Did you know that your headline is read five times more often than your text? That is why it is so important to know the rules and the magic words!
Rules:
- please always keep in mind for your headline: your prospect should see “what´s in it for me” right away. Answer the question from the perspective of your customer . How does the product improve your customer’s life. E.g.: “This method saves you tons of money”.
- Do something different. Try “Headline”. Tell your prospect if you found something new. Something interesting like: if more of my customers would know this … E.g.: “Experts confirm: Everyone, whether studying or not, can become financially free with internet marketing”. Or :”Stock market experts predict: stock market crash at the end of 2020″.
- don´t try to be funny, no puns!
e.g.: “This is runtastig”. What does this mean? Is there software that runs fast? Or is this something from the fitness niche?
better: “This fitness program makes you run three times faster than ever before” - Never, really never, try to sell your product in your headline! This answers no question.
