Your subject line is the first thing your audience sees, and it can make or break your email’s success. This challenge is all about inspiring creativity and learning from each other to craft subject lines that grab attention and drive results.
## How to Participate:
1. Comment in this thread with your best subject line! This could be a previous subject line you’re particularly proud of, or a new subject line you just came up with for a future email!
2. In order to be eligible to win, you’ll need to like at least one other comment in the thread. This is a great way to support your fellow Community members and discover new inspiration from their creative ideas. If you see a subject line that you particularly like or drew inspiration from, make sure to give it a ‘like’!
## Reward:
The comment with the most likes at the end of the challenge will win **a custom, professionally designed email template tailored specifically to their business, created by AWeber’s talented template team!**
Note: _While AWeber Team Members may participate in this challenge to share their insights, they will not be eligible to win._

**Club Inferno News: New Model, New Song Covers and More!**
I used this subject line for a message to my community for my content creation to let them know I had a new song cover out, and a new model for my character/persona I play when I create content. I like to generate hype when I have something new going on and it also gets my community (Club Inferno) excited too!

💜🎄 6 Guilt-Free Holiday Treats
This newsletter was highlighting a blog article where I shared snack and dessert ideas for the holiday.
Overtime, I’ve learned that incorporating numerical numbers in my subject lines boosts my open rates by almost 10 percentage points! If there’s a relevant holiday, I’m working that in too!

I used this “Subject Line” for my very first Blog Post on my [Blog](https://deanwongonline.com/my-7-keys-to-get-out-of-the-rat-race-now).
I also learned that it is prudent to use numbers and add Intrigue to your Subject Line to grab your readers attention, something to pique their interest enticing them to read the article.
This is the Subject Line:
“My 7 Secret Keys To Get Out Of The Rat-Race Now”

I used this subject line in a client email. The email was a discussion on relying on social media vs. other more captive ways of communicating with leads/clients, such as blogs and emails - specifically around “doomscrolling” and accessing content you liked but couldn’t remember who or where on the social media platforms it was. In my mind it was the simplest subject line ever:
**Cat Videos.**

I had great success with increased open rates after calling out a mistake in a previous email: ‘Did you spot the mistake in my last email?’
It really boosted the open rates and sparked several replies. Yes, it was an actual mistake too. Even ended up having some productive follow-up conversations that led to a few sales!

I’m late to the game, but I just saw a great subject line in my inbox.
[PopularWoodworking](https://www.popularwoodworking.com/)’s newsletter used this one today:
_The Boring Newsletter_
Yeah, the edition was all about drilling holes in wood. Perfect.
