Does anyone have any good ideas of how to get people to open emails from you if they aren't real sure of who you are?? I have 78 referrals that I would like to email and try to encourage them to do a little more in the program. I guess what I need is a good subject title to get their attention. So if anyone has any good ideas, let me know. Thanks

I would put in the title, Hello you are in my mylot referral list and I want to welcome you to the site. Then in the body put what you want to write. I mean you can basically put what you want in the subject line, but I would definately put mylot referral in there. Good Luck

The referral are not in MyLot, Sure wish they were. They are in another program that I am in at the moment. But I like your idea and sure will try it for the program that I am involved in. Good idea and thanks for responding.

This worked for me but it will cost you. I put in the subject line, CASH BONUS of 50 cents from your sponsor. I had been emailing my new referrals for months and not one of them replied. I got a reply immediately from this email. Of course I gave the bonus for all her hard work. Its ok though I just wanted to reward one referral so I didnt send this email to everyone else. Good luck

That is a good idea. I might try it with just a few people. Thanks for the response. Will let you know if it works.

Keep in mind it isn't emails you send on here but messages. If they don't log in to Mylot, they won't get it. That's more commonly the problem if they aren't active. They just aren't visiting the site. They won't know they have a message unless they log in here.
