Your 7-figure plan goes bye-bye at midnight

No one wants to hear they’ll be losing money and one of the best ways to get people to open their follow-ups is the scare tactic or put a time limit for which they can act. Many people often disagree with using such a tactic, but profit is the bottom line so if this strategy increases ROI then it’s a winning technique. However, if my clients are using the following in their follow-ups I encourage them to provide value to their subscribers.

Here’s something else that’s pretty cool and I’ve seen it work when bloggers are sending me follow-up messages. I’m living proof that using specific words within your email subject line will increase your open rate and potentially your ROI. You have to remember open rate and click through are two different elements. For example, it’s one thing for the subscriber to open your follow-up and a completely different action for them to click on a link within your message. I believe the best email follow-up message is one which NOT only get’s opened, but pushes the subscriber to click-through on a link within the message. This is why it’s important to have a well-structured message which is easy to read and with a clear call-to-action.

For now we’ll look at some words you should implement into your subject line because they have a high open rate.

The Words People Are Attracted To…

Upgrade – People are always looking for something new and want to keep up with the changing trends. This is why the word UPGRADE will attract an open from your subscribers.

Content – Content is what’s fuels the internet and if someone signed up for your newsletter because they enjoyed the content you wrote than you’ll have no problem getting subscribers to open your email using the word CONTENT

Free Delivery – Another awesome and high impact word which will produce enormous opens when sending out follow-ups. It’s not the word delivery, but the word FREE which is what attracts people to open. Times are tough for people so they’re always looking for a break or FREE stuff which will save them money and provide value at the same time.
