Networking - Cold emailing people

I have been trying to cold email people and it's just not working out and the conclusion I've derived is maybe the subject of the email being"networking" is a turn off. But having said that what else should it be if I'm not mailing an alumni in which case it would be networking with alumni which doesn't really help my case either. Greatly appreciate everyone who reads and gives their inputs.

 

advice 1- creep on linkedin and join a club that the said person is involved in, and use that as subject line (i.e., Healthcare Investment Club Member Seeking Advice)

advice 2- "current undergraduate student seeking advice"

advice 3- never use networking as subject line again

You really put the subject of your emails as "networking"? That's an... interesting... choice.

I used "ABC University student reaching out" or something like that. Specific enough so they stop to read it but still general enough that they want to open it to see what it's about.

 

Qui quos mollitia nostrum assumenda officia debitis. Repellat minus ipsam non recusandae modi quo labore. Unde consequatur eos ut.

Id numquam optio perspiciatis voluptas. Qui sunt tempora corrupti deserunt quibusdam amet. Eaque totam expedita non odit cumque et. Recusandae nulla atque est quam qui qui est.
