COPY WRITING

Tip #2

Today's tip is about headlines.

One of the most talked-about subjects in all of copywriting.

I'll make it easy.

How many times have you searched on Google for the best way to write a headline?

You wasted your time.

Here's why...

If you're looking for tips on headlines, or you're trying to study how to write headlines, you're obviously the target audience and everything you read is awesome and your mind starts ticking on how to do it better.

Bad move.

Having said that...

Here's what to do.

Say what you mean.

Do you have a beauty product that takes years off your face?

Say it and don't waste a lot of time saying it. Get to the point quickly.

"Take 10 Years Off Your Face With This Crap"

Give your customer the best reason for buying that you have.

Stop trying to talk to everyone and just focus on the money.

  lol
  
  I also like creating headlines with the "offend the wrong people to stir up controversy and draw in the right audience" method.
  
  oh! and twisting movie, or book or song titles or quotes that have to do with the offer i'm infotaining people about and promoting.
  
  Two of my most recent examples:
  "World War Inside My Head" (twist on World War Z film, told a recent story of the conflict I was facing with writers block in my current eerie novel to my fiction reading audience, and promoting paying for a monthly subscription because paid subscribers would be the only ones going forward to get the endings to my stories.)
  
  and,
  "It's a buffet, man"
  
  A line from Chandler to Joey on the TV show Friends that has always made me laugh, promoting a different, fourth offer to my non buyers on my email list because not everything is a good fit for everybody, and life's about choices. Man. lol

What steams my buns is YouTube Video Titles.

False, misleading, over the top, and silly.

And not just the Part 3 of something that has no Part 3 like movies but stuff posing as news etc.

"Rick Rolled" never dies I guess just evolves.

Most are telling you to never trust them and never come back.

Because it was an EXAMPLE, not a link. The example worked if you tried to click it.

What you readin' here is a pertickulah sticky, heralded on a pertickilah forum, sumtime twennywhatevahish between the origin of the Caaahsmaahs an' all materiyool demise.

Question is: what do we wish to STICK?

Ima updatin' this waypoint WF offerin' in lieu of naht dowin' so bcs I prezoom plenny people touchpoint on its magnitood.

Kinda ... they mosey here for succor steada jus' vaporizin' at random.

Thing is ... wherein lies the gravity of troo discourse when competin' & colludin' bots can conjectyoore forevah 'bout nuthin' they evah knoo?

Their bickerin' might stick one day.

& we all be beaten 'pon thuh ass.
