Discover How You Can Start Writing Subject
Lines
That Dramatically Increase The Number Of People
Who Open And Read Your E-mail!
You probably already know
how critical good sales copy is to the success of your Affiliate promotions.
But how much thought do you put into your subject lines?
When doing e-mail promotions,
your subject line can literally make or break your success --
a critical point that the majority of affiliates and marketers miss.
Think about all of those e-mails
you're probably getting on a daily basis with subjects like: "MAKE
$75,000 EVERY WEEK GUARANTEED!"
"EXPLOSIVE STOCK PICK AT $0.45!!!!
"newsletter"
"THIS IS NOT SPAM!"
Do you open these e-mails?
Because I know I sure don't! The subject line makes it obvious that the
e-mail is spam... that it's from someone you don't know... or it doesn't
offer a clear benefit that makes you want to read it.
Now let me ask you a question...
How many of your legitimate newsletters and e-mails are mistakenly deleted
by your subscribers who read your subject lines and assume it must be
spam?
How many potential
sales could you have saved simply by rewriting your subject lines?
Obviously I can't
answer these questions for you. However, I CAN teach you how to write
subject lines that will compel your subscribers to open and read any e-mail
you send them.
When you write your subject lines,
you basically have 3 choices:
1) You can make
an announcement or give news. (i.e. "Mike shows affiliates
how to write killer subject lines")
2) You can make the reader curious. (i.e."Mike
gives affiliates this secret marketing strategy...")
3) You can emphasize how the reader will benefit from
opening your e-mail. (i.e. Discover tips for writing subject lines that
will increase your affiliate sales.
Out of these
3 techniques, you will always be most successful if you write subject
lines that state a clear benefit and tell the reader
exactly how they are going to save money, save time, make their life easier,
etc... by opening and reading your e-mail.
If you can state
a benefit AND create curiosity, so much the better! (i.e., Discover this
proven marketing strategy that will increase your affiliate sales!)
But again, the
key when writing subject lines is to emphasize benefits by considering
your product or service from your customers' point of view...
- How will they benefit
from taking the time to read your e-mail?
- What will they learn?
- Is your product/service
going to save them time?
- Is it going to save them
money?
- Or is it going to improve
their lives in some way?
Write subject
lines that emphasize these benefits and I guarantee that you'll dramatically
increase the number of subscribers who open and read your e-mail.
Two other key points to remember
when writing your subject lines are:
a) Keep it short
and sweet! Don't let your subjects run any longer than 60 characters
-- and make sure that the most important details are mentioned first
so it doesn't get cut off.
If your subscribers can't read
your entire subject line because it's too long, chances are they won't
open your e-mail.
b) If possible, personalize it! A subject line like "Bob,
here's the info you need..." is going to get a MUCH better response
than simply "Here's the info you need" because the recipient
assumes you know them -- and is therefore more likely to open the e-mail.
We've proven that personalized
e-mail like this can increase the response you receive by as much
as 64%! So don't take this technique lightly...
(Important Note:
If you would like to start personalizing your e-mail to your subscribers,
I recommend checking out the e-mail automation software, Mailloop
-- that allows you to send hundreds, even thousands, of personalized
e-mail all at the click of a few buttons. You can personalize your e-mail
with names, dates, products, whatever you like! And it's really easy to
add names to subject lines.)
