How to Write a Killer Email

Have you ever sat in front of your computer afraid to send an email because you were not sure if it sounded professional enough? Have you felt the anxieties of attempting to send the “perfect” email? Well here are some tips and tricks on how to write a great email and know that it is push-send worthy!

Where to Start

First things first, when it comes to beginning your killer email, the subject line. Think of your subject line as the headline of a newspaper. This title needs to be interesting and catchy because if it’s not, people will either scroll past it or delete it.

Take Your Time

Most people’s first mistake in writing emails is that they attempt to do them in a hurry. Be sure to spend your time on important emails. Let this person know that you care about what your writing to them. Also, if you type out an email quickly, you are likely to make more mistakes.

All About Tone

Be sure that the tone of your email stays consistent throughout. Do not sound like you are a robot typing, but a human who is being real and conversational. This will also help make your email less boring to whoever is reading it.

Make it Neat

Do not be sloppy when writing your emails. Be sure they have a beginning, middle, and an end. Emails need to make sense and use proper spelling and grammar so that whoever is reading it can understand what you are trying to communicate.

Keep Positive

Having a positive salutation and sign-off is crucial to all emails. This is just being polite and courteous to whoever is on the receiving end of the email.

Read Out Loud

Lastly, and most importantly, read your emails out loud! This is so that you can be sure your email will make sense to the reader. Reading out loud will also help you catch any weird spellings or grammar errors.

By following these simple steps, you will be on your way to writing the “perfect” email without any hesitation or stress!
