| Great Ways To Get Your Ads Or Messages Noticed |
 |
|
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.

Seems like you failed to follow your own advice ???
I didn't notice any of these with the headline to this post, but I opened it anyway. Maybe just being honest and providing a possible solution to a problem a lot of people have is good enough?

Great point. Think like your customer. Offer value, not hype.
If the subject of this post was [Stop!] *Free 'whatever'!* =)
I never would have opened it.

I'd say that the best way to get your message noticed is to get people
to respond to it. When it reaches about 20 replies it almost doesn't
matter how your subject line looks like.
But it can also help a lot. I suggest you figure out what exactly is it that
people in a certain forum want and then present it in a form of a question.
Ever seen one of those posts "How to make money online?" and about
37 replies to it? You HAD to open it too, didn't you

Ugh. I hate that. When I see that, I think, "Amateurish attempt to get my attention," and ignore it.

All of those, too. In fact, what you've written here is a primer on how to get me to ignore your posts and trash your emails without opening them. All of these little tricks just scream "SPAM!"
