We know you have tons of things competing for your attention that make it hard to spend focused time writing to your audience. One of our main goals with our writing tools is to keep you focused and consistently creating.

That’s why we’re releasing an update to the message editor that will help keep you in your writing zone when you want to add content or style text in your message.

Typing “/” on an empty line will let you add elements and set text styles right from your keyboard.

This menu is great — I like that I don't actually have to drag things into my email. - Johann

This is a short update today because it’s as simple as that. Just type “/” and get creating.

If you have ideas for things you wish were in the menu to save you time, just reply to this message and let me know what they are. I’ll be reading all the replies that come in.

Updates

• Add elements to your message right from your keyboard by typing “/” on an empty line. Add:
  • Image
  • Video
  • Button
  • Divider
• Set the paragraph style of a new line by typing “/”. Text styles include:
  • Headings
  • Bulleted lists.
  • Numbered lists.
  • Blockquotes
• This is also how you’ll access the AI writing tool we’re building. If you’re interested in testing that feature before anyone else, sign up for the waitlist.

You can learn more about the improvements on the blog.

None of these improvements would’ve been made without feedback from people like you who use AWeber to connect with your audience.

Thanks for being part of building the best tool for email marketing and thanks for trusting AWeber with your business.

Now get in that flow state and write something wonderful.
