Email marketing can be one of the easiest ways to get traffic to your site. But, email marketing can be a waste of time if you don't do it correctly. Many people don't have a lot of time to read emails. Keep in mind that the people that get your emails probably receive several hundred of them a day.

Here are some email marketing tips that will help you drive people to your business. Let's get started.

1. The subject line for your message should be short yet informative. The subject line is used by many to filter out spam, so make sure it entices the reader to open the message.

2. Do you read every email you get? Of course not! Your email messages should be short with lots of headings and bullets to show important information.

3. Leave your reader with a call to action. Provide your contact information, such as a website and email address.

4. Make sure your messages are friendly without being to familiar.

5. Your important information should be in the first paragraph, since most people do not like to read long emails. To be safe, limit your messages to one paragraph only.

6. Avoid using HTML format in your emails since most email clients block emails with HTML by default.

7. Unsolicited email is not a good idea. 78% of readers actually open the emails that they requested.

8. If you can provide value to your prospects then they will want you to send them emails. Offering a discount relating to a product already purchased by your readers is a great way to get them to open your messages.

9. Have your readers add your email address to their white list.

10. Many readers depend on the name in the from field or the subject line to determine whether they will open an email. A subject line may include a free shipping or discount offer, product announcements or just interesting news.

Email marketing should be thought of as person to person and not business to business. Remember that real people will be reading your emails, so make sure they are put together by a real person.
