Help me With My Headline

29 replies
Dear warriors,

I plan to release a WSO soon and I'm having trouble creating a winning headline. I am about to release a product about how to launch a successful WSO.

I want to include the following ingredients in the headline:

- it could take only 2 hours to create a successful WSO
- it will make you thousands of dollars (5 figure paydays) the first time you apply it.

Here are 3 headline versions that I came up with so far:

Version #1
How To Launch A Successful WSO That Could Only Take 2 Hours To Create And Make You Thousand Of Dollars The First Time You Apply It!

Version #2
How To Launch A Successful WSO And Reach Up To 5 Figure Paydays The First Time You Apply It!

Version #3
How To Launch A Successful WSO That Could Only Take 2 Hours To Create And Get Up To 5 Figure Paydays The First Time You Apply It!

The version #3 is my best so far. Can you beat that?

Thank you for your your help! I really appreciate it. And by the way if anyone wants a review copy, I am planning on giving away 20 review copies if you promise to make an effort and post a review on my WSO thread once it's released.

    Better read the new rules for launching WSO'S.

    If you make income claims you will be asked to show proof by the administraters.

        Those are good suggestions but I want to write a headline which reflects the truth as I perceive it and in my opinion there is no super simple system for launching a successful WSO. If it was super simple everybody would do it! Thank you for your input!

    I don't know about either of those headlines. They all look the same in the wso's. If I were you I would try to swipe a good headline from an old magazine.

      I really like your headline but it's too short and you should add some more meat to it. You're on the right path. Also I don't want to create this WSO exclusively for those who haven't launched one yet.

    I looked at my headlines again and they're lame, I know. The wording is a bit forced and awkward since English is not my native language. And I still haven't found what I'm looking for...

    look to use about 3 benefits in your headlines like our copywriters do.

    Pick three things that gain curiosity. Like this.

    "How To Predict A Stock Market Crash Before It happens, Using 3 Secret Techniques The Guys On Wall Street Do Not Want You To Know About! Finally The Little Guys Spills His Gut and Reveals All! "

    Its not a headline I use, I was just making a point! Hope it helps. The More you Tell in Your HEADLINE, the more you will end up selling.

    I have increased sales before by 232% just by changing the headline to be more benefit driven. Hope this helps.

      Awesome headline. I could model my headline following that structure:

      "How To Launch A Successful WSO On The Warrior Forum Using 3 Secrets Ingredients The Big Gurus Don't Want You To Know About! Finally The Little Guy Spills His Gut And Reveals All!"

      That sounds pretty, pretty good if you ask me See how easy it was to put a big grin smile on me face!

      My only concern is whether I can use the words "warrior forum" in the headline, now that the new rules came into play.

    How To Launch A Successful WSO

    Now you've limited your potential buyers to ONLY the people already personally thinking about and wondering how to launch a WSO. You've now lost all the people who may not have been thinking EXACTLY about launching a WSO, but could have been lead to the idea.

    Secrets Ingredients The Big Gurus Don't Want You To Know
    Because this has NEVER been used before.
    /sarcasm

    Finally The Little Guy
    I care nothing about little men.

    Spills His Gut
    Vomits?

    And Reveals All!
    Gets naked?!?!

    Those are good suggestions but I want to write a headline which reflects the truth as I perceive it and in my opinion there is no super simple system for launching a successful WSO.
    Then perhaps your product isn't good enough YET.

    If it was super simple everybody would do it!
    "This system is so simple anyone can do it"

    Can you claim that? No? Perhaps make a better system/product.

    Some cause-oriented hackers recently hacked one of my websites. So I researched what they're about and then donated a large sum of money to the entity they hate the most.

    The next time they hack one of my websites I'm going to donate DOUBLE.

      Many can criticize but not many can offer value. How little of you, little man. It looks to me like you have no clue what you're talking about; offer a solution or go somewhere else.

      I care nothing about little men.
      Well I care nothing about men like you just because you don't care about little men. And I don't want you anywhere near me or my products.

      Because this has NEVER been used before.
      /sarcasm

      You can be sarcastic about things when you have a clue what they're about but it is obvious that you have no clue and you can't provide anything that resembles value in any form or shape.

      Vomits?
      You may have a point here. That's the best thing you said so far. What about "spills the beans"? Would that be better?

      Gets naked?!?!
      Well, dirty minds have dirty mouths... You so dirty!

        How about doing what almost nobody is doing,
        calling out who this is for.

        When everybody is screaming bigger and faster results,
        your prospects tune out, other than the raw newbies.

        I presume you don't want them as customers due to
        the time they suck up and high refunds.

        Back to calling out very specifically who this is for...

        It could be the person who has ambition to have his
        own business that can be started while working a full
        time job...as an example.

        Let's look how that could look in a headline...

        -------------------------------------------------------
        For The Person Who Wants To Be The Boss
        But Hasn't Quite Found The Right Opportunity
        --------------------------------------------------------

        Then you would lead into more about his or her situation,
        so you show you understand, therefore can help.

        Example...

        "You have ambition.

        To be more than you are now.

        To have more than you have now.

        You seek out to be surrounded by the best.

        You just need the right vehicle to take you there.

        One which you can feel proud to own.

        One where you can work on once you are done
        for the day at your full-time job."

        End///

        See how if appeals to the better customer rather than
        the desperate and broke?

        This also has the effect of subtly building high value
        to your offer.

        It's romancing the reader instead going straight for the kiss.

        By taking this approach you aren't seen as needy and desperate
        like those which scream big claims with lot's of !!!!

        An alternative worth thinking about.

        Best,
        Doctor E. Vile

    Respectful criticism:

    -> How To Launch A Successful WSO On The Warrior Forum

    OK, I have heard of this before. Lemme see.

    -> Using 3 Simple Ingredients

    Hmm... interesting!

    -> You're Most Likely Already Aware Of

    Oh, I know it already? Not worth it then.

    ====> My thoughts:

    You already know so many folks hype their
    products up to gain few sales, backed with
    no proof and real benefits.

    As everyone zigs, you can zag.

    You can keep a short sentence in your headline
    like this: "Do you want to taste success?"

    That's the route I'd take in this forum as
    almost everyone is aware of the hype.

    You would be better off steering away from your how to do blah blah blah approach in my opinion. You need to make them read your copy, if you already told them in the title everything there is to know then they don't need to read your sales platter.

    Just put enough info in your title to make them curious enough about what you are going to tell them, that they can't help but read the sales patter. It works every time.

    That is what ewenmack has kind of done with the title above.

    ...For The Person Who Wants To Be The Boss But Hasn't Quite Found The Right Opportunity...

    It doesn't tell you anything about what you are going to be selling to them but it forces them to read your sales pitch to find out....And thats the point of your headline, you are only trying to get them to read your sales bollox...no selling, nothing else, just getting them to read the rest of your crap.

    Start Making 5 Figure Paydays in the Next 2 Hours

    Also, when you create your opening, keep in mind that the people in the WSO section have been fleeced to the bone dozens of times by these "Create Your Own Money Making WSO" offers.

    To your reader, your offer is doing to sound like one of those ads black and white ads in the back of local print magazines which promise a sure way to make money if you just send $5 in cash along with a stamped and self-addressed envelope. In return, you get a letter, in YOUR self-addressed envelope that simply says: "Put an ad like the one you responded to in 5 print magazines."

    That's what your WSO will look like to your readers.

    What's your angle for getting around that?

          He's recommending your youtube training, that's cool but why didn't he just do that and learn to write a killer headline? That doesn't speak well of him or you.
          Dude it was a joke.

          The OP, as far as I know, has never heard of my videos, so NO he's not recommending them. So your ASSumption that they didn't help him write a killer headline speaks poorly of no one but yourself for running your trap before getting your facts right.

          This is your second troll on this post, I suggest making it your last. The next one is earning you an infraction.

            It's not an assumption when you said he was recommending your videos - that is literally what you said, you two have been communicating back and forth in this thread more than anyone else, so it stands to reason. That point aside, there is nothing trolling about my posts, they have a point to them.

            To sum up the point - there is a fundamental flaw in the product that hes trying to market, a flaw so big I don't think a good headline will make up for it. - this flaw is based off of, of course, his target market, which is here at the warrior forum.
