Do you post to message boards, e-mail
discussion lists, classified ads sites, FFA sites
or newsgroups? People will usually read the subject
line before they read your ad or message, so it's
important they get noticed. Below are ten simple,
but powerful tips to get your ads or messages noticed.
1. Use extra white space creatively
in your subject line. You can add extra blank spaces
between your words or letters.
2. Combine capital letters with lower
case letters. Use all capital letters in every other
word or use a capital letter between every other lower
case letter.
3. Add text symbols in your subject
line. You could use them between words and letters.
Start and end your subject with a text symbol. ( *,
$, >,{,] )
4. Begin your subject line with the
word "STOP!". People have been trained their
whole life to stop what they are doing when they see
that word.
5. Ask people a question in your
subject line. We all went to school and were repetitively
branded to answer questions.
6. Use the word "FREE"
in your subject line. Your offer should be attractive
to your target audience. It could be free information,
software, trials, etc.
7. Begin your subject line with an
"online smile :)". People use smiles offline
to gain people's attention and to win their trust,
why not use them online too.
8. Don't use unbelievable claims
in your subject line. People have or know some who
has been ripped off and trained themselves to ignore
those claims.
9. Don't use all capital letters
in your subject line. It is hard to read, looks unprofessional,
and on the internet it's considered a symbol for shouting.
10. Test different subject lines
to see which ones draws the most traffic to your web
site. Also, read the FAQ before posting a message
or ad anywhere.
