The subject line is like a "billboard" in your inbox.
It's the first thing your reader will see, and the second most important factor in getting them to open.
(I'll reveal the most important factor later.)
If you get this part wrong they'll hit the "Delete" button. And the rest of your email won't mean squat if it's in the trash.
The trick with your subject lines is to use one of the most powerful forces in human nature... "Curiosity".
Each of your subject lines should be DRIPPING in curiosity.
Here's 3 examples:
1. Stan Lee reveals 7 deadly storytelling mistakes
2. The ugly truth about Facebook ads
3. This one weird trick destroys belly fat without giving up carbs
Can you see what's happening here?
Each of these subject lines creates an "itch" that the reader can only scratch by opening the email.
They think, "Hmm I'll just take a peak..."
And before they know it they're tumbling down the rabbit hole.
Clicking to your website, checking out what you have to offer, and buying your stuff.
There are dozens of different subject line types you could use... but if I had to pick just one to use for the rest of my life... it would be curiosity based.
And since I'm a nice guy, I'll share four curiosity subject line formulas for you to use:
1. {Authority} reveals X {topic} mistakes
2. The ugly truth about {topic}
3. This one weird trick can {get result} without {pain}
4. How to {get thing they want} without {thing they hate}
So now that you wrote out your subject line, what's next?
Let's sink our teeth into the meat...
