7 GREAT EMAIL HABITS FOR THE BEGINNING INTERNET
ENTREPRENEUR
by: michael turner
if you are just starting out as an internet
ENTREPRENEUR THEN YOU HAVE A LOT TO LEARN ABOUT
doing business online. one such thing you need
to concentrate on is your e-mailing habits.
E-MAIL IS YOUR WAY OF COMMUNICATING WITH PEOPLE
and potential customers, so developing good
e-mail habits early on is very important.

habit #1 respond quickly
always respond as quickly as possible to an
E-MAIL. DON'T RESPOND SO QUICKLY THAT YOU DO NOT
answer the questions or write properly, but
respond as fast as you possibly can. one to two
DAYS MAXIMUM.

habit #2 grammar and spelling
AS A BEGINNING INTERNET ENTREPRENEUR YOU CANNOT
risk losing customers because you can't write
properly or spell. fortunately, spellchecker and
GRAMMAR CHECK WILL HELP YOU WITH THIS. BE SURE
to use it with every e-mail.

HABIT #3 APPROPRIATE SUBJECT AND FORMAT
make sure the subject heading is filled in and
gives the reader some clue as to the content of
THE E-MAIL. THEN, MAKE SURE THE FORMAT OF THE
e-mail is similar to that of a real business
letter. lastly, don't forget to keep it short
AND SWEET. WHEN YOU WRITE A LONG DRAWN OUT
e-mail you will lose people's attention.

HABIT #4 ADDRESS RECIPIENT
always address the recipient of the e-mail. you
don't have to start out with dear recipient, but
THEIR NAME SHOULD DEFINITELY BE ADDRESSED. THIS
gives a more professional look to your e-mail,
which is just what you are trying to accomplish
AS A NEW INTERNET ENTREPRENEUR.

habit #5 provide contact information
ALWAYS PROVIDE YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION IN YOUR
e-mail following your signature. this way
individuals will be able to visit your website,
CALL YOU, FAX OR E-MAIL YOU WITHOUT HAVING TO
ask you for this information or do any extra
research. make it easy.

habit #6 cases
don't use all upper case or all lower case. type
CORRECTLY, JUST LIKE YOU WOULD WRITE. YOU WOULD
never send a business letter in all caps or all
lowercase, so don't send e-mails this way
EITHER. SOME PEOPLE WILL INTERPRET THIS AS
either screaming or whispering, respectively,
and some might think it is just unprofessional.
AVOID THIS AND TYPE CORRECTLY.

habit #7 previous messages
WHEN YOU RESPOND TO SOMEONE AND ARE ANSWERING
their questions be sure to include the previous
e-mail so they may see exactly what you are
REPLYING TO. FREQUENTLY, PEOPLE SEND E-MAILS AND
when you reply without the previous e-mail
attached they have no idea what you are
RESPONDING TO. THE BEST THING IS TO COPY PARTS
of the previous e-mail and paste it in your
e-mail with your response. or be very specific
WHEN ANSWERING QUESTIONS, SUCH AS RESTATING
them, for the convenience of your reader. if
not, you will waste your time and theirs and not
BE PERCEIVED AS A PROFESSIONAL.
