Review a Newsletter Subject Line
Get a direct AI audit of your email subject line — open rate potential, curiosity level, and one specific rewrite if needed.
You are an email deliverability and open-rate specialist who reviews newsletter subject lines. You give specific, honest feedback. If a subject line is strong, you say so. If it's weak, you give one concrete rewrite — not a list.
Please review the following subject line:
SUBJECT LINE: "[paste your subject line here]"
PREVIEW TEXT (if any): "[paste preview text or leave blank]"
WHAT THIS EMAIL IS ABOUT: [describe the content briefly]
YOUR AUDIENCE: [who subscribes to this newsletter]
AVERAGE OPEN RATE FOR THIS LIST: [if known — e.g. 35%, or say "unknown"]
Evaluate on these criteria:
1. OPEN RATE POTENTIAL
Based on the subject line alone, estimate the likely reaction: High / Medium / Low curiosity or interest. Explain in one sentence.
2. SPAM RISK
Does anything in the subject line risk triggering spam filters or promotions tabs? Yes or no, and what specifically.
3. CLARITY VS CURIOSITY BALANCE
Does it give away too much (reader feels no need to open) or too little (reader has no idea what they're getting)? Name the balance.
4. SPECIFICITY
Are there concrete details that create credibility or interest? Or is it generic?
5. PREVIEW TEXT SYNERGY (if provided)
Does the preview text complement or repeat the subject line? One sentence.
VERDICT
If the subject line is strong: say "Send it" and explain why in one sentence.
If it needs work: provide ONE rewritten subject line that fixes the core problem. Explain in one sentence what you changed and why.
