Email Subject Lines

The hook of every email. If it does not get opened, nothing else matters.

A subject line works like a headline. Curiosity, a personal tone and a specific detail tend to win. Short and plain often beats clever.

The preview text right after it is a second chance to earn the open.

Do it step by step

  1. Write it like a message from a friend.
  2. Use curiosity: Did something happen?
  3. Use specifics: The 3 pages that sold 40k.
  4. Avoid spammy words and all caps.
