How to create a professional email signature with My Signature.
IN THIS TUTORIAL YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO CREATE A CUSTOM EMAIL SIGNATURE FOR YOUR COACHING OR SERVICE-BASED BUSINESS?
Why is it important to create a custom email signature for your coaching or service-based business?
- Easy for them to contact you – include the best ways to contact you
- Branded with your photo – visibility
- Branded with your colors – start to know your brand and business
- Drive them to your website – want people to check out your website? add your website url to your signature
- Promote your social media – do you want your ideal customers to see you on social? add your most popular social channels. Important; only add the social media profiles you update frequently. It looks super unprofessional if someone checks out your profile and you haven’t updated in months!
Step-by-step tutorial
Signup for My Signature – https://mysignature.io
Choose your email signature template
Under General Tab, add your contact information – such as name, title, email, phone and website.
Under Images Tab, upload your branded photo – I recommend 1080×1080 pixels (then you can crop it) and include a link to your website on the photo.
Under Social Tab, Add your most popular social media links – I added my FB group, Linkedin, Instagram, Tiktok.
Its up to you!
You can do Addons Tab, to link to your booking calendar or add a disclaimer too.
Under Design Tab, add your branded colors & fonts – pro tip: branded canva board ; they have limited fonts
Then go to “Install Signature” and all you need to do is pick GMAIL icon (as an example) and “copy to clipboard”. I don’t recommend using the My Signature extension. Its super easy to cut & paste your signature.
Go to your GMAIL
- In the top right, click Settings (gear icon in upper right) > General > Signature Settings.
- Paste your signature (Ctrl+V or Command+V) into the “Signature” section.
- Make sure to check the box “Insert signature before quoted text in replies and remove the “–” line that precedes it.”
- Press SAVE.
That’s it!
Pro Tip: If you’re using GMAIL, don’t make your email signature too tall. It will give you an error – I reduced the padding and spacing in order to make my email signature fit for gmail.
Once you have uploaded your email signature, make sure to test the links are working.
Enjoy a super professional email signature that lands you new clients!!
