Here are Five Top Tips when creating your subject lines for your emails and blogs.

This is one of the most neglected skills in affiliate and email marketing.

1. MAKE YOUR SUBJECT LINE THE MAIN THING:

Most of us make this mistake when we write our first ads. We spend 80% effort on writing our ad and 20% effort on writing the subject line.

Actually; the top Gurus all know you get better results spending 80% effort on your subject lines and 20% effort on your email copy. All the copywriters live by this!

Think of it; if you don’t make people curious enough to open your email, it doesn matter what’s in it!

Spend at least 30 to 60 minutes writing your subject line.

2. READ EMAILS OF ACCOMPLISHED WRITERS YOU LIKE:

I keep a list of my top marketers and then go through my email box and do a search on those names.

When I find them, I’ll study their subject lines. Then learn from them!

Those are the best examples of money-making subject lines!

3. “FRIENDLY SUBJECT LINES” ARE THE MOST POWERFUL:

They get the best results!

It took me awhile to get that into my head. I have an undergraduate degree in newspaper journalism and wrote for my college and small town newspapers.

Newspaper headlines are different than email subject lines. Newspaper headlines are less personal.

When writing your subject lines; write them like you’re sending it to a friend in an email.

That means, anyone should be able to write a good email subject line!

EXAMPLE: Hey Bob, Check Out This Amazing Mailer!

Write like your readers are your friends.

4. THINK ABOUT YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE:

What kind of prospects do your subject lines attract?

EXAMPLE: This Is Excellent For Multi Tasking Mom’s!
EXAMPLE: This Is Excellent For Former Military Officers!

Who do you think would be curious about the subject lines?

… Confident Moms and successful military officers. Sounds like they would make good team members to me!

5. WRITE YOUR SUBJECT LINES WITH AN ELEMENT OF CURIOSITY:

Humans are curiosity seekers! We don’t want to miss out on anything important or we are fearful of missing something that could be urgent.

So, without trying to trick your reader, give them enough information to draw their curiosity.

BONUS TIP:

Email subject lines are less formal than news headlines and even blog headlines.

Despite popular belief; it’s better not to capitalize your words in your email subject line. Think of it. If it looks less formal, more friendly and from a close friend you’re going to get the best results!

I hope these pointers will help you. Feel free to send me a message if you have some pointers you want to add to this.

BOTTOM LINE: your subject line needs to grab your reader with curiosity and build their interest with elements of “URGENCY, UNIQUENESS, USEFULNESS and DIRECTNESS!”

There is a certain email writing mindset that most beginning affiliate marketers get wrong.

First of all, there aren’t any magical writing tips!

There ARE certain templates you can follow, but even then, there is a certain mindset for beginners when writing responsive affiliate emails!

What do they do wrong?

It’s trying to write as if you are an expert or you already have lots of experience.

Most of us think if we write like an expert and pretend to be an expert, people are going to believe what we say!

However; from my own experience, I discovered that my response rates are better when I let the reader know I’m not an expert; but yet I can share info that works.

In result, I actually made more sales.

People really don’t care if you’re an expert, as long as you can give them information that is going to produce results.

Think about it. If you’re not an expert and you make sales and their reading your email; they feel a vibe that you understand them. You’ve had the same difficulties.

And if they know you’re not an expert but you’re able to make sales, then they can do it to!

As long as the information you share is truthful and accurate you will get great email responses.

Another quick tip is just “write like you’re emailing a friend.” You can expect to get better responses and be more believable.

For practice you can join a few safelists for free (if you don’t wanna be a paying member) and take 15 minutes daily to study the ads in your email box.

See which sound like they’re written by your best friend … On the other hand they actually share good and vital information.

Even though I have written affiliate emails for quite awhile, I still don’t claim to be an expert. And, I still continue to write from that perspective. And I still continue to make sales. This is the mindset that has helped me make over 300 sales with Secrets Of The Big Dogs.

Do you want to learn three easy, yet powerful email closes that can boost your sales 99%?

When it comes to AFFILIATE and EMAIL MARKETING, how should you approach formatting your ads?

Definitely, there are different kinds of email formats that work.

However; there are three closes that make up 99% of your sales emails.

What are they?

1. Emotional
2. Logical
3. Fearful

And your most successful performing emails will include all three!

And usually in that order.

You make decisions by how you feel. Always open and start your sales email with an EMOTIONAL plea, question or statement that you know is important to you and your target audience.

You buy with your emotions!

Then; once your emotions settle down you try to LOGICALLY JUSTIFY making a purchase.

In your head you will come up with all the reasons why it’s a good idea to make a purchase.

So, second of all, providing the LOGIC that will back up justifying your purchase is important.

Then finally at the end of your email, you need to touch on the FEARFUL closer.

It usually comes in the form of URGENCY, and SCARCITY. Maybe your supply is unlimited and that makes it urgent that you buy NOW!

Maybe time is running out!

So; touch on all three closes; emotional, logical and fearful. In that order.

Your affiliate emails will be 99% more effective and easier to write because you will have a simple template in your mind to guide you.

Let me give a shout out and credit to Russell Brunson and Stan Stuchinski, both successful marketers in their own right. That’s where I learned what should go inside of each email message.

One additional point is that the “Secret Of Every Success Is Total Focus.”

How much does the subject line make the sale?

How important is your subject line?

You’ve probably spent hours trying to write a good email message; while at the same time, spend very little time on your subject line.

You should spend more time on your subject line and less time on your message.

Read what Jim Edwards says:

“Don’t waste your time creating ads that sell… create ads that get the user to click, call or come into your store.

… Focus your attention on the quality of your hook / headline because that’s where 80% of your ad’s success comes from.”

---

However, don’t feel bad; most marketers make this mistake.

Another secret about email subject lines is that the “friendly subject lines” are the most powerful.

They get the best results!

It took me awhile to get that into my head.

I have an undergraduate degree in newspaper journalism and wrote for my college and small town newspapers.

Newspaper headlines are different than email subject lines. Newspaper headlines are less personal.

When writing your subject lines; write them like you’re sending it to a friend in an email.

That means, anyone should be able to write a good email subject line!

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT GOAL OF YOUR SUBJECT LINE?

Its job is to get people to open your email.

If you fail to do that, the rest of your email is not even important anymore. It won’t be read anyway.

Think about it yourself.

How many emails have you opened because the subject line drew your curiosity, even when the message itself stunk? And you still clicked a link at the bottom of the message!

So, you will get better results in your email marketing with a good subject line and a bad e-mail than you will with a bad subject line and a good email message.

That’s because if you’re subject line sucks, your email is dead. It doesn’t matter. It’s not read anyway!

If this is all new to you; you might not think you can create your own compelling subject lines.

But if you’re serious about your online business, it’s time you break that barrier! As I said earlier, if you can send your friend an email, you can write a good subject line.

Plus; there are plenty of online helps.

One that I could recommend is “Inbox Economics” which includes a complete guide to writing killer subject lines.

Learn to use fill-in-the-blank templates to create dozens of subject lines to get the best open rates and CTRs.

You can also pick up some pointers from Awolacademy. Here they discuss the top five subject lines:

Number 1: “How to” Subject Lines

Number 2: Question subject lines…
Why do you never win?
Anything that’s asking a question immediately makes people open and read. We naturally want an answer to the questions. It makes us part of the conversation.

Number 3: urgency subject lines
People are more motivated by what they can lose rather than what they can gain.

Number 4: mystery subject lines
Example: This Unlikely Will Save My Career
Example: Very Bad Morning I Never Want Again

Number 5: Top X List subject lines
Example: Top Five Ways To Get More Leads
People love lists.

Below are extra tips to remember when creating your subject lines and emails:

1) The ultimate goal of your subject line and email is to get the click, NOT sell the offer. Get them to your sales page.
2) Need examples of headlines that work? Look at your own inbox and see which ones you open and which ones you don’t.
3) Write as if you’re emailing a friend. On that journey let people know who you are. It gives them a reason to read and many WILL because they have something in common with you.

The bottom line is: If you learn to write subject lines like you are talking to a close friend, you will have greater results than if you write excellent e-mail messages.

If you can write an email subject line to a friend, you can easily write a good one for your online business email.
