAR]
