    Great Headlines and email Subject Lines - post your favorites

    How about posting in this thread the great headlines and subject lines that we come across? What I mean is, headlines and subject lines that we found appealling, that got our attention and made us click, or, at least, made us think.

    For example, here's one I received today from Rob Benwell of Bloggingtothebank.com (Don't worry. I am not a member of any of Rob's programs.)

    Email subject line: GT, I found you a new job

    That got my attention, made me smile and caused me to open and read the email!

    I know it's not going to be a "job" he's offering, it's going to be a marketing opportunity.

    So, why would it catch my attention? Because everybody is conditioned to perk up when someone else "finds them a job." That's because we all want to know what kind of job another person thinks we are suitable for.

    To use the word "job" instead of "marketing opportunity," I thought was creative and catchy. I know it won't appeal to everybody, but it worked for me! (Although, I didn't actually click the link in the email! :wink: )

    >>>>> What headline or subject line has caught your attention lately, and why?

    GT :)

    Here's another email subject line I received:

    GT - How Much Money Do You Really Want?

    This came in today's email. I know it is pretty simple and basic, but it appealled to me. It doesn't make crazy claims or try to bully you into clicking. It just triggers an honest thought thread in your mind.

    That's my opinion, anyway.
