Headlines Sell


   Have you ever sat through a long sales pitch and ended up not remembering any of it? It was just too long and boring that your mind drifted off towards more pleasant thoughts. This is because it is much easier for a person to remember short pieces over much longer ones. Which is exactly why big marketing firms use effective, short headlines to sell their products and services.  These same principles apply to long presentations. If you were to give a seminar about book publishing. The majority of your attendees would remember that your seminar was on the topic of how to publish a book. They would not necessarily remember or recall all the details in between such as formatting a book and how to add printable graphics to it.  When it comes to marketing to your customers you want to apply the short and sweet tactic to your campaigns. The easiest way to accomplish this is by using headlines to your advantage.  Taking the time to learn how to write effective headlines can really help you create eager buyers for your products. When writing your headlines you want to try and include as much detail as possible into them.  Look for examples of headlines that attract your attention. The next time you check your email make of note of which subject lines appeal to you and think about why. You may even want to create a swipe file of headlines that you found compelling. This can help you when it comes time to write your own headlines.  Pay attention on social media and look for good headlines. Another fantastic source of headline ideas are magazines. It's the headlines that sells their magazine each month so really pay attention to the way they are used here.  Here are some basic tips for writing compelling headlines:  • Use actionable words - How to do something in 3 easy steps. • Be short - try to use around 8 to 10 words only in your headline. • Use keywords - this applies to using headlines on your blog.
