50 Attention Grabbing Headlines for Email newsletters

So here is a list of “50 Attention Grabbing Headlines for email newsletters. Since I have been spending this month, in addition to shipping holiday orders, focusing on my email marketing, which had not been particularly successful. My goals are twofold – to Grow my list and create a compelling standalone newsletter that people are interested in reading. So far my product announcement and sale newsletters have met with indifference. I believe part of that is due to the size of my list. So I plan to grow my list by offering a “free report” a strategy I have read about and certainly fallen prey to.

The other goal is to create a well written newsletter with information girls and parents can use. I want people to be excited to open the GirlMogul magazine – maybe there will be a fun quote, a cool article, a trivia question. I want the email to be forwarded to others, as another way to grow my list
and I want my readers to trust me and raise their level of confidence in my brand. It will be nice to see my statistics — the number of opens, clicks and subscribers to go up. I am not counting on sales – my hope is that will be a by product of providing a fun, entertaining and useful newsletter.

However, I am not going to discount the winning wisdom – that your headline is one of the keys to getting your email opened. In fact, I am going to give up trying to re-invent the wheel and follow some advice.

So I present 50 headlines from which I will choose a few to try and craft a “winning email newsletter’ that covers a theme that’s important to parents and their daughters…My comments are presented against the list in quotations.
