Writing better emails

The most effective way to find freelance projects is to use job boards and contact clients directly by email. Ensure to follow email etiquette.

  • Use a clear subject line. Keep the subject line short and to the point. E.g. "Regarding your Craiglist Ad."
  • Don't send to multiple recipients, as you may end up modifying the content for a group.
  • Personalise your mail. Address by name and ensure you spell the name correctly.
  • Include your signature at the bottom of your email, contact information and links to your LinkedIn profile and websites.
  • Keep follow-up emails to a minimum.
