  31. Subject Line:
    I feel too young for an early bird special

    *subject lines that sound like they were written by a dramatic 13 year old girl convert 4x better, because if you think about it that’s what the subject lines of your personal back-and-forth emails sound like: narcissistic.

  32. Join us in Denver for our Optimization Summit to discover how to test and boost landing page clickthrough’s!

    • I prefer just the “?” because in many email boxes the first text of the email will show. For example:

      [subject line:] ? [in a lighter font next to the SL this will appear] Dear Marketer, Once visitors reach your landing pages, do they have a clear understanding of what they should do next?

  33. “Stop herding cats! Start turning clicks into dollars!”

    “Did I fail this test?”

  35. To me, writing subject lines is like eating sushi – I’m not satisfied with just 1 or 2 🙂

    • You can’t expect prizes when you send out typo’s. Nice lesson here on proofreading.

      It should read, “How I earn an extra $500 a week in just 30 minutes a night.”

      The goal is to make it sound enticing without sounding unrealistic or fake.

    [Note: May I be forgiven for the blasphemous name dropping of the Godin on high]

  43. Just a quick tip for all of you:

    Keep your subject lines 50 characters MAX. That is the maximum number of characters that will show to them before they open an email.

    Hope this helps,

    Mladen

  44. When it comes to subject lines, I tend to lean to the creative/friendly side…especially because people are tired of done-to-death sales talk. Here’s what would get my attention:

    Subject: Knock, knock.
    Of course I’d tweak the intro sentence a bit…especially since it’s visible in many email windows.

  45. Let’s go with honesty:

    Please open this email or I’ll lose the subject line competition 🙁

    Unhappy face optional.

  46. And the winning subject line is…
