Your first email is the hardest one

Hi there! I'm Justin, the CEO of Buttondown. You signed up a couple of days ago and haven't sent anything yet, which is normal: the first email is the hard part.

It doesn't have to be good. Send a short note to yourself, or a two-line hello to whoever is already on your list. Everything after that is easier.

### [Write your first email](https://buttondown.com/emails/new)

If you're stuck on something, or you want us to **migrate** your list from another platform, hit reply. A human answers within one business day.

And if you've picked a different tool, tell me that too. It helps more than you'd think.
