How To Email Austin Rhodes |
Step 1: Identify Your Austin
The first hurdle: there's more than one Austin Rhodes out there, just like there's more than one kind of cheese (though, let's be honest, can there ever be too much cheese?). Here's a quick rundown of the Austin Rhodeses you might be after:
Tip: Note one practical point from this post.
- The Augusta Press Author: If you're looking to praise (or critique, we're not here to judge) his latest literary masterpiece, this is your guy.
- The WGAC-AM Radio Host: Got a hot news tip or just want to chat about the weather? Look no further!
- The Rhodes Branding Co-founder: Need help rebranding your school into the coolest place on Earth (or at least the coolest place in your district)? This might be him.
Do your research! A misplaced email can be awkward, like accidentally calling your teacher "Mom" (we've all been there).
QuickTip: Focus more on the ‘how’ than the ‘what’.
Step 2: Craft Your Email Like a Boss (or at Least Like Someone Who Has a Basic Understanding of Email Etiquette)
Now that you know your Austin, it's time to write that email. Remember, this is your chance to make a good first impression (unless you're emailing about that time he accidentally cut you in line at the supermarket, then maybe focus on damage control).
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.
- Subject Line is Key: Avoid spammy all-caps and vague pronouncements ("Important!"). Be clear and concise, but with a touch of flair (e.g., "Huge Fan of Your Work on Martian Cheese Production" - if that's relevant to Austin, of course).
- Body of the Email: Keep it professional, but friendly. Briefly introduce yourself and explain why you're reaching out. Proofread! Typos are the gremlins of email - they wreak havoc on your credibility faster than you can say "autocorrect."
Bonus Tip: If you're asking a question, be specific but polite. Don't expect Austin to write your dissertation for you (unless you're offering a million bucks, but that's a whole different email).
Tip: Jot down one takeaway from this post.
Step 3: Hit Send and Pray (But Mostly Just Wait Patiently)
You've done it! You've conquered the email Everest! Now, the waiting game begins. Try not to refresh your inbox every two seconds. Patience is a virtue, and all that jazz.
Important Side Note: Austin Rhodes is a busy guy. Don't be discouraged if he doesn't reply right away.
