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.
