People are drowning in emails. You've got 3 seconds to grab their attention. That's it. So how do you do it?
I've got 26 hacks that'll transform your email game. No fluff. Just pure, actionable stuff that works.
1. Be personal. Use their names. Their location. Make them feel special.
2. Create urgency. But not the fake kind. Real, "holy crap, I need this" urgency.
3. Ask questions that make them think, "Damn, I need to know the answer."
4. Use numbers and lists. People love digestible content.
5. Keep it short and sweet. Long subject lines are dead on arrival.
6. Ditch the spamming triggers. No excessive punctuation or shady words.
7. Use active verbs. Make them want to do something.
8. Create mystery. Tease them with what's inside.
9. Throw in some humor. Stand out in a sea of boring.
10. Use power words. "Proven," "Exclusive," - they work.
11. Tap into trends. Show you're in the know.
12. Solve their issues. Be their hero.
13. Leverage social proof. Show others love you.
14. Use emojis strategically. A little goes a long way.
15. Always be testing. What works currently might flop tomorrow.
16. Create timeframes. "24 hours" gets clicks.
17. Provide exclusive content. Make them feel special.
18. Use rhymes or alliteration. It's catchy and memorable.
19. Ask for feedback. People love sharing their opinions.
20. Ride the seasonal wave. Holidays are goldmines.
21. Give a sneak peek. Curiosity is a powerful motivator.
22. Use "How-To" statements. Assure value upfront.
23. Try reverse psychology. Sometimes "don't do it" works wonders.
24. Drop pop culture references. Be relatable.
25. Create curiosity gaps. Allow them to want more.
26. Use "If-Then" statements. Show clear benefits.
It's not just about the subject line. Your email content needs to deliver. Every. Single. Time.
