Writing it Right – The Importance of Wordsmith Skills to Email List Growth

August 07, 2011

Few people involved in online marketing picture themselves as writers. Granted, there are probably plenty of frustrated novelists out there running business email lists and working hard to build their contacts. But for the most part, online marketers have a tendency to view the craft of writing as something they’d rather not have to deal with. After all, it’s one of the hardest things in the world for some people to do well. Needless to say this is where a lot of people using email list management software come up against barriers – because as much as it can do for you, it can’t write your newsletters for you.

Which is really too bad, because in many ways that’s the one thing that really separates great business email lists from small, marginally successful ones. The ability to communicate with words is critical if you’re going to be communicating with people through email and constantly trying to reach more. If you’re concerned about your ability to handle the written communications angle, you may want to consider hiring a writer to do your wordsmithing for you.

Fortunately, online writing services are easy to find and a good service or individual should be able to provide samples of their work. Working with a writer or a writing service is a common practice among online marketers who want to come across well to their customer base for the purposes of building their business email lists. If writing isn’t your strong suit, this could be the answer to your word worries.
