I had someone ask me the other day how I added the email link into one of my market reports. Here is what the box looked like containing the email link:

Jeremy Blanton is a REALTOR with Coldwell Banker Chicora Real Estate and a member of The Blanton Team in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I am an Accredited Buyers Representative as well as a Relocation Specialist. If you are either looking to purchase or sell real estate anywhere in the world, do not hesitate to contact me for assistance.

If someone were to click on the link in the box that says contact me for assistance, it will automatically open up their email program and place my email address in the "To:" box. With the recent launch of
outside blogs, giving consumers who are reading our posts on these sites a quick and easy way to email us directly from the post is crucial. It saves them time and effort in getting directly in contact with us.
So how do you set up a direct email link? Well it is actually a very simple process.
First, type whatever text you wish for the email link to be. For the text box above, I used
Contact Me for Assistance. Others that you may use could be Email Me, or Contact me Now! or Let me know how I can assist you. You can use anything you wish for the link.
After typing the text you want, Highlight the text. I prefer to put my links in Bold to help them stand out better in my posts & email. To do the next step, you are going to use some basic html coding. DO NOT PANIC!!!
Click on the link button and type in the following:
mailto:youremail@address.com
if your email was Jeremy@activerain.com it would be like this:
Just change out the Jeremy@activerain.com for whatever your actual email address is and click insert. You have now successfully added a direct email link to your post.
As you continue to write quality posts both here on Activerain & also on your Outside Blogs, remember this easy tip to get consumers directly in contact with you quickly & efficiently!
