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.
