101 Greatest Headlines Any good marketer worth his salt will tell you that one of the most important, if not the most important, aspect of a sales copy is….the headline.

The headline is the first thing a prospect see when he looks at an advertisement. The headline is the advertisement…FOR the advertisement.

 

 

 

If you don’t grab the attention of your prospect there and then, he is gonna leave. Period.

And precisely because of this, copywriters spend hours tweaking the headlines, split testing different versions, to determine which gives the best conversion rate.

You will be surprised just how much a good headline can out-pull a less attention-grabbing variant (with all else being equal e.g. benefit, offer, guarantee etc).

 

What makes a good headline? We are looking at something that incorporate the one of the following (or a combination of them) :

  • Compelling benefit for prospects (What’s in it for me?)
  • Curiosity factor (cliff hanger style…)
  • Personalization (YOU.., your name…)
  • Specificity (exact numbers and figures)
  • Thought-inducing (What if you can…? What if you are able…? If I tell you that you can do….?)

How To Improve Your Email Confirmation Rate

Improving email confirmation rateA lot of email marketers will often ask - “how big is your list?”

A valid question. However, I prefer to ask this - “how targeted and responsive is your list?”

For me, quality of the list take precedence over quantity.

 

Quality first and then quality…and then finally quantity. Everyone can buy a whole database of leads but how many percent of that will actually convert into your subscribers or customers?

Now, if you want to ensure your prospects are really targeted and responsive to you, get them to double opt in.

In that way, you can be sure they really do want your information.

“What!…Double opt in???….But you will get a far bigger list with single opt in!”…as many will tell you.

True. But do you consider the following scenarios such as…

 

  • People keying in email addresses with typo errors…
  • People keying in bogus email addresses…
  • People keying in other people’s email addresses without permission instead of their own…

 

Do you? Do you think such leads you will get are quality? Not a chance.
