Email Signature Tips: A Simple Way to Get More Traffic & Leads |

Today, I’m going to share some email signature tips with you, so you can get more traffic to your website, generate more leads and make more sales. This advice will apply to anyone with an online business, not just network marketers.

What is an Email Signature?

An email signature is a message, or a group of words, that you add to the end of each email, just as you would if you were writing a handwritten letter. An email signature is designed to let people know what you do for a living and how to get in touch with you.

Some people type up this information manually every time they draft an email. Other people create an email signature that automatically gets attached to every email you write and every email you reply to.

Most email programs, to include Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo and AOL, let you create an email signature that automatically gets attached to every new email and every email you reply to. It would be wise to use this option.

Why Use Email Signatures?

Most people send out at least ten to twenty emails per day. That means that over the course of a month, most people sent out at least 300 to 600 emails. Over the course of a year, that is 4,000 to 8,000 emails. Many people send even more than that.

Between my six different email accounts I write at least 2,000 emails per month and I reply to at least 5,000 emails per month. Because each of my email accounts has an email signature automatically attached to it, lots of people see my email signature, which happens to be my marketing message. Many of these people who read my email click on the link in my email signature and visit my website.

If you were to use a catchy email signature, you could easily generate more traffic to your website, which will result in more leads and more sales. The best part about this strategy is that it is passive, free, and not “in your face.” You set up your email signature one time and you are done.

Standard Email Signature

Most people use a standard signature such as:

Sincerely,

Charles (Chuck) Holmes

Even creating a standard email signature as simple as this is much better than doing nothing at all. However, I believe you can get creative and do a much better job than that.

I was fortunate that my friend Alan introduced me to a company that helps people get out of debt. In the past year, I have eliminated 75% of my debt, built up a savings account, and opened a retirement account. I feel like a new person.

Email Signature Tips for Success

Here are some of my best email signature tips. They are listed in no particular order.

# 1: Create a catchy headline. You need to use something catchy that gets your prospects attention and makes them want to click on your email signature. Make a bold statement and appeal to people’s emotions.

# 2: Make the text bold, italic, or different colors. Make your email signature file stand out by using some bold, italics or different colors.

# 3: Use a Hyperlink. Don’t just paste your link in your signature file. Instead, use an anchor text, so your link comes up as words. For example, you could write: “Learn more about this life-changing product” and then turn that into a link.

# 4: Send people to a capture page. Whatever it is that you promote, always use a capture page first, so you can generate a lead, and then have your auto-responder automatically do the follow-up for you.

# 5: Use a tracking code to track your results. Consider using a tracking code in your link so you can see how many clicks you get each month, what your opt-in rate is, and what your conversion rate is. This will let you compare different email signatures to see which ones convert the best.

# 6: Experiment with different phrases, headlines and offers. From time to time, mix things up. Use different headlines, offers, links, etc. to see what does the best. This is known as split-testing.

# 7: Don’t rely on this strategy alone. This should never be the primary marketing strategy for your business, but it is a great “add on” or passive strategy. Combine this with other marketing methods whenever possible.

# 8: Appeal to people’s emotions. Realize that people are not logical. Instead, they make emotional decisions and then justify those decisions with logic. Focus on hitting people’s hot button whenever you can.

Final Thoughts

In summary, these are my best email signature tips. Whether you own a home business, traditional business, network marketing business, affiliate marketing business, or any other type of business, make sure you use an email signature to get more leads and more sales.
