I'm 34.

I've been writing email subject lines for 10 years.

I still run tests religiously.

Here are 10 things I learned this month

1/

"Read this" classic opener.

Almost always works

2/

"Famous Author" got em

3/

"is this a lie" << DIDN'T work! 🤯

4/

Short and sweet

5/

The "writer" identifier didn't grab as many as I thought

6/

no caps grabbed eyes

7/

"Nobody cares" was a winner.

This line beat it

(Why I keep testing)

8/

"read this" at the end DIDN'T work!

9/

I figured "ChatGPT" would get more clicks than "AI"

Wrong.

10/

The warning beats the scandal

11/
