For myself, so many emails come in everyday. Sadly for the sender, 99% of them see the trash box faster than you can say "Better luck next time."

To cut to the chase, here are some ways to get your email open, read and make the reader take action.

1. Become a trusted sender. You open and read your friends' emails don't you? It's because they know you. It's the same with marketing. That's why it's essential to build a personal list of opt-in subscribers and build a relationship. Show them you know what you're talking about and offer helpful content.

2. An "Extraordinarily Inquisitive" subject line. Spammy looking subject lines are getting trashed like there's no tomorrow. Avoid ALL CAPS. Study and mimic the way successful marketers structure their subject lines. Yours should be informative, motivating and list benefits.

eg. A good subject line:

"Breakthrough Medicine Relieves Anxiety Instantly Or Your Money Back"

A not so good (instant spam box) subject line:

"THE BEST ANXIETY MEDICINE EVER. GET IT NOW!!"

I'll let you study and compare these two to find why the top one

3. The lay out of the email body. Are your emails laid out in a "hard to read" fashion? Or are they just plain boring to read? Use a return after 60 or so spaces. Use paragraphs. Use simple language. Use some special symbols >>>>>>>>> To Grab Attention! <<<<<<<<<<<<

Always sign off with a PS at the end. Your PS should contain a powerful summary of your offer and your url. People are too lazy to scroll back up to the url so have it at the end.

4. Test different times of the day for best response. I find mailing first thing in the morning (EST) is very responsive. Others find that around lunch time is good too. I wouldn't recommend mailing out in the middle of the night (12-4am EST). Not too many people are online in the USA (the biggest market is in the US) at that obscure hour.
