How to Write Better Emails Certification

How to Write Better Emails Certification

In today’s fast-paced, information-centric society, there is no escaping email. Close to 3.8 billion people across the globe use email on a daily basis for everything from keeping in touch with friends and family to ensuring that their business runs smoothly. Unfortunately, despite the prevalence of this technology, not many people know how to write emails that deliver information clearly, concisely or in a manner that can be easily understood or addressed.

This course goes into detail about the strategies and techniques you can employ to write better emails. We begin by setting out in detail the best way you can ensure that your message is read and comes across clearly to your recipient. Next, we move on to discussing ways to ensure your email stands out in the recipient’s inbox, by giving you information you can use to create subject lines that attract attention. We then move on to discussing the body of the email, letting you know the best way to structure your content. Finally, we caution you on a few common annoyances many people experience when receiving email, to help you avoid them.

 

You will learn:

  • Why proper spelling and grammar should be favoured over emoji and text-speak
  • How to create a subject line that is going to get the recipient’s attention
  • How to focus on the body of the email to ensure your message goes across well
  • Why brevity is a crucial skill to learn when drafting emails
