I was writing an email and looking for that perfect Subject line and it dawned on me that writing or choosing a Subject line in an email is the same as writing headlines for your website, marketing campaign, advertising, etc.

Subject lines and headlines both need to be concise and to the point and intriguing enough for the reader to proceed further (i.e. opening the email or buying a product).

Grab the attention of your audience. Get them interested.
