Email Marketing Cheat Sheets- Subject Lines/Opening Sentences

One of the most important aspects of email marketing is getting your email opened and read. First you have to “seduce” the reader to open your email, over and above the 100’s of emails he receives each day. And then, you have to make him curious to read your email and take action on exactly what you want him to do.

Here are some great suggestions that I received by being a member of Rich Schefren’s Founders Club. I hope I won’t get in trouble by passing this information along, but it’s so valuable it’s worth the risk. There are 2 cheat sheets here… The first one is for subject lines that get emails opened and the second one is for opening sentences that get emails read.
