Do you post to message boards, e-mail discussion

lists, classified ads sites, FFA sites or newsgroups?

People will usually read the subject line before they

read your ad or message, so it's important they get

noticed. Below are ten simple, but powerful tips to

get your ads or messages noticed.

 

1. Use extra white space creatively in your subject

line. You can add extra blank spaces between your

words or letters.

 

2. Combine capital letters with lower case letters.

Use all capital letters in every other word or use a

capital letter between every other lower case letter.

 

3. Add text symbols in your subject line. You could

use them between words and letters. Start and end

your subject with a text symbol. ( *, $, >,{,] )

 

4. Begin your subject line with the word "STOP!".

People have been trained their whole life to stop

what they are doing when they see that word.

 

5. Ask people a question in your subject line. We

all went to school and were repetitively branded to

answer questions.

 

6. Use the word "FREE" in your subject line. Your

offer should be attractive to your target audience.

It could be free information, software, trials, etc.

 

7. Begin your subject line with an "online smile :)".

People use smiles offline to gain people's attention

and to win their trust, why not use them online too.

 

8. Don't use unbelievable claims in your subject line.

People have or know some who has been ripped

off and trained themselves to ignore those claims.

 

9. Don't use all capital letters in your subject line.

It is hard to read, looks unprofessional, and on the

internet it's considered a symbol for shouting.

 

10. Test different subject lines to see which ones

draws the most traffic to your web site. Also, read

the FAQ before posting a message or ad anywhere.
