About Author
Introduction
When it comes to selling a product, nothing is more important than the
quality of the product itself. If you have a good product, pitching it and
attracting word-of- mouth advertising will be easy. Customers will recognize
that it has intrinsic value as a product; and they will purchase it and spread
the word to their friends.
However, when it comes to selling that same product, the next most
important thing is the quality of your sales pitch. Even if your product is
excellent, you won’t get a lot of word-of-mouth advertising unless at least a
few brave souls are willing to purchase the product initially to kick things off.
And the only way that will happen is if you persuade them to. And that’s
where copywriting comes in.
Copywriting, for the uninitiated, is the art of using sales copy to persuade
readers to become buyers. In the remainder of this guide, we will focus on
the most important part of any piece of sales copy: the headline. In chapter
1, we will briefly consider what should go into a good headline. And in
chapter 2, I will give you an exhaustive list of “fill-in-the-blanks” headlines for
all occasions.
Chapter 1: Crafting a Winning Headline
There are five important components of any winning headline. We will
consider each of them in this chapter.
Speak to Your Audience
If you ever hire a top-notch copywriter (i.e. the ones who charge hundreds or
even thousands of dollars per page), one of the first things they’ll ask you to
do is to procure some market research about your segment or to help them
to conduct that research.
The purpose of this research is simple. In order to write good copy, a
copywriter needs to speak directly to her readers—not to “readers in
general.” This means you must know something about your prospective
buyers: their ages, their tastes and preferences, and their nationalities, for
instance.
You will want to know where they come from, what they want, and—most
importantly why your product would be a good solution to a problem or
problems they have. Without having this information, your chances of
writing compelling copy are poor.
With this in mind, think hard before you start hammering out your first
headline. Think about your target group, their desires, and the particular
problem that your product solves. Make sure you address it succinctly and
clearly in your headline.
Use Psychological Trigger Words
When it comes to writing a winning headline, few things are more important
than psychological triggers. These are words that evoke a positive
psychological response in your readers, independently of whatever is said
about your product.
As an example, “free” is a psychological trigger word. So, if you’re planning to
give a product or service for free, include the actual word in your headline. It
will catch visitors’ eyes and lure them to read further.
Another powerful trigger word is “tested.” For instance, you might say
something like “This book contains dozens of tested and proven strategies
that I have used for years.” This will convey to the reader that your product
isn’t just any product; it is one that has been evaluated tested by many trials
over time.
Other powerful triggers include words like pioneering, surefire, crammed,
soar, growth, explosive, secret, scientific, research, breakthrough, truth,
unlimited, and special.
So, next time to you write a headline or even fill in a headline template
remember to employ some of these psychological trigger words, so you can
be sure to draw the greatest possible emotional response from your readers.
Read News Headlines for Inspiration
At first, you might not see a clear analogy between sales letter headlines and
news headlines, but in fact, it is there. Many of the greatest copywriters use
elements of news headlines in their copy; and sometimes even write
headlines as if they were news headlines.
To get a better idea of how this works, go to http://www.cnn.com or
http://www.bbc.com, where you can find hundreds of different news
headlines each day. What you’ll find is that the “newsworthy” portion of the
story is always captured in the headline.
Why is this important? And how does it reflect on your own efforts? It
suggests that if you want your headlines to have a newsworthy appeal, then
you should craft them in the same way.
For instance, instead of citing a good feature of your product in the headline,
cite the thing that is most different. For instance, if a blogger were to
announce that your product was finally released, they might say something
like “Internet marketer revolutionizes the net with product that optimizes a
site for search engine traffic in ways never seen previously.”
In general, focus on the most important benefit—the one that is
newsworthy.
Use a Good Headline Formula
It might sound formulaic and trite, but it works. Start your headline with
something like “Who Else Wants to Make $700 in the next 3 days?” or “Who
Else Wants to Learn the Secrets of a Reclusive Millionaire?” or “Who Else
Wants to Become Wealthy Beyond Your Wildest Dreams?” All of these
different approaches will work; and they will work because you started with
“Who Else Wants to”
Alternatively, consider starting with something like “What Everyone Should
Know About” This will draw readers in by playing upon their lack of
knowledge about what you are going to say. They will think “Well, I don’t
know that secret, so maybe I should read on.”
When it comes to headline formulas, you have a lot of options. Pick a good
one and put it to use.
State a Major Benefit or Propose a Puzzling Question
When writing headlines, your goal should always be to hook the reader. You
don’t have to provide useful information, tell them something new, or offer
them the world. All you have to do is to give them a very, very good reason
to keep reading. And if they stick around to do that, they might just learn
something about your product and could even buy it as a result.
So how can you do this? There are several ways.
1. State a Benefit that Your Product Provides that None Others Can. When it
comes to drawing a reader in, few things work better than clearly
differentiating your products from all others. If you do this successfully, your
readers will have an “ah-ha” moment, where they realize why your product
is so much better than the other options available. If you can get them to do
this while they’re reading the headline rather than later this is always good.
2. Suggest a Benefit by Issuing a Brash Order. Rather than asking a question
or softly stating a benefit, forcefully order your reader to do something. For
instance, “Become a millionaire in just two years!” or “Live an extra 20 years
by applying these 7 secrets of longevity.” By commanding your readers to do
something, rather than suggesting it, you will subconsciously push them to
take action.
3.Propose a Question. For instance, ask your readers what they would do if
they suddenly became rich overnight. How would they spend that money?
What charities would they donate to? Use this as a way to make them think
about how their lives will change after using your product. And then
specifically say that your product will make it happen.
4.Frame Your Product’s Primary Benefit as a Newsworthy Item. As
mentioned earlier, an excellent way to hook people with your headline is to
make it newsworthy. Consider writing it in the third person, talking about the
newsworthy features of your product, and framing it as an important
development in your niche. If your product is indeed innovative and good,
then there’s nothing wrong with using this method.
In short, use your headline to communicate at least one major benefit of
your product; or to propose at least one thought-provoking question.
Chapter 2: Headline Templates
In this chapter, we will consider some “fill-in-the-blanks” headlines. All you
have to do is pick a headline from the correct category, fill in the blanks, and
add it to the top of your newsletter or squeeze page. Shape the rest of your
copy around your chosen headline.

Conclusion
Writing good copy is never an easy task. And perhaps hardest of all is writing
a good headline. Striking the right balance between enticing the reader with
language and hooking them with a benefit or a question can often be very
difficult. Fortunately for you, this guide takes much of the hard work out of
the process.
From here, you determine your own path. You might start by using the
advice I’ve given for writing headlines. Craft a few of your own, think about
how you would react to them, and ask a friend, neighbor, or fellow marketer
to evaluate the quality of your copy.
Once you have gotten the hang of writing headlines in general, think harder
about your niche in particular. Do market research if needed; and think long
and hard about what the average buyer thinks like and what that average
buyer wants from a product like yours.
After you have answered these questions, grab a headline from one of the
templates above; and then tailor it to your particular needs. Start by filling in
the blanks, but if needed, go further and make alterations to the rest of the
headline.

  • 5. Introduction When it comes to selling a product, nothing is more important than the quality of the product itself. If you have a good product, pitching it and attracting word-of- mouth advertising will be easy. Customers will recognize that it has intrinsic value as a product; and they will purchase it and spread the word to their friends. However, when it comes to selling that same product, the next most important thing is the quality of your sales pitch. Even if your product is excellent, you won’t get a lot of word-of-mouth advertising unless at least a few brave souls are willing to purchase the product initially to kick things off. And the only way that will happen is if you persuade them to. And that’s where copywriting comes in. Copywriting, for the uninitiated, is the art of using sales copy to persuade readers to become buyers. In the remainder of this guide, we will focus on the most important part of any piece of sales copy: the headline. In chapter 1, we will briefly consider what should go into a good headline. And in chapter 2, I will give you an exhaustive list of “fill-in-the-blanks” headlines for all occasions.
  • 6. Chapter 1: Crafting a Winning Headline There are five important components of any winning headline. We will consider each of them in this chapter. Speak to Your Audience If you ever hire a top-notch copywriter (i.e. the ones who charge hundreds or even thousands of dollars per page), one of the first things they’ll ask you to do is to procure some market research about your segment or to help them to conduct that research. The purpose of this research is simple. In order to write good copy, a copywriter needs to speak directly to her readers—not to “readers in general.” This means you must know something about your prospective buyers: their ages, their tastes and preferences, and their nationalities, for instance. You will want to know where they come from, what they want, and—most importantly why your product would be a good solution to a problem or problems they have. Without having this information, your chances of writing compelling copy are poor. With this in mind, think hard before you start hammering out your first headline. Think about your target group, their desires, and the particular problem that your product solves. Make sure you address it succinctly and clearly in your headline. Use Psychological Trigger Words When it comes to writing a winning headline, few things are more important than psychological triggers. These are words that evoke a positive psychological response in your readers, independently of whatever is said about your product. As an example, “free” is a psychological trigger word. So, if you’re planning to give a product or service for free, include the actual word in your headline. It will catch visitors’ eyes and lure them to read further. Another powerful trigger word is “tested.” For instance, you might say something like “This book contains dozens of tested and proven strategies that I have used for years.” This will convey to the reader that your product isn’t just any product; it is one that has been evaluated tested by many trials over time.
  • 7. Other powerful triggers include words like pioneering, surefire, crammed, soar, growth, explosive, secret, scientific, research, breakthrough, truth, unlimited, and special. So, next time to you write a headline or even fill in a headline template remember to employ some of these psychological trigger words, so you can be sure to draw the greatest possible emotional response from your readers. Read News Headlines for Inspiration At first, you might not see a clear analogy between sales letter headlines and news headlines, but in fact, it is there. Many of the greatest copywriters use elements of news headlines in their copy; and sometimes even write headlines as if they were news headlines. To get a better idea of how this works, go to http://www.cnn.com or http://www.bbc.com, where you can find hundreds of different news headlines each day. What you’ll find is that the “newsworthy” portion of the story is always captured in the headline. Why is this important? And how does it reflect on your own efforts? It suggests that if you want your headlines to have a newsworthy appeal, then you should craft them in the same way. For instance, instead of citing a good feature of your product in the headline, cite the thing that is most different. For instance, if a blogger were to announce that your product was finally released, they might say something like “Internet marketer revolutionizes the net with product that optimizes a site for search engine traffic in ways never seen previously.” In general, focus on the most important benefit—the one that is newsworthy. Use a Good Headline Formula It might sound formulaic and trite, but it works. Start your headline with something like “Who Else Wants to Make $700 in the next 3 days?” or “Who Else Wants to Learn the Secrets of a Reclusive Millionaire?” or “Who Else Wants to Become Wealthy Beyond Your Wildest Dreams?” All of these different approaches will work; and they will work because you started with “Who Else Wants to”
  • 8. Alternatively, consider starting with something like “What Everyone Should Know About” This will draw readers in by playing upon their lack of knowledge about what you are going to say. They will think “Well, I don’t know that secret, so maybe I should read on.” When it comes to headline formulas, you have a lot of options. Pick a good one and put it to use. State a Major Benefit or Propose a Puzzling Question When writing headlines, your goal should always be to hook the reader. You don’t have to provide useful information, tell them something new, or offer them the world. All you have to do is to give them a very, very good reason to keep reading. And if they stick around to do that, they might just learn something about your product and could even buy it as a result. So how can you do this? There are several ways. 1. State a Benefit that Your Product Provides that None Others Can. When it comes to drawing a reader in, few things work better than clearly differentiating your products from all others. If you do this successfully, your readers will have an “ah-ha” moment, where they realize why your product is so much better than the other options available. If you can get them to do this while they’re reading the headline rather than later this is always good. 2. Suggest a Benefit by Issuing a Brash Order. Rather than asking a question or softly stating a benefit, forcefully order your reader to do something. For instance, “Become a millionaire in just two years!” or “Live an extra 20 years by applying these 7 secrets of longevity.” By commanding your readers to do something, rather than suggesting it, you will subconsciously push them to take action. 3.Propose a Question. For instance, ask your readers what they would do if they suddenly became rich overnight. How would they spend that money? What charities would they donate to? Use this as a way to make them think about how their lives will change after using your product. And then specifically say that your product will make it happen. 4.Frame Your Product’s Primary Benefit as a Newsworthy Item. As mentioned earlier, an excellent way to hook people with your headline is to make it newsworthy. Consider writing it in the third person, talking about the newsworthy features of your product, and framing it as an important
  • 9. development in your niche. If your product is indeed innovative and good, then there’s nothing wrong with using this method. In short, use your headline to communicate at least one major benefit of your product; or to propose at least one thought-provoking question.
  • 10. Chapter 2: Headline Templates In this chapter, we will consider some “fill-in-the-blanks” headlines. All you have to do is pick a headline from the correct category, fill in the blanks, and add it to the top of your newsletter or squeeze page. Shape the rest of your copy around your chosen headline.

  • 14. Conclusion Writing good copy is never an easy task. And perhaps hardest of all is writing a good headline. Striking the right balance between enticing the reader with language and hooking them with a benefit or a question can often be very difficult. Fortunately for you, this guide takes much of the hard work out of the process. From here, you determine your own path. You might start by using the advice I’ve given for writing headlines. Craft a few of your own, think about how you would react to them, and ask a friend, neighbor, or fellow marketer to evaluate the quality of your copy. Once you have gotten the hang of writing headlines in general, think harder about your niche in particular. Do market research if needed; and think long and hard about what the average buyer thinks like and what that average buyer wants from a product like yours. After you have answered these questions, grab a headline from one of the templates above; and then tailor it to your particular needs. Start by filling in the blanks, but if needed, go further and make alterations to the rest of the headline.
