Your goal in writing the email is to introduce your products and services and get the readers to purchase your products or avail of your services. So avoid having too many links on the email especially on the first part of the letter. You should only have the link that will take them to your action page.

• Keep your readers’ interest high.




Starting from the headline until the end of the email, the readers’ interest should be kept high. You should come up with an email that doesn’t sound too pushy or sales oriented. It should read like a friendly letter offering help instead of the traditional sales page. The readers should look at the email as something to help them. When they know that the email contains something that is beneficial to them, they will read on.

• Testimonials do help.




Include some testimonials in your email. Testimonials are more powerful than your own sales information. Of course, you will say something good about your products and services because you want to make sales. When the praises come from other people not connected with your business, it is a different story. It has the power to influence other people to try your products and services.

• Use P.S.




Some readers go over the headline, ignore the body and read on the last part of the email. If there is a PS, chances are, it will be read. So include a PS in your email. The PS should contain a clear call to action. Something like, “don’t miss this opportunity, grab this product now, etc.”.
