how to get research internships

i have heard a lot of people advising rising seniors to get research internships or jobs, by cold emailing professors. i am interested in the humanities and psych, so i am not really sure how to approach this and where to find these opportunities. i have applied to one part time job but i don't know how to email professors, does anyone have a format or a method to this? also, what exactly would these jobs entail and how can i best prepare for this
