Default Attention Copywriters- What is your favorite headline of all time?

Hey Copywriter Warriors,

I was wondering if any of you would be willing to share your personal favorite headline of all time?

I just think it'd be a fun exercise!

Cheers,

Brad

Frank Kern's Pipeline Profits System had a "Fast Mover Bonus" that came with this headline:

How To Make People Give You Money And Stuff.

It was followed by this:

Pay Attention Because This Sort Of Works Sometimes

Those just crack me up.

Those are good ones. I love Kern. I'm a huge fan.

His videos are so entertaining and he really knows how to speak. He talks about it in Core Influence as part of his Mass Control stuff.

Pretty sweet.

Cheers,

Brad

I really like that a lot. And I always assume that headlines that I really like a lot will actually be useless.

If You Want Closure In Your Relationship - Start With Your Legs

That was a book title by a rather famous womanizer, released a couple of years ago which I thought was very good, certainly a good attention grabber - all about relationships etc, if I recall correctly.

I love headlines like that. The curiosity/ironic titles.

There's a new book on the rise of Facebook that talks about sex, lies, and money with FACEBOOK

Needless to say I spent a bit of time reading it b/c of that title.

Cheers,

Brad

I still remember this UK Political Ad headline/slogan 30 years later:

"Labour Isn't Working"

The Poster that Won the Election -- Social Design Notes

Both the words and the picture combined to make a very powerful and emotive statement for 'change' (UK style!)

The ad itself nearly got dropped but for the Labour Party kicking up a fuss in parliament.
But they missed one very important fact - the ad photo was a fake...

...the fascinating story is on a BBC web page from 2001:
BBC News | UK | 'Epoch-making' poster was clever fake

It's not fake, in fact it's one of the most famous headlines of all time. You can find the actual page here:

Okay, this will sound lame compared to the previous but as a pure marketing headline you can't beat the classic: "They laughed when I sat down at the piano, but when I started to play..."

This is deceptively powerful.

This one's been running more or less unchanged as long as I can remember. They did change the photo of the creator; from a weird semi-angelic thing with a tuning fork, to a scruffier unshaven fedora-wearing picture. I find it to be rather an improvement.

Hello Everyone.

My first post here, need to jump in sometime.


“Do You Close the Bathroom Door Even When You’re the Only One Home?”

Psychology Today headline by Bill Jayme -

A little weird, but a great combination using intrigue and curiosity. It was a long running control for many years I believe.

Ya, I love that "They laughed..." headline.

It can be used for so many different products or services. I seen it a while go with a company that was selling carpet.

John Caples hit a home run with that one.

Best,

Some of the fun headlines are actually really funny!

Frank Kern's headline got me curious. Where can I find that sales page?

That headline was funny yet commanded a certain level of attention. Nice!

"Doctors Remove Baby's 2nd Head"

This was the subject in an email I did. Saw this at CNN - actually happened -the 2nd head was not alive or anything. I was afraid I'd gross everyone out. But I tied it in to a sales story about a little devil on one shoulder telling you to go ahead, and the little angel on the other shoulder telling you you had better wait- the idea was to get them to make a decision on an offer. Got only a couple complaints, but it was sucessful.

It's not a sales page - it's from a series of PowerPoint slides he used at a 2006 seminar in Melbourne.

I'm actually subscribed to his mailing list, and he is one of the guys that I look forward to receive mail from.

Last I watched his videos, I was stuck on the screen! He looks like Billy Ray Cyrus! He's way of talking was great too. He sounds perfect relaxed when presenting the videos.

Frank FTW!

Works so good you'll wanna run home and SMACK yo mamma!

Loved that one:

On a WSO by Jeremy (of Jeremy & Don) for one of his boot camps

In the right place

"Smack" has gotta have potential somewhere in our copy, it's beautiful...

Advertising Headlines That Make You Rich

This is a fantastic book by David Garfunkle, probably my best buy from Amazon.

"When is a diet pill worth $150 a bottle?"

I posted this somewhere else today, don't remember where, but the first time I heard it I thought it was the most brilliant headline I'd heard in a long time. Imagine making the extremely high price of your product the reason people should buy it.

A few of my random faves...

- "We Don't Care that The Other Guy Does it For Free... And You Shouldn't, Either" (paraphrasing because I can't find the source...)
- "The Kind Mom Used to Use!" (ice bag drop-in ad, next to the photo)
- The Fast, Easy Way to Mend & Hem & Wear it Again! (has a nice rhythm to it... some liquid sewing product promoted by Billy Mays...)
- "Wind Defying Umbrella" - simple, to the point, and definitely piques curiosity.

Just a few

Now, I wish I saved every one of them. I don't know why.

Things about martian boys. Some guy from Europe marrying a

"Most people are too busy earning a living to make any money"

Joe Karbo sold 2.7 mill. books "the lazy man's way to riches" at 10.00 each over 20 years ago with that headline.
