We really appreciate honest feedback, especially when people challenge our points-of-view. There's conflicting evidence about the use of "Free" in the subject line. In one of our early :60 videos, we said "Free" was one of the 5 most forbidden words in an email subject line (supporting your point). But recently, we came across research from Lyris that says "Free" doesn't get blocked. Go figure. In any case, thanks for your honest feedback. When are you going to write a guest post? We'd love for you to write something for our readers. Best, Jamie Hi, Terry –
