Not 1 in 10 business owners understand the power of a headline. If you doubt me, just Flick through your local paper and notice how many company names you see at the top of ads. Or weak headings which don't grab your attention.

And yet, most people don't spend anywhere near enough time creating one.

And when you consider the fact many copywriting experts recommend you invest at least 80% of your time on the headline... you'll understand exactly why it's so important.

Because if the headline doesn't grab the attention of your reader... then you can be guaranteed - nothing else will.

So how many headlines should you write?

I always recommend generating at least 30-50 headlines to grab your customer's attention. Then choose the best of the bunch.

And how do you get ideas for headlines? The method I use is to base your headlines on proven and tested formulas.

You'll find a bundle of these formulas in

  • How To Write a Good Advertisement by Victor O. Schwab (available from Amazon.com)

  • Tested Advertising Methods by John Caples (available from Amazon.com)

  • Or my own 180+ page home study course: Cash-Flow Advertising (email me for details)

    But here's a few examples to get you started:

    WARNING:

    Announcing...

    Who else wants...

    How to...

    7 good reasons why...

    Let's make this practical with an example of how a mechanic could apply this to his business:

    WARNING: Don't call any other mechanic until you read this

    Announcing: The mechanic that guarantees he'll fix your car on time... or your money back

    Who else wants a mechanic that specializes in fixing BMW's (perhaps this could be used in a BMW Magazine!)

    How to instantly make your car as safe as possible

    7 good reasons why you should call Scott's Mechanic's right now...

    Remember, come up with 30-50 of your own... circle the 5 you like the best and then nut it all down to your one ultimate headline.
