Website Promotion Using the e-mail signature

One of the really great ways to promote your site is to use the e-mail signature. This technique is often overlooked is a convenient way to include your website address in every email you send business or personal, so keep your URL in front of people.

The nice thing with the e-mail signature is a cleanser that will not be visible to the email signature as a traditional "links" associated with and contained in spam. The results are that you can slip your URL in under the radar, more or less.

This is particularly useful for three specific reasons:

1. To promote your website URL link above.

2. To provide a link to an online curriculum - many ISPs now offer free personal web sites. You can create your own curriculum-site and use the site link in the email signature. This way, when you send query work / e-mail cover letters, just tell the potential employer, click on the link to your resume page displayed in the signature. This keeps your cover removed to obtain and not having to have the attachments. Employers' single click to view "your resume. This can also work with the free blog (see my profile page for a sample).

3. To send press releases to the media. Also in this case, or a personal website or a blog can be customized specifically for the media and, rather than sending press releases e-mail, simply click them to view a multimedia information site for more information. (You can see an example in my profile of the author).

For those of you who do not know how to set up an email signature do this:

Any e-mail program you are using, click Help and search the index for "signature" and the help file will guide you. Most people use Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express so here's a quickie for Outlook Express:

1. Open your email program.

2. Click on Tools

3. Click Options (You will see a row of tabs)

4. Click on the signature

5. Click New ... and follow the instructions.

To test your email signature, sends you e-mail and verify the connection works and there are no mistakes.

This is a really cool idea, if you have not thought of yet ... Donations accepted .... I'm kidding.

To your success!
