I just read “100 Best Email Opening Lines To Boost Response Rates [2025]” on Designmodo, and let me tell you—this isn’t your average “hope you’re well” advice. This guide flips the script on robotic openers and proves that your second sentence might be your real secret weapon.

We already obsess over subject lines. But what happens after they click? That’s where these 100 opening lines shine. Whether you’re selling, following up, or just trying to spark a connection, these openers can stop the scroll and make people feel something.

And feeling something = more replies.

Key Takeaways:

• ⚡ Witty wins. “This email isn’t urgent, but it is unusually good.” Enough said.

• 💼 Professional doesn’t mean boring. Try: “Straight from our brain to your workflow: here’s something worth knowing.”

• 🧪 A/B test your openers. Treat them like mini subject lines—track what drives clicks and replies.

• 🧠 Use AI as a creative partner. The guide even recommends letting tools like Postcards suggest personalized intros.

I joined Ryan on Grow Your Video Business to talk about a topic that gets a bad rap but delivers serious results: cold email.

We cut through the spammy fluff and dig into the strategy I’ve used to help hundreds of creatives book dream clients—without sounding desperate or robotic.

You don’t need a fancy funnel. You don’t need 100K Instagram followers. You need a clear message, a clean domain setup, and a rhythm.

Key Takeaways:

• 📥 Replies > Clicks. Why we obsess over replies—not just opens—and how even a “no” helps your domain get inbox love. (1:03)

• 🧠 The mindset shift. Rejection isn’t personal—it’s data. If Facebook ads are allowed to miss, why can’t cold emails? (3:34)

• 🔧 Email setup secrets. Why your main domain should NEVER be used for cold outreach—and how to build the right infrastructure instead. (13:22)

I just read The Hidden Enemies of Email Deliverability from Times Daily, and if you’re sending emails for work, sales, or marketing—this piece is your wake-up call.

Because even the best-crafted emails mean nothing if they don’t land in the inbox.

This article goes beyond click-through rates and digs into what’s quietly killing your email deliverability.

Key Takeaways:

• ⚠️ Poor infrastructure = poor inboxing. Misconfigured DNS settings silently sabotage even legit email campaigns.

• 💌 Low reply rates lower your sender score. Silence isn't harmless—it can tank future outreach potential.

• 📬 Your content isn't always the problem. Deliverability often collapses before the email copy is ever read.

• 🛠 You can fix this. Tools and tactics like warming domains and verifying authentication protocols are game-changers.
