Jay Schwedelson and Daniel Murray swap the subject line tactics they'd die on a hill for, disagree about where emojis belong, and ask whether Instagram's new AI coach is a gift or a shortcut to a feed full of sameness. Stick around for the grocery store confession, because a two-second shot of pushing a cart should not take eight takes.慤Best Moments:(02:35) Daniel makes his case for odd numbers like 7 and 5 at the front of subject lines(03:33) Why capitalizing the entire first word of a subject line works for B2B and B2C(03:53) The accessibility problem with leading emojis, and where to put them instead(04:37) How LinkedIn collaborative posts push one post into up to five feeds at once(06:40) Instagram Edits now has AI telling you what to post, and why that could backfire(08:56) The seven-take grocery aisle shot that nearly got Daniel kicked out of the store
