headline-tips-and-tricks

Are you ready for the scary statistic? About 8 out of 10 (or 80%) of people never make it past the headline. Yikes!

This is what you really need in order to sell. You can have the best offer or product in the entire universe, but if people don’t know about it, you’re not going to sell a single thing. That’s what direct response copy is all about: getting people’s attention on your offer. It all starts with the headline. If that doesn’t grab your prospects attention, then you’re way behind the competition. In short, the success of your marketing lies on the power of your headline.

In today’s post, we’re going to guide you through how you can develop your own powerful headline in 30 seconds or less after you’ve answered a few simple but important questions.

Think of this like a Marketing MadLib of sorts – its fun and it works like crazy!

Step 1: Answer these 6 questions:

1. Describe your audience in 5 words or less. (Example: Entrepreneurs who market their business.)

2. Describe the BIG BENEFIT they’ll receive from your services. (Example: Create Your Own Winning Sales Copy.)

3. Describe how long it will take your customer to see a result from your product or service. (Example: Within 48 Hours)

4. Describe one big objection that your prospect has. (Paying for a consultant is too expensive.)

5. Describe something your prospect needs or has had in order to be successful. (Example: Having taken a copy course.)

6. Describe a mistake that your prospects typically make. (Example: Overcomplicating the process of writing great sales copy.)

Now here’s the fun part… It’s time to turn these answers into copy!
