Writing emails and sending them to your list is an excellent way to
drive traffic to your website or blog and build a healthy income online.
In order for either one of those to happen, your subscribers have to
open and read your emails. This is why it's important that you never
send junk to your list. If they receive a few low quality, low value
emails from you, it's not likely that they will open future emails.
So,
let's look at a few quick and easy tips on how to write emails that get
opened, read and will keep your subscribers happy and active.
1st - Decide on a format for your emails
Usually,
there are two options for formatting the text of your emails, HTML and
plain text. If you can only choose one, go with plain text. Everyone can
receive plain text. Even if they have their setting set to HTML, it
will convert to plain text. You don't want your messages getting
filtered out because a readers email service doesn't support HTML or
your reader doesn't like HTML. If you insist on using a HTML format, be
sure to set plain text as an alternative.
Next thing to consider is line formatting.
Keep
the lines in your emails at 65 characters or below. Many email
providers only permit 65 characters per line. When you exceed 65, your
text will display on the next line. This may not seem like a big issues,
but it will make the appearance of your emails look sloppy and
amateurish. You want to make every effort to show and prove to your
readers that you are an expert in your niche.
2nd- The Subject line
People
receive tons of emails per day. In fact, I'm sure you do too. People
don't read all of them, there is not enough time in the day. They
usually just quickly scan subject lines and open those from familiar
senders or with subject lines that capture and lead their attention.
Write your subject lines so that they stand out.
Your
subject line should be compelling enough to capture and lead your
reader's attention so they will open your email, while at the same time
accurately describing the contents of the message. Steer clear of spam
words in your subject lines as most email providers will route your
message to the spam box.
Your readers want whats going to benefit
them, teach them something, make them money, or save them time. It's a
good practice to use the readers name in the emails address because it
adds a personal touch.
