“I Don’t Know What to Write” Is BS

It’s not that you’ve said everything already.
It’s that you’re trying to come up with something new…
…instead of spotting what’s already hiding in plain sight.

👉 Great emails generally don’t come from new “breakthroughs” in your product.
They come from big shifts in you message.

That’s what pros understand.
They don’t ask, “What new thing should I write about?”
They ask, “How can I reframe what I already know in a way that hits different?”

Your best angles aren’t out there waiting to be discovered.
They’re already in your head, you just need the tools to pull them out, reshape them, and deliver them with precision.

Let me show you how to do exactly that, on demand, anytime, even when your brain feels like sandpaper.

The Illusion of “Fresh Content”

Every marketer eventually hits this point:
You’ve written dozens, maybe hundreds, of emails.
You’ve told the origin story, highlighted the benefits, addressed the objections, even dropped a few fire analogies.

Then it hits you:
“What else is there to say?”

But here’s the truth most miss:
You don’t need a new product. You don’t even need a new insight.

What you need is a better way to frame the story.
A new entry point.
A more charged perspective.
A shift in energy that makes your reader stop and say, “Whoa. I haven’t heard it that way before.”

The Death Spiral of Chasing “Originality”

When you believe you’re out of ideas, you start reaching.
You write slower.
You second-guess every line.
You try to be clever instead of clear.

That’s how your emails start to drift, off-brand, off-message, off-mission.

Not because you’re bad at writing.
But because you’re trying to create from scratch instead of converting what you already know into a fresh frame.

You’re chasing originality when you should be engineering angles.

The Inbox Isn’t Forgiving

Your audience doesn’t give partial credit for effort.
They don’t owe you their attention.
They scan your subject line in half a second and think one thing:

If your emails feel like more of the same, vague advice, overused frameworks, predictable stories, they’re gone.

Not because you’re boring.
But because you haven’t reframed your message to interrupt their pattern.

That’s what great angles do.

So What’s the Move?

Forget finding “inspiration.”
Here’s what actually works:

Interpretation over invention.

Instead of hunting for brand-new ideas, take what you already know and ask:

• “What’s the real problem this solves?”

• “Who’s actually suffering from this and doesn’t know it yet?”

• “What would happen if they keep ignoring this?”

• “What belief needs to be broken before they’re ready to act?”

• “What’s the unspoken win no one talks about?”

Every one of those questions leads to a new email.
Every one opens a new door into the same offer.
This is how you write with consistency and fire, without sounding like a broken record.

Try This (Today)

Take one email or idea you’ve used before and run it through this filter:

• Tell it as a story

• Turn it into a warning

• Flip it into a myth to bust

• Frame it as a confession

• Pose it as a question they’ve never asked themselves

• Wrap it in an unexpected analogy

• Sharpen it into a controversial opinion

Each one forces a different frame.
Each one makes the same core idea feel new.

And that’s what writing emails is really about:
Not finding more things to say… but learning how to say the same things in more powerful ways.

Let’s Make This Practical

Here’s a simple drill you can repeat every week:

1. Grab one key benefit of your product.

2. Write it as a breakthrough, a fear, a desire, and a consequence.

3. Now shift the tone, try blunt, emotional, sarcastic, or hyper-logical.

You’ve now got 8 unique angles, without inventing anything new.

Do this with 3 benefits and suddenly you’re sitting on a full month of email hooks. No AI tools. No brainstorming agony. Just clarity and fire.

The Wrap-Up

If you’re staring at a blank screen thinking,
“I just don’t know what to write…”

The real issue isn’t idea fatigue.
It’s that no one ever taught you how to extract gold from what you already know.

The good news?
Once you learn how to reframe, you don’t just write more often, you write with more impact.

And the people who write with impact… sell more. Period.

Now, go pick one idea and bend it into something sharper.

You don’t need a spark. You’ve got the flame already.
Time to aim it.
