I feel you! When you write tons of comms, headlines are a big pain to get creative with

Hi Amanda,

One interesting thing I've found about email subject line lore is that a lot of opinions are often stated as facts and become sometimes become unduly recognized as best practices. I've been in the email marketing industry since the beginning and I've never found a better authority on subject lines than Dela Quist of Alchemy Worx. Instead of taking a common sense approach (which is often wrong), Dela rigorously tests approaches. He has written a lot about subject line practices. Here are a couple of examples: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/key-effective-subject-lines-originality-find-out-how-dela-quist

I’m an Anthropic and Grammarly fan — I’ve found both helpful!

+1 for Anthrophic — I think Claude is better at writing ideas than ChatGPT
