How do you come up with a good headline?
by Jason Ryan Isaksen
Some of you may already have a talent for writing
headlines that are
powerful, shocking, unbelievable, and make the reader curious. But many
of
you will hate writing ads and wish there was a better way to get good
ad
copy and headlines. Whether you hate writing ad copy or not, you should
always keep a "Swipe File" to look at for help. What is a swipe file?
And
how do you make one? Swipe files are what the name implies. They are
your
list of great headlines you swiped from ads in your favorite magazines
or
newspapers. Yes, you should be thumbing through magazines and
newspapers to
study the various ads and swipe the good ones so you can refer to them
later
when you need to come up with an ad.
Often times, the best headlines are already written, so
why waste all your
time coming up with new ones? The more time you spend on the internet
and
reading business ads in magazines, the more great ads you'll come
across.
At least once a day, I see an ad that sucks me in, grabs my full
attention
and gets me to respond. I then study that ad to see exactly why it got
me
so interested. Was it shocking? Unbelievable? Strange? Exciting? Or did
it just make you curious? What was it about that ad that was so good?
That's
when I take the headline from that ad and copy and paste it or write it
down
in my "Swipe File" so I can refer to it later when I need a good
headline
for an ad I'm submitting.
You can even copy your favorite parts of the body of the
ad and put those
pieces in your swipe file as well. You'll come to love your swipe file,
especially if you're not great at writing your own ads. Some times when
I'm
really experiencing writers block and I need an ad ASAP, but I just
can't
come up with anything good, my swipe file becomes like a good buddy. I
just
pull out my swipe file and grab something that I already know has been
published and got great results. I feel much better about spending
money on
advertising when I'm extremely confident in my ads and you will too.
As you really dig deeper into this course, you'll find
that in the next few
chapters I'm going to be teaching you some internet marketing
techniques
that are focused purely online. And as you know, the fact they're
online
makes my techniques very easy to track and calculate your conversion
rates(how many sales you're making per advertising dollar you're
spending.)
Just 2 of those techniques coming up in chapter 4 are worth the price
of
this course alone. In fact once you see the results from just those 2
techniques, you'll agree this course is easily worth $750.00. I say
that
because just those 2 techniques have managed to make me up to $755.00 a
day
while doing very little work!
