Cold Email Tip #1
Know something about the person you're emailing.
Everyone's heard the job interview version of this tip: Always research the company where you're interviewing. The same applies when sending a cold email, so make sure you know the recipient's job title, what she does in her position and a little bit about her background.
If you have something in common, highlight that connection (e.g., "I also came to journalism from the publishing industry").
Cold Email Tip #2
Make the Subject Line Standout
If you're cold-emailing someone, it's likely that person is busy and receives numerous emails per day, including other cold emails. Your subject line must get their attention.
“5 Reasons I Should Be Your Next [insert job title]”
Cold Email Tip #2
More
“I am the [job title] you seek”
“Your new [job title] is inside this email”
“I will solve your [sales] problems”
Cold Email Tip #3
When Possible, Show the Work
Send a writing sample, link to your website, write a business plan for the position...
Cold Email Tip #4
Proofread and follow up.
