12 Tips For Writing Winning E-mail

by: Michael Oksa

Learning to write more effective e-mail is a valuable skill when you are trying to build an online business. Here are a few tips to get you started.

SUBJECT LINE

1. Capitalize The First Letter of each word in your subject line NOT EVERY LETTER. writing in all lower case should also be avoided. You may be trying to make sure your e-mail gets read when using all caps, but it will be deleted most of the time, without ever being read.

2. Avoid making claims that are difficult, if not impossible, to prove. Try to avoid words like best, biggest, easiest, greatest, and so on. These words are subjective, and will often cause people to delete your message without opening it. If you feel you absolutely must use words like this in your subject line, then support them in the body of your e-mail.

3. Make them short and compelling, but don't use deception to get people to read an e-mail. "Message From Admin" or "Account Deleted" are two examples of deceitful subject lines. You may get someone to open the e-mail, but if they find an ad they will delete, and more than likely, block future messages from you.

BODY

4. If you are sending e-mail to someone you don't know personally, then explain who you are and why you are sending the e-mail. Example: "You are receiving this e-mail because you are in my A1SFN downline", a simple explanation is usually all that is needed.

5. Pay attention to how the body of your email looks. Remember to put a space between paragraphs, but avoid too much use of "white" space, too. You want your e-mail to be easy to read.

6. Use proper punctuation, and use capital letters at the beginning of each sentence. Messages written in all lower case are fine for quick notes to family and friends, but have no place in a business e-mail. Don't forget, spelling and grammar count too.

7. Sign your name to your email. It shows your downline you are a real person, and builds trust.

8. Use a p.s. in every message you send. It is one of the most read parts of an e-mail. Ask for some action on the part of the reader in the p.s., but keep it relevant to the main text of the email.

9. A signature line is an accepted way to do any non-relevant advertising. Most mail providers offer this service.

OTHER

10. Don't spam. If you are not sure whether the email you are sending will be considered spam or not, then don't send it.

11. Respond to emails you receive as fast as you can. Within 24 hours whenever possible.

12. Finally, test the different parts of your e-mail on a regular basis. Keep what works and get rid of what doesn't work, and you will soon find your email response rates go up.

Take some time to review these tips, and see where you can make improvements, you'll be glad you did.

11 Success Tips to Home Based Internet Business

by: Michel Richer

Let's face it everyone wants to succeed with their home based internet business ? But what does it takes to really succeed in cyberspace ?

1. Your first ultimate start must include written goals and plans. Formulate a plan of weekly activity and be persistent in following it—if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Sticking to your plan is essential for success.

2.Don't wait for everything to be exactly right to start...THERE WILL NEVER BE A "PERFECT" TIME! Start now, with whatever you have. The things you need will come to you as you work toward your goal. You cannot become successful in anything when you're trying to do too many things at once.

3. Treat your business as a serious, full-time business, and it will become one. Think of your first six months primarily as a training period. Don't expect large earnings until after you've educated yourself.

4. Be patient. You'll work the hardest your first six months or so and get compensated the least. Big incomes never happen overnight. They only come after you've properly shown your affiliates how to duplicate your efforts. Always be ENTHUSIASTIC!! Don't give yourself unrealistic expectations.

5. Don't complain to your upline leaders. Realize that what you accomplish is mainly in your hands, no one else's. Also realize that, when you see a problem, 95% of the time there are factors you are unaware of. Don't jump to conclusions. When you have a problem, present it in a concise letter as positive, constructive criticism. Offer solutions if possible, too. Not only will this approach get you better results, but you'll be building your relationship with your upline instead of tearing it down.

6. Be organized, but don't allow the act of organizing keep you from the most important element of a successful business: MARKETING. Market and promote your business EVERY DAY! Don't let little problems upset you. Concentrate on the many positives...and the "big picture."

7. Always remember that the only thing that will never change is that there will always be changes. Don't let changes upset you. Know that you will have to deal with changes and other obstacles, both big and small, continually. Be prepared to be flexible.

8. Don't be a negative thinker and don't let the negative attitudes of others (even if they're family members, friends, or peers) influence you. All the great men and women in history had to overcome the naysayers who said it couldn't be done—and then went out and did it. Think for yourself!

9. Don't be derailed by "perfection paralysis." Realize that you won't be able to do everything perfectly. Do the best job you can, then move on to the next project. Keep learning and keep moving ahead.

10. Read books (such as Napoleon Hill's classic, "Think And Grow Rich") that will convince you how powerful your mind really is. Develop the tremendous potential in you (that we all have) that has never been tapped!

11. Don't quit. The only way to fail is if you give up. Remember always..."You are what you think you are"
