    I love Frank Kern headlines...cuz they work...

    But here is my best to date (open rate) and I pulled it out of
    my own noggin'

    "They MADE me do it!"

    Works for many reasons...

    Whose "they"?
    What did they make him do?
    How did they make him do it?
    What is it?...Sounds like they made him do something awful?

    People can't stand that much curiosity without
    opening up.

    BUT...make SURE you have a VALID & RELEVANT TIE IN!!!!

    Great idea for a thread! Wonder if people will show their
    goodies?

    Make sure you track what happens after your subscribers open the email.

    I've been bombarded lately, as we all have, with phoney lead-ins that make unsubscribing a pleasure.

    Fastest unsubscribe for me by far is "Bad News". Second place goes to anything like that if the email doesn't have a strong tie-in to the headline.

    It's not just about getting your list to open the email, you want them to take action if that is the reason for the email. You need to track the headline as it relates to conversions, not just opens.

    And yea, unsubscribing is an action.

    My best has been "The Answer to Your Question..."

    One that I have seen a lot that always makes me take notice is "You've Just Referred A Sale" It always makes me look to see who it is from.
