5 Juicy Tips to Quickly Create Headlines that Draw Your Readers in & Move them Towards the Sale (hint: this means more money for you).

By now you should know headlines are the most important part of copy. At least when it comes to drawing your readers in and keeping them interested. Here are four quick ways to craft compelling headlines; offer a solution, tell readers how to do it, ask a question or give a quantifiable number. All of these techniques draw your customer in, engaging them in the sales process. Since headlines are so important, it's suggested (and often practiced by copywriting experts) that you should write 50 to 100 headlines before choosing the right one but this isn't always possible (unless you have the Red Hot Copy Headline Creator -which I highly recommend) - especially when you're in a rush. Here are four ways to supercharge your headlines in a hurry. Remember these are starting points - you'll want to juice your headlines up even more to excite and entice your readers.

1) Offer a solution ~

For example: If you don't have time to cook, let us do it for you!

Offering a solution solves your prospects' problems, making it more likely customers will respond.

2) Tell them how ~

How to lose 10 pounds in one week without crazy diets or excessive exercise.

By explaining how your prospect can do something of significance you'll pique their curiosity. Promise a benefit and make sure you can keep your promises.

3) Ask a question ~

Do you want to save money so you can stretch your dollar further in this economy?

Questions engage the consumer. They have to think about the answer and if it's something they're interested in they'll read on (so choose your questions wisely). Make your questions provocative to engage the brain.

4) Give a number ~ 3 Ways we can save you money today without sacrificing your quality of life.

Quantifiable results are appealing. Offering numbered steps or actionable and measurable results based products or services helps show consumers how they will benefit.

Don't forget to punch your headline up with a pre-head or a sub-head for extra impact.

For example:

A pre-head to attract a specific segment of your market:

Attention Single Moms Who Need Help Making Ends Meet ~

Headline: 3 Ways we can save you money today without sacrificing your quality of life.

A sub-head to support the content of the headline:

"Finally there's a system to uncover extra money to create a savings plan without cutting ANYTHING from your current budget."

Again, these are simply basic suggestions and serve as a guide for juicer headlines. Be sure to take your time and play around with the format that works best for your product, services or offer. Take a minute to review your headlines today.

Re: eBay update - [quote="Takuya":1cl184y4]Kevin, I would wait till the very last minute but that all depends on how badly you want to win isn't it. Just an update, I shared with everyone in the beginning of this thread that the Juicy Couture Bag we was in good condition but smelled like it came from heavy smokers' house. We took to the local dry cleaning place and cost us $40 to get rid of it but it's not completely out and we have been very disappointed with the added cost and its outcome. It's like people who smoke inside vehicle when they maintain their car, they think it should be viewed as in perfection condition to others (it's not), just as it was so described about this bag we bought. We didn't necessarily leave negative comment to the seller because we never asked about it on our end. We learned our lesson the hard way.[/quote:1cl184y4] I'm probably going to end up doing that Takuya and I'll let you know how it turns out on Tuesday:) At the moment, there would appear to be a small army of eBay newbies with similar usernames trying to buy up cheap tennis racquets. Maybe they're all employees of a new tennis shop who are looking for inventory? As for your Juicy Couture Bag, what do you plan on doing with it? Maybe you should just consider re-selling it on eBay to cut your losses or donating it to a charitable organization.

Can Anyone Share eBay Do's and Don'ts? - Hi Everyone, I know there are many sources out there on the web on this topic so I am interested in knowing opinions from this forum. But I'd like to hear what your lessons, experiences on eBay buying or selling. Recently, my wife acquired a nice Juicy Couture baby diaper bag at eBay. The material is in awesome shape -- except it smelled it came from a smoking house. We didn't ask about it upfront and now we're hoping that it'll air out. (Speaking of airing out. It's like when I used to sell and buy cars, people who drove "well maintained" vehicles but smoked inside didn't realize smoking completely devalued the car because it would never come out 100%). Anyway, I don't have a lot of experiences with eBay and haven't really learned to trust this way of trading money for goods. But I am sure people have in this forum have had great experience so if anyone like to share what you know, I thought this will benefit the rest of the community. I'm interested in knowing and referring to something you've personally learned and experienced and not links referencing to other sources on the web.
Re: What Do you Prefer More - Time or Money - [quote="vsl.online":24reie3m]I definitely would go for time. And it's not because I had enough money or a lot already but because I know with quality time I can have the best time of my life... and think of ways to earn more money of course. And just like the late George Carlin used to say: [i:24reie3m]"People tend to spend so much time earning a living, that hey forget to earn a life"[/i:24reie3m]. Now this is so true. GooD huh![/quote:24reie3m] Awesome quote! I'm greedy and want both. I would much rather have the time to do what I enjoy doing. But, unfortunately you have to have money in order to get to that point. When it comes down to it you're gonna need both. It's a losing battle of time vs. money. Money doesn't buy happiness by any means, but it sure helps. I'd be a lot happier knowing my bills are paid for and not having to worry about paying for food or other necessities. In the end, we all need money.
