      Perhaps you might like to run past Sean D’Souza
      why you feel this information is by your personal
      definition 'droll'?

      Let me know how you get on with that one.

    Mark, I think that comment was about including nothing but a link in your post. Could be perceived as a clever answer to the question in your headline.

    I take it that wasn't intentional.

      Not intentional no.

    Good headlines are pretty easy to write if you just follow a headline formula.

    One formula that Eben Pagan has shared before is this:

    [How to][get great result][in short time frame][with little to no risk].

    So some examples would be:

    1. How to increase your sales by 176% in 24 hours with this headline-writing secret, guaranteed!

    2. How to lose 26 lbs in 60 days with one easy diet trick, guaranteed weight loss or your money back!

    3. How to get laid in the next 24 hours using my favorite flirting secret, with literally ZERO chance of rejection!

    I just made those up in 2 minutes off the top of my head. Also, if you add the word "secret" to your headline, you can usually make it more effective.

      I like this method for writing headlines. With a little practice using this method and reading swipe copy on a regular basis anyone should be able to write high converting headlines. I suppose taking a course in copywriting would be useful but there is so much great swipe copy out there that it is accessible to anyone. Read 20 minutes of swipe daily and you get a feel for it. Then it's test and tweak.

      Indeed Pusa,

      That's a page aimed at getting you to buy a course, though, one I cannot hope to afford this year (too many expensive commitments) anyway.

      It's not a link to an ad as such. No motive here but to share good high quality info, no affiliation. Ignore the ad and read the info, that's why I posted it up and Sean D'Souza he's well known for being a provider of top quality marketing and copywriting info.

      Have a look at Content marketing software that works | Copyblogger and you'll see a great deal of posts by him which may or may not help you depending on where you are in your copywriting career.

        Sean D'Souza's stuff is definitely high quality. He is currently giving away the brain audit course for free as well I believe.

          Actually not the Brain Audit course, but the Brain Alchemy Masterclass (the Brain Audit is part of it.)

          For anyone wanting to get a copy of the masterclass, the link given in his emails is:
          Marketing Tactics and Business Strategy: The Brain Alchemy| Workshop Psychotactics

          So far, I've been pretty impressed with the content. He doesn't cover copywriting per se, but covers ... nah, check it out for yourself since my thoughts may well be different than yours.

          He was giving away a killer seminar I have listened to many times.

          The copywriting section with Dave Lakhani is excellent!

    A good exercise Jack is to write out 50 headlines in 1 hour. This will really force your mind into overdrive since you've got just over 1 minute per headline to write them all out in the allocated time frame.

    The first 10-20 main headlines will be easy to churn out but you'll be forced to think more cleverly the longer that clock ticks down.

    Now you've got your 50 headlines down on paper in front of you, now you can pick out the best one for your or your clients needs.

    The rest? Well some of them will come in close to 1st place. These benefit driven headlines you can probably use as sub main headlines throughout the rest of your sales copy.

    Smoking hot,

    most people seem to be drawn to impossible claims of thousands of pounds a month.

    I think you need to shock people enough to get the interest,
    how to make 10k a month with these 3 easy steps

    sounds better than
