I am just curious what things actually work to get people to not only open the e-mails, but click on links in them. I personally seldom do this unless it is some sort of sale I am interested in.

It won't work for all of them. Surveys and polls can work for just about any niche though so you can look into including those.

If you have a shop, integrate some chances of winning discounts with animated wheels or other games if you can. Those always get a good high click rate. A lot of online businesses do this sort of lottery style discount thing now because it works.

This only applies to people selling items though. If your e-mail is more about getting people to read or engage in something, it is a lot harder to get them to do it.

I only ever click links in e-mails if I intend on buying something. If there is a sale for example, I will click links to check them out. I rarely open an e-mail without any intention to redirect me to an action. So maybe focus on that?

Thanks guys. I am not sure what I could do about it at the moment as I don't sell or offer sales of things right now but I will keep this all in mind!

Even when I don't intent on shopping, I spin the wheel just to see what I won! Haha, I guess if I was more interested in spending money, I would be a target audience for those things.

Haha, I guess if I was more interested in spending money, I would be a target audience for those things.They work because they grab interest. I just have to think of a way to capitalize on this for my niche. I have yet to figure out how to get more people clicking links in my email list.
