8 Ways To Write Headlines That DEMAND Attention!

Do you know why some sites bring in buckets of cash while other sites don’t make a dime?

Ever wonder why some ads fizzle while others create a selling frenzy?

One BIG reason could be the headline.

When selling things on the Internet you have about three seconds to make your point or lose your visitor.

Click … BANG … they’re gone forever!

If *your* headlines are under-performing then it IS costing you sales. No doubt about it.

* You need a great headline. * You want a great headline. * You’d love to have a great headline.

But how do you create a GREAT headline if you’re not a professional copywriter?

Glad you asked. 

Here are eight tips that will empower YOU to write a great headline today.

1. Review the sites of about 15 top marketers before you begin to write. Never take their copy (that would be stealing) but *do* draw inspiration from their headlines before you begin.

It’s amazing how simple and effective this technique is when you need a powerful headline.

2. Make your headline short. Five to seven words works very well. You can be more expansive in the sub-head, once you have your visitors’ attention.

3. Use a question as your headline. The point of your headline is to get people to stop long enough to consider your site. Asking a question is a great way to do this, if you ask the right question.

HINT: The right question is always one that can be answered by your product.

4. Use an exclamation point or question mark in your headline. It is important to convey excitement in the headline.

5. Be clear. Tell the reader exactly how your product will help them.

6. Use a “number of steps” formula. If your product will solve a problem in a certain number of steps, say so. People love simple solutions to their problems.

7. Use a “number of ways” formula. Use this instead of a number of steps.

8. Use an “in under” formula. When time or money is involved, using an “in under” or “for less than” approach works well. One example is “How to succeed online for under $100!”

I have used the same techniques shared above to write the headlines for my own sites. They are short and they work well.

And effective advertising is a beautiful thing indeed!

Time Management - What Really Works?

Have you ever wasted hours and hours surfing the Internet or watching online videos? Or perhaps wasted hours reading books on time management or spent countless amounts of money on systems that are supposed to keep you on schedule for the rest of your life? If you haven’t, you must have a boss who threatens or terrifies you if work isn’t done on time. The rest of us, particularly those of us who work at home, have only ourselves to answer to if deadlines aren’t met, or possibly the bill collector if we are really bad at it.

Let me let you in on a little secret that may change your life; new time management techniques or courses are not the answer.

Self-discipline is the key and has been since the beginning of time. Do you think the world became polluted all by itself? No, of course not, big business was disciplined enough to keep making money no matter the cost to the world. But I digress, that’s a whole different subject.

Am I saying that you should never take a time management course or learn new methods? No. I’m saying that you should not look for a magic bullet or solution there. Without self-discipline nothing else will matter much. Discipline is the key to any time management plan, diet, exercise regimen, or project.

Now that we’ve established that self-discipline is the most important element in time management, how in the world do we attain that elusive quality?

One useful technique for some people is to give yourself a reward for good behavior. Having something pleasurable to look forward to if you stick to your plan can be a strong motivation and is all some individuals need to be productive. However, some people slip back into their old habits after a period of time. For them, here is what happens. They start saying to themselves, “so I don’t get that reward, I’ll survive.” Then it’s good-bye time management.

So if establishing a reward for yourself does not work for you, then what?

Think back to your childhood. If your parents or teachers were believers in spare the rod, spoil the child, you learned that discipline meant pain. Misbehaving meant pain. Let’s go with that analogy.

Avoidance of pain is a more powerful motivator than desire for pleasure.

In order to keep to your time management plan, make failure painful. No, I don’t mean, hit yourself or get someone else to beat you up. Hit yourself where it really hurts, your pocketbook or your free time. Ask your life partner, friend, or employee to make a deal with you. If you don’t keep to your new time management schedule, you will owe your partner something.

For instance, promise your partner that if you fail in keeping to your schedule, you will cook dinner every night for a week or you will clean up the dishes every night for a week. For a friend or employee, promise him or her a bonus at the end of the week if you don’t keep to your schedule. Now if you don’t stick to that productive schedule you came up with you will pay dearly.

One failure or two and you will become a highly productive time management machine.

You will probably do better if you set this up to be daily rather than weekly. Most people need at least a month to make a plan into a habit. Give yourself at least two months of reward or punishment. Then you are on your way to writing your own book about time management with your newly found time.

In upcoming posts we will discuss what needs to be included in a good time management plan.

Huge Marketing Shift Coming. Marketing Tutorials To Prepare You.

Which do you think is more valuable?

1. Knowing what successful marketers used to do.

or…

2. Knowing what successful marketers ARE doing right now.

Easy right? Why would you want to read the news from a year ago when you can read today’s news?

If we want to be successful we need up-to-the-minute information. We need to know what’s working now.

I make it my business to monitor the pulse of the Internet and stay abreast of what works today.

For instance, at the dawn of the Internet banner ads were a very effective form of advertising but then surfers started to get banner blindness and the click through rates suffered, eventually making banner ads less than a good deal.

This later resulted in a tremendous lowering of the cost of banner ads and now they have become a very good deal again if you know how to negotiate the price, but that will have to be another post.

Anyway I was just told about something that only a select group will know about.

On Wednesday, October 29th, 2008 someone who has sold over $50 million dollars online, is going to reveal the reason behind the sudden change in the way he does business…

…and I want to know why, don’t you?
