HEADLINES are one of your biggest weapons for getting MORE PEOPLE TO NOTICE YOUR ADVERTISING, for whatever medium you choose to use.
Now you are using headlines, aren't you? And NOT your logo - that's not a headline. Only one person cares about your logo, AND THAT'S YOU.
Whereas a headline is something every single one of your prospects will be glued to like a kid on a cartoon. Whatever you're writing, you've GOTTA HAVE A HEADLINE.
But here's the deal, there a are good headlines and bad headlines, so I'm going to give you an absolute killer template headline that you should use THIS WEEK in your business.
Remember, a headline's goal is to do one thing only -
STOP YOUR PROSPECT IN THEIR TRACKS AND LOCK THEM ONTO YOUR AD, and some people say you only have 1.5 seconds to catch their attention, so you need to make it good!
Master copywriter David Ogilvy has said... "On average, five times as many people read the headline as read the body copy. When you have written your headline, you have spent 80 cents out of your dollar."
So if you're using your own logo at the top of your ad, you could improve your response IMMEDIATELY, just by sticking ANY kind of headline up instead!
So would you like to know one of the great secrets for writing headlines that literally slap your prospect in the face and demand they open their wallet?
Good, well here it is for you... MODEL HEADLINES THAT ALREADY WORK!!
Don't try and reinvent the wheel, the best way to come up with fantastic headlines is to take what already works, and adapt it to your own business. Isn't that simple?
Here's an absolute knock-'em-dead blockbuster template for a headline:
IMPORTANT NEWS FOR HOMEOWNERS: Don't pay another phone bill until you read this...
IMPORTANT NEWS FOR WOMEN: Don't buy any makeup products until you read this...
IMPORTANT NEWS FOR BUSINESS OWNERS: Don't run another ad until you read this...
Do you see how powerful this is? And I've shown you 3 different versions, so all you have to do is apply it to your own business and you could easily double or even triple your responses!
How about these headlines:

I could go on, but I'm sure you get the idea. This particular headline works on your curiosity. It gets the reader to say to themselves, "maybe I'd better read on and find out."
