How To Be Less Stupid And More Confident

5 replies
Quite a headline, huh? That headline was in my email this morning. And though I didn't want to identify with being stupid or in lacking confidence I clicked on the message and there was an excellent article there with a link to buy a self confidence course. I clicked the link but didn't bite on the purchase.

My point here is in grabbing the attention of your customers. So many people here are frantic about impressing Google so they can get on page one or two but when they do and when someone actually clicks to their site the visitor is often let down in a big way because there's no compelling reason to do a damned thing when they get there.

Think of that for a moment. Isn't it about drawing them in so they eventually become customers? Many people here are putting the cart before the horse in trying to drive traffic to sites that are lukewarm at best.

Anyway, if you've seen a great email headline or any outstanding attention grabber, please share it in this thread.

    I think stuff like this is a lot better in e-mail than asking people to share it on social media.

    That reminds me, I have a good headline book to read soon.

    It is amazing what a good sales copy and headline can do. You can have the greatest product on the market at the best price, and your competition can have junk at a higher price. If they have these things and you don't, then even with the better product at a better price, you can easily be outsold. Never underestimate the power of words.

    I heard the most successful one is, "I can help you."
