Free Smileys in your Emails and Tips on How You Can Manage Your Inbox Efficiently




Clutter wastes time and energy; here are tips on how you can start to clear away clutter in your mailbox before you can start to enjoy sending free smileys in your emails.


With your spam filter working overnight, and the CANN SPAM Act of 2003 in full effect, there is less reason this article would snag your attention, right? Even while you sleep, the anti-spam law, your email client’s nosy spam watchdogs, as well as your PC’s anti-spam software make sure that you get less, if not zero, unsolicited emails in your inbox. However, for some people, nightmare is still far from over.

Some people just find it a lot of challenge to manage their emails, regardless of volume. Apparently, what they lack is system, or they simply are clueless on how to manage their inbox efficiently. Most email clients, such as Gmail, Yahoo! Mail and Hotmail have included in their respective email systems certain features that could promote hassle-free emailing experience, provided these are utilized.


On the other hand, free smileys sent in emails, add a special touch to electronic communication, which lacks the body language that can aid self-expression when words run out. Animated smileys or emoticons come handy when you want to arrest your reader’s attention to a particular topic in your email, highlight a remark or simply provide human emotion whenever necessary.

These smiley icons come in different sizes, and with a plethora of designs to choose from, you can’t complain about not having fully expressed your feelings because there is always one free smiley available to your rescue. Commonly sent in personal emails rather than business communication, free smileys gain prominence on the internet when they become available for use of social networking sites, too.

Cuter and vibrant smileys can be sent in most email clients, and more and more people are discovering the importance of using them however when one does not exert effort in clearing his inbox of the debris and clutter of unsolicited emails, the joy of receiving cute and vibrant free smileys and animated emoticons in some emails can diminish as too much time is wasted in wading through bulk of useless information. Here are tips on how to un-clutter your mailbox and enjoy the pleasure of receiving free smileys and animated emoticons in your emails:

1. Create Folders. You can organize your emails by creating different folders; according to subject or sender, drag and drop an email to its respective folder as soon as you have read it. This will unclog your inbox and would make your future search easy. You may create a special folder for those personal emails that come with animated emoticons as your easy access to inspiration when you need it most.

2. Set-up Your Email Filter. Most email clients include a filtering option for their users to choose from. With volumes of email that find access into your mailbox everyday, it would require much effort if you segregate each one, which emails go to your inbox and which ones are considered spam; your email filtering option liberates your time by doing this mundane task automatically on your behalf.

3. Handle with ease the following shortcuts offered by most email clients:

a. Utilize your email’s “Search Service” when you wish to access an attachment, or a particular email quickly;

b. Discover how to put-up and manage a slideshow of images and photos you receive in your inbox, instead of downloading them individually;

c. “Download All” is a feature that allows you to access multiple attachments at onceinstead of downloading separately;

d. Email Alerts prompt you to a fresh email as soon as it hits your mailbox.

It takes only a little extra time everyday to get your inbox in order, but it pays off big dividends in terms of less time and efforts going to waste. Your mailbox can say a lot of things about you, just like free smileys taking the place of words. Manage your inbox efficiently, and start seeing progress in everything else you do on the internet, taking place.

To Pay or Not to Pay for Smileys

Smiley emoticons are helpful email accessories that present types of informal communication cannot do without. For maximum effect, subscription can be a good option. Here are four reasons why.

Why pay when you can get them free? As there are close to six dozen websites offering smileys or animated emoticons that you can send in your emails, and mostly downloadable free of charge, it sounds exorbitant for some people to opt for subscription, isn’t it?

Regardless of how you use them – in your emails or on the pages of your favorite social networking sites – smileys or animated emoticons have come a long way from just having a few strokes (and with your “head tilted to the left” to decipher their meaning) to a plethora of smiley emoticons nowadays that expresses every conceivable human emotion.

Why pay when you can get them free? Again, that question. Yes, indeed why opt for subscription service when smileys are available sans the price tag?

The truth is smiley emoticons that you download on your desktop can be so limited when you have fully appreciated the importance of smileys in your mails, or networking activities. Smileys provide the human touch on emails; they come handy when you run out of words to say and they, with higher success rate than colored fonts and highlights, catch more attention.

Would you not pay for -

More design options. Animated emoticons that are available on low-cost subscription fees usually come in wider range of options; each emotion is expressed in many ways, which provide variation, and eliminates boredom;

More vibrant, a whole lot cuter designs. Smiley providers hire illustrators to create lovable smiley-designs for both freebies and those on subscription. It can be assumed that the best designs are reserved for the use of subscribers, for the simple reason that he, who invests, deserves the best treatment.

Wider categories. Available smileys and animated emoticon designs come in different categories; those on subscription are assured of additional categories that include more trendy designs as most illustrators stay attuned to current events that help shape their clients’ choice of which smiley emoticons to use.

Technical Support. As a way of showing gratitude to their clients’ growing patronage, most companies provide technical support to paid subscribers for a glitch-free experience while using smileys.

Investing a few dollars on subscription fees add more value in the long run because as you send smileys in your email, you improve its appearance and give it more impact. As it attracts attention, you get your message across, successfully.

Would you rather have the limiting standard of free smileys? Sure, you would not want to scrimp on a few dollars and risk the chance of getting the attention you need, and of getting the results you want with your emails, right?

Smiley-providers abound on the internet however there are only a few providing subscription –privileges. Here are some tips for you to consider before you sign-up for subscription:

1. Sizes. Do smileys come in different sizes, like small, medium or large? Different sizes of smiley emoticons add more impact on the message you want to convey in your emails, as they connote the degree of your emotion as well;

2. Spyware and adware. Make sure that your animated emoticons are spyware and adware free, as most people detest the experience, in fact these are some of the reasons why smiley emoticons –paid or freebie – do not appeal to some people.

The use of smileys has indeed set an influence on how most of us communicate, and so far the result is obviously on a positive note, otherwise companies who are in business for animated emoticons or smileys would not have proliferated like mushrooms on the internet. As trends shift from simple to more vibrant designs, available among those on subscription, the use of smileys would certainly add more impact and generate more desirable results.

Would you rather wait on a freebie? Then you could be missing out on a lot of fun!

How to Master the Art of Communicating with Email Smileys

Animated emoticons come handy when writing emails and you can’t find appropriate words to clearly express how you feel. However, they can be abused and therefore lose their purpose. Here are 10 ways to watch out for when using animated emoticons in your online communication.

In the absence of body language, communication on the internet is largely dependent on the spoken or written word, which for business communication is precisely just what is necessary. However, latest technological innovations have imitated a large part of social life on computer programs that induced people to fore go physical interaction to a more convenient, cost-efficient and a lot exciting virtual counterpart. You need not embark on a world-tour just to develop a multi-racial network of friends; social networking sites, online gaming and thousands of discussion boards and forums can easily open the flood gates of profiles on your laptop that soon enough you would have your own version of the United Nations.

But how would one person who speaks Mandarin all his life would clearly understand someone from France? Even two people who speak the same language, and live in the same house can misunderstand one another, or divorce would not have been an issue.

Putting it simply, language barrier is a challenge; words are not enough to express what one wishes to convey, and in the absence of body language on the internet, communication runs the short course of either taken for something else or flatly not understood at all. This is where free smileys or emoticons can come to your rescue.

Email Smileys or animated emoticons were conceived out of the same need to find a means to express approval or disgust, when words are too lame to convey it. In the absence of hand signals or body language, which can make communication more effortless, smiley icons or emoticons have been proven to work.

Here then are 12 tips on how to master the art of communicating with email smileys:

1. Email smileys are off-limits to business emails;

2. Choose email smileys that come in different sizes –small, medium or large - to clearly express the intensity level of your own emotions;

3. Do not send email smileys or animated emoticons in your first email; the recipient may not share your optimism in using email smileys;

4. Exercise restraint when sending email smileys; you would not want to send a kissing smiley when you barely know the other person, would you?

5. As much as words, be careful with how you choose email smileys. Take into account another person’s race, religion, sexual orientation, customs and traditions when sending smileys in your emails;

6. Do not use email smileys to harass or insult another person;

7. Do not send too many smileys in your emails; too much of anything repels, instead of attract;

8. Choose email smileys that are compatible with most email servers, such as Yahoo!Mail, Gmail, Hotmail, AOL, Earthlink, and Comcast. You would not want smileys that restrict your choice of email client to use, depending on your own convenience.

9. Do not patronize email smileys that have spyware or adware on them;

10. When you grow accustomed to using email smileys, you will appreciate more their use and the impact they provide your communication; seek out a subscription, rather than the free service.

Today, smiley icons have evolved from simple textual images to becoming a lot of characters with more expressions for everyone to use. Most email smileys can be downloaded on your desktop for free however, to fully maximize the benefits that you can derive from their use, you should opt for a full service, which you can pay in exchange for a wider range of emoticons. Nothing replaces good communication, and if email smileys help out in clearing the channels for you, a few dollars each month on subscription fees for smileys pay off in the long run.

Mastering the art of communicating with email smileys is simple, provided you follow one rule: if you are not certain, don’t send. Smiley icons serve as just accessories to communication; aids to it when words seem hard to find, but there is no way you would allow your message to get construed falsely by sending an inappropriate smiley.

In most experiences however, email smileys have been found effective. Find out for yourself!
