Great resource!

I think the most important piece of the puzzle--when it comes to writing great headlines--is to write, and be willing to write, lots of really bad ones. Too many wannabe copywriters edit while they write. This is truly unfortunate because it stifles creativity.

Dare to suck.

Commit your worst ideas to paper. Write down the dumbest things your neurons can concoct. That is a measure of your current capacity. Compare that to what you're writing a year later and you'll be amazed at how the new-worst compares to your old-best.
