Creating An Email Subject Line
When building an email, the subject line is crucial as it is the first thing that the recipient sees and determines whether they will open the email or not. It is important to have an enticing title that either poses a question or leaves something out to try and get them to click and open that email. Kajabi recommends using fewer than 50 characters because it looks better on mobile devices. The preview text is something that the recipient is going to see on mobile, so it is important to try and entice them to open the email.
For example, if the email is about the single biggest mistake in online business, the subject line could be "The Single Biggest Mistake in Online Business." The preview text could be something like "Learn what it is in this week's email." It is important to have a strategy when building out every single step of your email, including the subject line. The aim of the subject line is to get them to open the email, so try and have an enticing title.
Building The Email Content

The subject line should be enticing and aim to get the recipient to open the email. The preview text should also be attention-grabbing and visible on mobile devices. The main email content should be clear and concise, with a single call to action and a strategy in mind. Personalization can also be added, such as using the recipient's first name. A logo or image can be included, as well as a read more or watch video call to action button. It's important to keep the email design simple to avoid it being marked as spam. Finally, make sure to structure the email in a way that leads the recipient to the desired action, whether it's watching a video or visiting a website.
