Email swipe, I need advice!

Would you be writing to people in your own language, or another language that is not your own?

IF you are writing to people in your own language, try to avoid typical sales type emails. Write emails in an easy style, read it out aloud to yourself, pretend you've just received this email yourself? Would it interest you?

Remember, you have at best 10-15 seconds to grab someone's attention to make them want to read further down the email.

If you are writing in a language that is not your own, I would suggest writing the emails, and getting someone who is a native speaker of that language, example, English, and get them to proof read your emails and make some corrections for you. You could get someone on one of the many freelancer websites to do this for you.

But I think the important things would be:

1. Grab attention: starting from your email subject line - Controversial subject lines often work.
2. Grab their attention quickly in the body of the email.
3. An easy flowing, easy to read style is important in my opinion.
4. Get someone to proof read your email if it's not in your native language.

This is just the beginning, but I hope you can use it as a springboard to develop further.
hope it helps.
