6 Email Tips For Beginners

Digital Marketing Published on

I'm always amazed at what I see on the internet. People don't know what they're doing, but they know little, nothing, or nothing.

Sometimes I'm surprised by what I find online. People do things that not only show that they don't know what they're doing but that they know very little about the business world.

Here are seven trends I've seen. These are the things you should never do in business if you want to ruin your reputation and leave your business behind.

1. Pam.
This should be obvious. When you send an email to someone who didn't ask for it, you're asking for trouble. Let me clarify: I am a woman. So, I don't need Viagra, I'm not pregnant, and I don't care about pleasing women. I don't want a mortgage because it's too much trouble, and what I do behind closed doors, whether it's mine or not, isn't yours.

To solve this problem, I recommend that you encrypt email addresses on your website. There are many free email encryption tools available for use over the Internet. I only have one account that takes up a lot of space because I use it to receive messages, post on forums, and get public emails.

This is the email encryption I use, and it works great: http://automaticlabs.com/products/enkoderform/

I also use SpamAssassin as part of my web hosting, and it has failed many times without me missing the email I was looking for.

2. Annoying spam complaints.
I received complaints because a link to my website in the resource box of one of my articles contained the word "marketing." This article has not been published in my newsletter.

I refused and stopped. It was clear to me that the person who complained was not talking. Advertisers do not send spam. They send emails to customers. Worse, watchdog groups are allowed to file complaints without even reading the emails.

The best thing to do here is to make your reading list double. My web hosting company should do this, but they set it up automatically for me, so it's not a problem.

The rest, you can forget. Ignorance can be called bliss. These people don't have a problem to solve, so they don't need your product.

You can also put a link at the bottom of the email so readers can unsubscribe. Sometimes you still get emails from strangers who don't know how to click the link. When you do, you just click.

For those who like to file complaints like this, be careful when reading emails. As for us trying to make money honestly, we don't want you to get it.

3. Dear Publisher or Not, email.
Listen, if you want to do business with me, you need to know my name. You may think that you want to do business with me to solve my problem, not that you want to sell me anything. You will get it in time. I deleted it. People who send emails like this don't even have the chance to write to me.

Be individual. When you email someone, check their website to see if they are listed.

4. Enter all upper- or lower-case letters.
I know it's a bit of an email, but who wants to yell? I read a lot of emails every day; some are junk and some are important. I'm very tolerant of people whose second language is English, but if your first language is English, can you write an email like a real letter? I don't want to receive emails like this. I want to know your IQ.

You can also cancel it if it's really important. Maybe these people will read my article and receive the award.

Take the time to write your email, and make it easy to read. Your name is here. Show that you are a professional.

I know I sometimes make mistakes while typing. I probably write a few thousand words a week. This is not intentional. I see a lot like this.

5. You subscribe to my mailing list, and then I wait to pay for your emails because you call them spam.

Yes, I have one of those too, the only person who subscribes to my course. 30 lessons. I had to pay him at least 15 cents for every email he received because he refused to accept the e-course he signed up for.

This way, you can delete the entire domain. Save other webmasters hosting your website the trouble of doing it themselves.

6. You're not on vacation, but you still respond. I got a lot out of it. I deleted it. I don't care about direct holiday buyers or readers, but if you want to send me a message, please take the time to write me an email. I don't have time to read auto-replies; I might mistake them for spam and put you on my spam list.

If you're on vacation, save your autoresponders for when you're on vacation. 7. You do not provide contact information or download instructions.
I have included a section for download instructions.

I'm always afraid to do business with people who don't provide contact information. I also responded to a few emails that I thought were legitimate, but they were bounced back. If you want to create
