44. 4 Tips To Write Subject Lines That Get Opened


Listen Later

In this episode, Samantha breaks down the psychology behind email subject lines and why it's one of the most important pieces of copy you'll write. Inspired by a Threads conversation with a friend who couldn't crack her open rates, Sam turned three voice notes of advice into a full episode on how to write subject lines that get clicked.

If you write your own sales emails and then stare at the subject line field like it's a final exam you didn't study for, this one's for you.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why 69% of people mark an email as spam based on the subject line alone (and what to do about it)
  • The curiosity gap concept and how to use it to make people desperate to open your email
  • Four tactics Sam uses to write subject lines that stop the scroll, including the one-word subject line and the "steal the most outrageous line" method
  • What formatting choices (brackets, caps, emojis) move the needle and which ones tank your deliverability
  • The subject line mistakes that are quietly destroying your open rates, including false urgency, spam trigger words, and why first-name personalization is losing its edge
