My only advice would be create good content and make it consistent.

Each of my issue title is: “WR: Issue #X” and consistently I get an open rate of around 45% consistently, because I hope people find my work useful.

I also make the newsletter available on the web and provide an RSS feed to make it as easy as possible to get latest issues.

Also, if you use Mailchimp (and I imagine similar) the open rate is not counted if someone doesn't open your tracking pixel. They would only get counted if they click on a link.
