Email is the primary mode of communication between Internet users.
You use email to network with other bloggers, to grow your online
business, to convert potential prospects into clients and so on. The
micro blogging sites like Twitter, Facebook may have changed the
way we share information but when it comes in communicating with
web users, email is probably the simplest and universally accepted
option.
Having said that, it’s obvious that you should pay attention to all those
emails you send every day. Here are a few tips for maintaining proper
email etiquette:
1. Use a meaningful subject.
Just as a meaningful title makes a reader read a blog post, a
meaningful subject of your email sets it apart from the crowd. A
meaningful subject saves time as the recipient can grasp your idea
quickly.
For example: If you want to post a quest article at Dailyblogtips and
want to contact Daniel, use the subject line as “Guest article” rather
than “Hello Daniel”.

2. Skip the introductory paragraphs, jump directly to the point
When you are writing an email, keep the purpose in focus. Do not
make the email longer by adding unnecessary introductions or links.
The person whom you are writing the email may have dozens of
emails to read and if you make the email long and boring , he will
rather skip reading it.
Thus avoid the boring intros and jump directly to your point. It saves
time at both ends.
3. Use saved templates for answering commonly asked questions.
If you get frequent emails where readers ask you the same questions,
spend some time writing a template and save it in your drafts folder.
Whenever you get a similar message to which you have replied before
just paste the template into the email message.
