I need an attractive email subject line to get more people to open my email message. I'm trying to get more local business people to allow me to interview them for inclusion in my weekly blog. (It's free publicity)
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    [Owner's Name] Your Business Sucks!

    Opening to email:

    Your business sucks up some cash thanks to some free publicity I'm willing to give you on my blog....

    [Business Owner's Name] I Can Either Write Something Good or Bad About You: Your Choice!

    Opening to email:

    Hi, my name is...I run a blog....

    I'd like to interview you about your business.

    As far as the subject of this email, while I certainly doubt you'd have anything bad to say about your own business, if you would like to tell me bad stuff to write about your business I sure will! However, I'm sure you'd rather tell me the good stuff to share with my readers about your business.

    [Business Owner's Name] Wow I Can't Believe What I Read About [Their Business Name] Online!

    Email Opening:

    "Wow I can't believe what I read about [Their Business Name] Online! I can't wait to go there."

    That's what people who read your interview on my blog will be saying to all their friends and family.

    Hi, my name is...blah, blah, blah....

    I could probably do this all day. I know some of them are a little rough and need refined, but you get the picture.

      I get an email with that subject line, Your Business Sucks, and I delete it without opening. I don't care who it's from or how cute the follow-up in the body of the copy is. Wait. Yes, I would open it. But only to unsubscribe.
