After testing hundreds of subject lines (and investing countless hours), I’ve discovered the one formula that works every single time.
The Formula: Curiosity + Benefit + Time Sensitivity
This combo is like email rocket fuel. Let’s break it down:
Curiosity: Sparks the reader’s interest. Makes them want to know more.
Benefit: Answers their question: “What’s in it for me?”
Time Sensitivity: Creates urgency and encourages timely engagement.
Here’s how it looks:
"Steal my 3-step email growth hack (gratis template inside)"
"Your email list deserves this strategy — Try it by Friday!"
"Last reminder: Improve your email KPIs with this simple tweak."
These subject lines make people stop scrolling. They propose value, make them curious, and add just enough urgency to encourage engagement.

How to Test and Refine Your Subject Lines
Let’s turn this formula into results:
A/B Testing: Test two subject lines in your next send. See which one resonates more.
Keep it Short: Fewer than 50 characters works best (especially for mobile users).
Power Words: Use emotional triggers like "gratis" "reminder," or "simple."
Even small adjustments—like adding a specific benefit—can significantly improve your engagement. If you’re not experimenting with subject lines, you’re missing potential readers.
What’s Your Next Step?
Your audience deserves better subject lines. And your email campaigns deserve engagement to match.
