Industry skills and certification are always important and if all you want is a back office desk job with no human interaction. But it is the extras that will get people hired faster and promoted quicker. or so. This is for emails you may be sending to a safelist. If you are emailing your regular mailing list, perhaps with you newsletter, then you can afford to follow the regular format, which may be quite long. This is because you newsletter subscribers generally know what to expect because they hopefully have read more than one edition. 6. ENTICE Your Readers to READ to the BOTTOM: If you want to send a longer than usual e-mail sales pitch, it’s good strategy to put a paragraph in, near the top, saying something like ‘If you read to the bottom of this email, you’ll find a great no cost download’. Teasers like this are very effective and may even prompt readers to immediately scroll down to the bottom to che An Awesome E-mail Keystroke Time Saver: SHIFT_Delete There’s an old saying ‘Manners maketh the man (or woman)’ and this still applies in the 21st Century, even though everything now seems to happen twice as fast.The great thing about leading programs on time management and personal organization all around the country is that I get to occasionally learn a few really good tips from the people that attend my programs. This is one of the best e-mail keystroke strategies that I have learned in some time. Accordingly, I have to give a big “thanks” to one of my recent course attendees, Nancy from Boston, for this wonderful e-mail suggestion. It is a very simple keystroke command that helps MS Outlook and other popular e-mail program users deal efficiently and ruthlessly with SPAM and junk e-mail in their inboxes.The tip is a simple tip to use whenever you receive a “junk” or “spam” e-mail i Most people respond much better if you treat them respectfully. People appreciate being spoken to politely and you can definitely include consumers here. Yes, if you are into Internet marketing, it may be a hi-tech world, where bits and bytes circle the globe in the blinking of an eye, but people still respond better to being spoken to as a friendly equal. This particularly goes for language in advertisements. Here are some important things to remember when you are emailing someone with a sales pitch. 1. DON’T YELL WITH CAPITALS: By all means use ‘caps’ in your message to highlight key points, but don’t write whole sentences in capitals. This is the online equivalent of screaming in someone’s ear. Bolding key points is a much better alternative to capitalizing. 2. Be TIDY With FORMATTING: I read a lot of sales emails every day, and it never ceases to amaze me how so many email ‘salespeople’ – perhaps we can call them ‘e-sellers’ - don’t bother to properly ‘dress up’ their email messages. There are many available email message formatting systems available, like Formatit.com, which you can use to make your emails presentable, and very likely, more profitable. Line breaks, you see, behave badly in cyberspace, and, although your email may look fine as you type it, the message could have line breaks all over the place, when it’s received. Sloppy presentation like this, sends out a clear message that does not favour people buying from you. Any sloppy line breaks are hard to read. An ideal line length is about 50 – 60 spaces. 3. Write Your Ads Like You’re SPEAKING to an INDIVIDUAL: When you email someone you are, in effect, striking up a conversation with them. You are hoping they’ll take the time to ‘listen’. A little bit of humour, a little bit of your own personal style, will not go astray in your message. Be friendly and be polite. Emails that are abrupt or too direct, can be read as insulting or critical. 4. Say PLEASE and THANK You a Lot: As a web marketer, I always start my messages by thanking people for ‘clicking in’ to my message. After all, they have taken the trouble to open my email, ahead of possibly tens or even hundreds of others, who they have not bothered to open. I always thank them for their trouble. I know that when people are polite and thank me, I always feel better towards them and welcome the respect. 5. Keep Your email Ads PUNCHY and SHORT:Email, by nature, is a time-saving tool. It’s quick and it’s to the point. Keep you message to the point and don’t try to cram too many ‘sales pitches’ in the one email. It’s very unlikely that people will read the whole thing from top to bottom, so keep your selling to six paragraphs or so. This is for emails you may be sending to a safelist. If you are emailing your regular mailing list, perhaps with you newsletter, then you can afford to follow the regular format, which may be quite long. This is because you newsletter subscribers generally know what to expect because they hopefully have read more than one edition. 6.

This is because it is the most widely-used and has the best reputation in bringing targeted traffic to websites. It is used to stay in touch with your customers or prospective customers, send out invitations, or make special offers.It's as easy as writing an e-mail that may be in a form of a newsletter or a plain announcement, and sending that to as many targeted recipients as possible. However, there's an ideal way of going about it. Email marketing is not just about writing any email that you will be sending to anybody. To clarify that, here are some simple tips in 6.

Teasers like this are very effective and may even prompt readers to immediately scroll down to the bottom to check out what they can get. 7. AVOID the Word FREE in Your Message: Why, because the spam filters will get you. While FREE might be the most attractive word in email marketing, it’s also one of those that spam filters will likely detect to block your message. You need to be a bit creative. Instead of FREE, why not use words like ‘no cost, ‘gratis’ ‘give-away’, ‘gift’ or ‘bonus’. 8. AVOID Too Many SYMBOLS: Those of us old enough to remember cartoon comic strips, will remember how cartoonists often used symbols to show a character ‘swearing’. Such as, ‘Why You #@!*’ Too many symbols in your message could have the same effect – making your message confusing and unfriendly to readers. Use symbols sparingly and to draw attention to important points. 9. DON’T Have Too Many BLOCK Paragraphs: Although grammar purists will tell you that paragraphs can have many sentences, so long as they are on the same topic, use short paragraphs of only one or two sentences. Short is better, because these days, people do not want to read great slabs of text – they will simply tune out. You can also highlight key points in your sales message, simply by isolating them in one lonely sentence. 10. EMAIL People As You Would Like THEM to Email YOU: This sounds a bit biblical, but really the same applies in general life. Try to put yourself in the reader’s shoes after you’ve finished your message. Would you like to have such an email sent to your in-box. Would you find such an email polite and friendly? If anything ‘jolts’ as you read your own email, make sure you soften it with further friendly communication. You will likely find that showing some ‘manners’ in your email communications, will translate into greater profits and more buyers.
