Guess I’ve been holding out on you:
“Ben, how come you don’t talk about email subject lines very much? I want to know how you come up with subject lines that get opened!”
He’s right!
I haven’t talked about subject lines in ages.

Read ’em.
Swipe ’em.
Profit from ’em…

After all, if you don’t have a list, then writing great emails is about as helpful as going to a bank you don’t have an account with.
