Ep 69: Stop Writing the Same Emails Over and Over - A Freelancer's Guide to Email Templates

from The Freelance Shift · host Jennifer F

The Freelance Shift Stop Writing the Same Emails Over and Over -A Freelancer's Guide to Email Templates https://thefreelanceshift.comAs a freelancer, you're probably spending way too much time writing the same emails over and over—proposals, status updates, polite declines—rewriting from scratch what you've already written dozens of times. I used to waste 10-15 minutes per email, which added up to nearly an hour a week, but now I have a template library that lets me customize and send those same emails in 30 seconds, saving me about 3+ hours every month. In this post, I'll show you how to build your own template library, share ready-to-use examples for common freelancer scenarios (inquiry responses, polite declines, status updates, invoices), explain the best tools for managing templates (Gmail features, TextExpander, simple Google Docs), and give you tips for customizing them so they don't feel robotic—because this isn't about being lazy, it's about being efficient with tasks that don't need custom creativity every time.Text Expander: https://textexpander.com/aText: https://www.trankynam.com/atext/Streak.com: https://www.streak.com/Gmelius: https://gmelius.com/Notion: https://www.notion.com/
