Did you notice the title of this article? It’s going to be important in just a minute, so glance back at it one more time…

“How I Get Subscribers To Read My Emails”.

Any list publisher in the world knows in order to get subscribers responding to their email messages, those subscribers must first READ those email messages.

The question is - how to pull it off?

Let’s face it, just blasting out a message to your list won’t make the grade these days. It’s hard enough getting the darn thing delivered properly. Getting subscribers to actually read your mailing takes a bit of work.

And yet there IS a very systematic, very scientific formula for getting list members to take a look at your emails and read what you’ve got waiting for them.

It’s called - PRAYER!

Well, maybe that’s not the formula but it certainly couldn’t hurt. LOL

Getting back to the point, it’s all about crafting powerful “subject lines”.

The reason you’re here reading this is because the title in this article got your attention long enough to get you to take action.

So, it obviously worked.

Which prompts two important questions:

1. Why did my title work well enough to get you to read it and respond?

2. How can you apply the same technique I used to see results with your emails?

Let’s break down the subject line I used, “How I get subscribers to read my emails”, into three important keys as we answer those two questions…

Key 1 : Focus On The End Result.

One of the things that undoubtedly caught your attention when you originally read my title was the fact that it spoke of some enticing results that I was achieving, that YOU would like to achieve as well…

“get subscribers to read my emails”

That’s an end result that every email marketer wants to achieve, getting their subscribers to actually open up and read their emails.

So, from the beginning there is this indication, this hint, that I am about to share something that has already been proven to produce desirable results.

That’s all ad copy is, folks, whether it’s a salesletter or a classified ad or an email subject line. The primary objective is to get the reader thinking about the END RESULT.

Start with the end in mind.

What potential results can you promise to your subscribers if they open your email and take a look inside?

I assure you, when a man or woman on the other end of the line gets your email, that’s what they want to know - “What’s in it for me?”

You should never click the “send” button until you have made dead certain that something in your subject line appeals to the wants and desires of the individuals who are on your list.

Specifically, focusing on a desirable result (or lack of results, if you are using the “fear of loss” approach) that is so interesting to your subscribers that they stop in their tracks to read what you’ve got inside.

Start with the end results in mind: “get subscribers to read my emails”.

Whatever results YOUR specific list wants to achieve - as it relates to the mailing you are about to send -

* Speed read 150 pages an hour
* Get free airline tickets
* Raise a child model
* Take an extra day off each week
* Stop headaches for good
* Lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks
* Cut wedding costs in half
* Save your marriage
* Quit smoking in 30 days

After you’ve decided what “end result” you want to focus on, there is a second key to consider…

Key 2: Give Them An Example To Follow.

Learn this and learn this well: nothing - absolutely nothing - speaks louder than personal results.

How many times have you asked a man or woman who has lost a lot of weight…

“How did you do it?”

Just the other day the youth pastor at my church invited me to speak to the youth during a Wednesday night service. I accepted and for forty-five minutes those teenagers sat quietly, hanging on my every word.

After the service was over, the youth pastor came to me and said those magical words, “How did you do it?”

He went on to explain that they are rarely quiet with him and he has a hard time getting them to pay attention. He was so interested in learning how I did it that he dropped by my home the next day to ask me more questions.

Nothing - absolutely nothing - speaks louder than personal results.

* How did you lose that weight?
* How did you get those youth to listen to you?
* How did you get your lawn so green?
* How did you raise two great kids?
* How did you get that promotion?
* How did you teach your toddler to swim?

You get the attention of your subscriber by hinting at results, but you reel them in by giving them details on how you personally achieved those desirable results.

If we have a pattern to follow, we can do it ourselves.

And that’s what we really want.

Notice my subject line: “How I get subscribers to read my emails”.

* How I speed read 150 pages an hour
* How I get free airline tickets
* How I raised a child model
* How I take an extra day off each week
* How I stopped headaches for good
* How I lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks
* How I cut wedding costs in half
* How I saved my marriage
* How I quit smoking in 30 days

Every single one of us that desires a result, wants to know how to achieve it. And we’d rather not go to the pains of trying to figure it out ourselves.

We’d much rather have someone who has achieved what we want to achieve show us how to do it.

That’s why you are reading this article. Does my system work? You tell me.

You wouldn’t be here unless it did.

But, there’s a third key as well…

Key 3 : Use A Proven Template To Save Time And Increase Results.

Now, to be completely honest with you, this technique won’t work if you continue using it every single time you do a mailing to your list.

While you do want to hint at results and even mention personal results, you cannot simply plug in the same subject line over and over again…

* How I make money as an affiliate
* How I make money with joint ventures
* How I make money with my ezine
* How I make money with pay-per-clicks
* How I make money with banners
* How I make money with autoresponders

I mean, that’s gonna get old after a while. It’s gonna lose its luster. It’s not going to be nearly as effective after folks continue seeing it over and over again.

That’s why you need to keep a set of proven effective subject line templates on hand, so you can “copy and paste” them every time you need a “grabber” subject line for your mailings. Watch what your favorite ezine authors do and you’ll come up with some good ones, or you can purchase a set of hot subject lines that you can use any time.

So, that’s how I get subscribers to read emails. I encourage you to do those three things with your own opt-in list…

Focus On The End Result.

Let’s say your website is about dogs. This is just an example. What you would do is join every dog-related message board and online group you could locate. Then read everything you can. You will learn more about what dog owners need to know at these places than anywhere else. Find questions - then find a way to answer them through thought-provoking and entertaining articles. Your visitors will see that you get a grip of their needs and keep coming to your blog to read more.

This tactic can be used to any subject imaginable. No matter what topic your blog covers, you can find bulletin boards and groups that do as well.

Once you’ve figured out the needs of your potential visitors, you need to write articles that satisfy those needs. Writing articles is a fairly simple process. For example, if your blog is about vitamins and you decided to write about the positives of Vitamin C, the process would go something like this:

Introductory paragraph: This is where you would basically discuss what Vitamin C is and why our bodies need it.

Next paragraph: In this section you could talk about some recent studies or findings regarding Vitamin C.

Third paragraph: Now would be a good opportunity to discuss foods and supplements that have Vitamin C and how much persons should strive to get each day.

Last paragraph: This is where you would summarize the facts and perks about Vitamin C in a concise matter to finish up the article.

Of course you can have more or fewer paragraphs in your article. The above example is just to get you started; you can write up your content however you feel comfortable. Some writers plan their articles out ahead of time, but others just begin writing and see how things develop.

When writing articles to satisfy the needs of a specific demographic, try to use a style and voice in your articles that the people you’re writing for will respond to. Some articles may require a formal style, while others would benefit from a more layed back tone.

There are some things you should always do when writing web content. Spell check is one of them. Spelling errors hurt your credibility and make your site appear less professional. Also, proof your work before uploading it to make sure it reads the way you want it to.

And that’s all there is to it. You can find great topics and write articles about them in moments!

Writing articles isn’t as hard as you might think.  By knowing what to avoid in your articles, you’re well on your way to creating effective content that grabs and holds a reader’s attention.  Here are five common mistakes that can detract from the quality of an otherwise great article and how you can avoid them

1.  Lengthy Paragraphs: Paragraphs that are too long simply don’t capture a reader’s attention the way more compact blocks of text do.  Your basic article will normally have a minimum of four paragraphs.  The maximum will depend on how long the article is.  Try to keep your paragraphs the same average length.  Paragraphs that are too long or short detract from the quality of your article.  If you notice a block of text that seems unnaturally long, simply split it up.

2.  Poor Sentence Construction: While good sentence construction can make an article great, poor sentence construction can have the opposite effect.  Sentences should be concise.  Avoid run-on sentences that go on longer than they should.  On the other end of the spectrum are incomplete sentences.  While some articles can accommodate a more casual style, you still want to avoid incomplete sentences because not only are they unprofessional, they can get confusing.  Also stay away from unnecessary punctuation.  Another mistake in sentence construction is inserting punctuation where it doesn’t belong.
 
3.  Too Much Jargon: Jargon is a word used to describe terms specific to a particular career, hobby, or pursuit that insiders frequently use.  For example, there is legal jargon and medical jargon.  When writing articles, a little jargon goes a long way.  Since many of the people reading your articles want to find out more about a subject and aren’t already experts, keep your word choices general and understandable by all.
 
4.  Misspelled Words: One of the biggest mistakes is that of misspelled words.  Spelling errors distract the reader and take away from your status as an expert.  With spell check available in every word processing software, there are no excuses.  However, spell check can miss certain words or interpret them incorrectly, so be sure to manually scan your article as well.

5.  Bad Grammar: Another big mistake is that of bad grammar.  These days, some word processing programs come with a grammar check in addition to spell check.  As with spelling, perform a manual check of your article to search for poor grammar.  By reading over your work and reciting questionable portions aloud, you can easily identify grammar mistakes.         
 
By keeping these five mistakes in mind when you sit down to write your next article, you’re more likely to create an effective piece of writing that gets your message across in the most professional way possible.  Regardless of what you’re writing about or how you’re presenting your message, avoiding these five critical errors can increase your success and let your readers know that you mean business!
