1. Keep your signature short and sweet. Remember it is a signature and not a promotional prose. An ideal one has no more than three or four lines of text and a link to the page you wish to promote.

2. Offer an incentive for the reader to click through to your website. A freebie offer of some sort – an e-book, piece of software, free ticket or voucher and so on are effective and attractive.

3. Use full and complete URLs, starting from http:// so that readers will be able to click the link. Avoid cut and paste, or manually type it into their browser, that is probably not going to happen. Your readers are lazy and want the easiest possible way. So make it easy for your reader to get to your website with a single click.

4. Use plain text to keep it simple.

5. Put your signature right at the foot of your name. People should be able to associate your signature with you as the sender.

Another effective way of using signature file for promotional purpose is to add signatures to your autoresponder mail and to your forum posts and your website pop accounts. Get into the habit of setting up a signature file every time you open an new forum or email account and take full advantage of this free and simple way to promote your Home business income opportunitywebsite.
