Claude Hopkins made clear the importance of headlines when he wrote: "The salesman is there to demand attention. He cannot well be ignored. The advertisement can be ignored. But the salesman wastes much of his time on prospects whom he never can hope to interest...

The advertisement is read only by interested people who, by their own volition, study what we have to say. The purpose of the headline is to pick out people you
can interest."

Did that catch your attention? It sure caught mine because it is the simple - plain truth! If you are wondering how to get it done, here's how to become hypnotic with your headlines.

=> Identify The Ideal Prospect

The very first thing is to wake up the wizard in you. Yes, you can do it. Try to visualize what your ideal prospect would like to hear.

A simple step is to objectively put yourself in their shoes. Another good way to do it, is to visit forums, peculiar to what you have in mind and see headlines that people use to describe what you have in mind.

Since they used it - they've just told you how to catch their attention - simple!

=> Promise One Big, Resounding Benefit

Follow up immediately on step 1 by turning your findings into one BIG, strong hooking, totally irresistible headline that promises a "fire cracker" benefit that just can't be ignored.

=> Create Interest With Your Headline

This one is just a twist - that can be worked into your headline to produce a "stand-still" effect. For instance, you can generate interest by using a statement of fact guaranteed to appeal to basic human emotions and which the subconscious mind can easily
react to.
