Writing A Winning Headline


 
Education
When it comes to selling a product, nothing is more important than the quality of the product itself. If you have a good product, pitching it and attracting word-of-mouth advertising will be easy. Customers will recognize that it has intrinsic value as a product; and they will purchase it and spread the word to their friends. However, when it comes to selling that same product, the next most important thing is the quality of your sales pitch. Even if your product is excellent, you won't get a lot of word-of-mouth advertising unless at least a few brave souls are willing to purchase the product initially to kick things off. And the only way that will happen is if you persuade them to. And that's where copywriting comes in. Copywriting, for the uninitiated, is the art of using sales copy to persuade readers to become buyers. In the remainder of this guide, we will focus on the most important part of any piece of salescopy: the headline. In chapter 1, we will briefly consider what should go into a good headline. And in chapter 2, I will give you an exhaustive list of "fill-in-the-blanks" headlines for all occasions. There are five important components of any winning headline. We will consider each of them in this chapter. Speak to Your Audience If you ever hire a top-notch copywriter (i.e. the ones who charge hundreds or even thousands of dollars per page), one of the first things they'll ask you to do is to procure some market research about your segment-or to help them to conduct that research. The purpose of this research is simple. In order to write good copy, a copywriter needs to speak directly to her readers-not to "readers in general." This means you must know something about your prospective buyers: their ages, their tastes and preferences, and their nationalities, for instance. You will want to know where they come from, what they want, and-most importantly-why your product would be a good solution to a problem or problems they have. Without having this information, your chances of writing compelling copy are poor. With this in mind, think hard before you start hammering out your first headline. Think about your target group, their desires, and the particular problem that your product solves. Make sure you address it succinctly and clearly in your headline. Read News Headlines for Inspiration At first, you might not see a clear analogy between sales letter headlines and news headlines, but in fact, it is there. Many of the greatest copywriters use elements of news headlines in their copy; and sometimes even write headlines as if they were news headlines. To get a better idea of how this works, go to cnn.com or bbc.com, where you can find hundreds of different news headlines each day. What you'll find is that the "newsworthy" portion of the story is always captured in the headline. Use Psychological Trigger Words When it comes to writing a winning headline, few things are more important than psychological triggers. These are words that evoke a positive psychological response in your readers, independently of whatever is said about your product. As an example, "free" is a psychological trigger word. So, if you're planning to give a product or service for free, include the actual word in your headline. It will catch visitors' eyes and lure them to read further. Another powerful trigger word is "tested." For instance, you might say something like "This book contains dozens of tested and proven strategies that I have used for years." This will convey to the reader that your product isn't just any product; it is one that has been evaluated-tested-by many trials over time. Other powerful triggers include words like pioneering, surefire, crammed, soar, growth, explosive, secret, scientific, research, breakthrough, truth, unlimited, and special. So, next time to you write a headline-or even fill in a headline template-remember to employ some of these psychological trigger words, so you can be sure to draw the greatest possible emotional response from your readers.
