*#1: Keep The Subject Line Short And Different:*
The shorter the email subject line-the better. Add
a little mystery to it. If possible associate it
with money.
For e.g.: " John's $ 49.99 Refund!
The above subject line is what I use after my 5th
follow up for upgrading my eBook the Deluxe version.
Inside the body of the message the first sentence
is the exact 'refund message' he will be getting if
the customer choose for a refund after upgrading.
I have been receiving a click through ratio of about
7.5 to the URL,

*#2: Innovative Personalization On The Subject Line:*
Note the above subject line again!
"John's $ 49.99 Refund!
If the customer name is john,
It is better to say "John's $49.99 Refund!
--Than to Say, John your $49.99 Refund
This works best on your 3rd follow up onwards. Or if
your are giving something valuable like a Free Gift
you can use it on the First email. e.g. "John's Free Gift!
*#3: 'RE': In Subject Line Is Very Important To People:*
Is there a different way to use RE:?
Consider these two examples,
The usual one - Re: John, your income stream!
The one I use - John -re: Your Income Stream!
The second one is the one that I use to drive
traffic to the 50%-commission affiliate program for
all my 38 info products. Again I get a click through
ratio of 7.5% to the URL,

*-#4: Use Quotation " In The Subject Line:*
Using quotation in the subject line arrests a persons
eyes on the subject line. e.g.: "John's $49.99 Refund!
*-#5: People Like To Be Updated, Upgraded And Remain Current:*
Use the word "update" and "upgrade" intelligently in the
subject line.
For e.g.: "John's important update. Open!
Whenever I add a new affiliate program, an email with the
above subject line goes out to my valuable customers. The
response rate has been good enough -especially when I
am inviting them to join under me.
*Additional Tip*
You can use the personalization suggestion given
above even in your autoresponder. For eg if the
personalization tag given to you by your autoresponder
is , all you have to do is Insert:
"'s $49.99 Refund! --which will read as
"John's $49.99 Refund! (Watch " and 's)
I hope this article to be of use to you. There are many
more 'email subject tricks' to be discussed which I will
be covering in a future article as I have already stolen
a major chunk of your valuable time!
