E-Mail Signature Files

Most every e-mail client these days offers you the ability to create a
signature file. Even free e-mail accounts, such as Yahoo or Hotmail,
allow you to create a signature file. Exactly the same as on an online
message board or forum, this signature file is attached to each and
every message you send out from your e-mail account. Think of all
the people you send e-mail to each day and all of the possible new
blog readers you can gain from this one simple signature file.


If you attach a link to your blog in every e-mail message you send out
people will invariably click on it whether it has to do with what you e-
mailed them about or not. People are very curious creatures and they
want to know what’s up with other people and what they are thinking.
Your blog allows them into your brain a bit, so they will click on the
link to your blog and look it over.


These e-mail contacts may be potential blog readers who you would
not have reached with online advertising in any other way. Using
signature files allows you to easily reach a large variety of people yet
not spend more than the couple minutes it takes to initially set up the
signature file itself. And, if you have a good quality blog then it is
entirely possible these new readers will pass along your link to all the
people they know as well.

If you have multiple blogs and multiple e-mail accounts you can put
links to all of your blogs in the signature files of each e-mail account or
your can put one link per account. Try to think what will generate you
the most traffic to the specific blogs you choose. You should always
take the time to promote your own blogs and your own sites through
your other blogs and sites; even if they are not directly related to each
other. Your goal for any blog or website should always be to have the
most visitors possible and you can do this through promoting your
sites wherever you can both online and off.
