Miss-leading Email Subjects

It seems to me that some marketers are ge4tting more and more desperate to get people to open their emails, so much so that over the last few months there seems to be a whole spate of very miss-leading email subject line's used, they're getting so bad that they resemble spam...

In fact a lot of them are now getting marked as spam and "quarantined" by my spam filter system!

here's a few of the worst examples that I've seen over the last few months, but please feel free to post a comment and share any that I've missed that you particularly dislike!

Miss-leading Email Subjects that I hate: -

Just spotted a very interesting post on one of the blogs I follow!</p>

It's on Matthew Glanfield's BBO Institute Blog and you can read the whole post about a very dodgy (imho) Wholesale Dropshipping Directory Site Here

What started as a free trial, turned in to a $1 trial, and ended up costing over $100!

Matt's been kind enough to share the details with his readers so they can steer clear of a company who seem to have a somewhat unethical way of doing business...

I recommend checking the full story out..

Phil Gosling is one of those few marketers who's emails I really look forward to reading.</p>

He doesn't send one out very often, but when he does it's like a work or art, both entertaining and packed full of useful info.

Here's a classic example that landed in my inbox a few minutes ago:

Movie Script.

Internet wars episode one.

(These words moving away from you with star-field backdrop. Dramatic music.)

A long time ago in a Galaxy far far away the evil empire under the Sith Lord " Internet expert" had rebuilt the disabled death Star and created a new weapon even more powerful. The new "Google star" was armed with a revolutionary mind interference ray called, the Adword.

Armed with this new weapon entire worlds could be enslaved by believing the myth of passive advertising. Thousands of star systems and their populations fell under its influence. Previously sane, intelligent people were instantly bamboozled into sending millions of star credits to the Google star in the hope of building businesses of their own whereas, in fact, it only made the Sith Lord and his Google star even more powerful.

Here's a typically "overhyped" (imho) email that just dropped in to my inbox, I won't name names, but he's fairly well know in the IM world..

-> 44 spots. That's it.
->
-> 44 spots is all we have left in the New Beginnings:
-> Growing Beyond Me Too event.
->
-> We're still a couple weeks out, and the buzz on this
-> spectacular marketing and business building
-> extravaganza is rising to a fever pitch.

Fever Pitch!
Really?
Then how come there are still 44 places left with only a couple of weeks to go..

-> tremendous workshops...the first ever Maven Builder
-> Bootcamp...the fabulous Disney location...
->
-> And that's all very cool. But one thing still bugs me.
->
-> I was just scanning through the list of attendees
-> today, and I didn't see your name. And frankly, I'm
-> scratching my head.
