Blogger outreach is an important element if you want to take your blog to the next level. As it often has been said, you cannot rely on publishing excellent content alone. You need to get the word out about what you have to say.

And that is where an effective email signature comes in.

The email signature is often overlooked by many bloggers. This is a pity because your email signature is practically the equivalent of a printed business card. It gives the recipient information about you – information that may entice them to pay attention.

It’s all about the impression your email makes!

Now, there are bloggers who have an email signature, but it often is not optimized.

Here’s an example of an email signature:

  • Thanks for sharing Noemi! Great tips! that definitely looks more professional and legit. However, don’t you think putting links in the message often marks it as spam?

  • Hi Emmerey,

    Links in email signatures are fine and most likely wont be triggered as spam. There are usually many links in email signatures, like facebook, twitter etc. Sometimes even a telephone link so you can directly click on them with your phone and it opens up in your dialler.
