annoying-emailsI find it so annoying to get emails addressed to ‘Dear Domain Name’ asking me to partner with them.

Like I am going to take the time to read let alone respond to someone who couldn’t take the time to look up my username or real name while they were on my site.

How I Would Approach Someone Through Email

  1. The first thing I do when I want to approach someone with, well just about anything, I would first find out their name. Their real name if it’s available.
  2. Then I would be sure to say a few things while introducing myself that would show them I have been to their site and actually read something.
  3. Next I would ask them for permission to send what I want to send to them. I would not send it with an apology if they didn’t like it.

Short Example of an Email I would send:

Dear Robert Smith

Good day Robert. First I would like you to know I am most impressed with the work you have done on you “name of site” in the last month.

I was on your site again today reading about “specific topic here”, and thought you might be interested in offering an ecourse I created on “same topic here” to your readers.

I know you must be a busy guy so I will keep this short.

I would love to send you a copy of my ecourese to evaluate, no cost to you of course other than the time it takes to evaluate it.

Here is my domain so that you can take a peek at who I am. It should give you a better idea of who you may be working with in the future.

http://www.mydomain.com/

Let me know if you are interested at this time and I will get right back to you.

BTW: Keep the great content coming.

Sincerly James Mann

The example email above has a few things that make it real and worth reading.

  • The site owner’s real name.
  • I mention something about his site. He has made changes over the last month. Proof that I have at the least visited his site previously.
  • I specify what we have in common that made me email them.
  • It’s short and to the point.
  • I didn’t go into detail about what I was offering.
  • I made it quick and to the point so as not to take up too much of their time, just enough to peek their interest.
  • I left them with my domain so they could check up on me if they wish. Hiding nothing.

I don’t know about you but I would have read this email without considering it spam at all.
