Want your headlines to produce BIG results for you? Of course you do! You didn't spend all that time creating blog posts, brochure copy, or opt-in content just to amuse yourself, right?
But plunking down a headline as an after-thought ain't gonna cut the mustard. Successful copywriters know that ad copy always starts with a grabbing headline. A headline that reels in the reader... or at least makes them pause to consider reading further.
But remember: research shows that you have less than five precious seconds for your headline to accomplish this task. If your headline doesn't engage your prospect, you'll miss the chance to engage them further.
Here are eight headline styles that have proven to work really well at capturing reader attention.
Tip: Just make sure your headline actually ties into your content. Readers will NOT forgive you for bait-and-switch tactics. And make sure your content is as interesting, engaging, or entertaining as your headline. Make your prospect happy they took the time with you -- and they'll keep coming back for more.
1. The "How-To" Headline

2. The Testimonial Headline
