Oh it's true, admit it, you can not resist those titillating
text links beckoning to you to "Click Now" and "Discover Secrets
Revealed" or "How to Explode Your Traffic". You ask yourself,
can they really believe I would be so naive as to click on that?
And then you do! Don't worry you're alright, we all click on
them, and if not maybe we should because there is a valuable
marketing lesson to be learned within. Writing provocative
headlines and titles could be the single most important
advertising skill you can develop. Writing powerful headlines
that command an immediate response and call to action will
stimulate growth and sales faster than anything else anyone can
recommend. The words that you use in your headlines will
instantly determine, in many readers minds, the enthusiasm or
interest level that they will have for your product. If you
can't lead buyers to your offer, then you really have nothing
more than a pretty web page and a complete waste of your time.
Which of the following examples peaks your curiosity and urges
an immediate response from the reader? Headline #1: We offer
great products at fair prices - visit today and recieve a free
offer! or Headline #2: Breakthrough Products Revealed - Save
Money and Get Results. Download Free $40.00 Software Instantly.
Click Now! I hope you chose number two, because no matter how
sophisticated we may believe ourselves to be, in the real world
most people need to be curious and/or excited before they will
allow themselves to be led. In this case led to what ever it is
you may be marketing. There are many great books and eBooks
(electronic books) available that can teach you how to write
effective headlines and copy. It would be time well spent
exploring and using the proven techniques many of these can
offer. The simple utilization of a few words that you are
currently not using in your marketing efforts can change your
response and sales rates dramatically. When you evaluate the
content of most of these books you will notice the common theme
to use powerful words that evoke curiosity and excitement. Words
and statements that define for the reader the value and benefit
that your offer has for them and finally (the internet marketers
body blow and finisher) the immediate call to action. So if in
your internet travels you find yourself twitching to click one
of those links, go ahead - it feels good and it won't kill you
or your integrity. You might actually find a great headline that
leads to an equally great product and you will have then
experienced first hand a simple but profound formula for online
marketing success. Oh yeah and you will have also experienced
the real joy and purpose of being a true...Headline Junkie!
