Sending out email has become part of our everyday existence.
We email friends all the time. But there’s really a big difference between
writing an email from writing a professional
email. What is it? Professional emails are always compelling and effective.
Here are our 15 simple but profound tips on how to make your email more
interesting and sophisticated, making you an effective online
conversationalist.
1. Keep your email objective-driven
Why send him an email for the first place? Emailing for no
reason at all is like putting yourself at an embarrassing situation. It’s like
beating around the bush. Organize your thoughts and never let confusion
over-rule your brain. Keep your intentions clean and you’ll stay focused your
email that way.
2. Be Straight to the Point
Stop from being prosaic. Skip the meaningless intros, don’t
use stuffy words but be wise all the time. In emailing, “less is always more!”
3. Always Put Good News on Your Email
Why would someone waste his time reading your email? Simple.
Because you have good news for him. Whether it’s all about freebies, discounts
or huge bargain sale, if you don’t make it look like it’s a good news, it’s
worth nothing for the reader.
4. Simplify, simplify, simplify
Keep your emails as simple and easy-to-understand as much as
possible. That makes it easier to read and less of a waste of time. As a reader
is more likely to understand simple emails, you can expect to get a reply
immediately.
5. Write only what’s important
Don’t say too much, but don’t make it too sparse that the
important details are omitted. Keep it rich with facts and never segue your
message on issues which are not really related to your message.
6. Don’t flatter
Flattering words is a total waste of time. You’ll only get
the impression that you’re a scammer and your main aim is to make money only.
7. Be personable
Always imbue a warm personality on your email. Always be
honest with your thoughts and opinion because that adds a warm touch on the
message that you are trying to imbue.
8. Be accessible.
Always make yourself accessible by putting your contact
details on your website, Facebook page, Twitter account, or Skype.
9. Use layman’s terms
Nothing beats an easy-to-understand and comprehensible
message. If you think your readers will understand the message that you’re
trying to convey after taking first glance on your work, then, you are writing
an effective email message.
10. EDIT, EDIT, AND EDIT
After composing your message, you want to take a second or
third look on it. You want your email to be as flaw-free as much as possible so
be aware of spellings, grammatical inconsistencies and delete parts which are
not really helpful or related to the goal of your email.
