The Psychology Behind Those Irresistible Headlines

By Sammer Hakim


Do you know how to write a great headline? You should because headlines are the lifeblood of your product/service.


Newspaper and magazine headlines are some of the best you'll see. They depend on these headlines for sales. And since they have about 4 seconds to capture your attention, they better be good.


Who can resist not at least scanning a few lines after reading headlines like this:


"Attack Dogs Maul Helpless Kitten To Death"

"Exclusive:
TV Star's Secret Getaway Spot Revealed"

"How Attractive Do These People Find You?"

"The $1 Million Dare"



Each of these headlines has an element or combination of elements that affect you.


They tease your emotions and leave you hanging like the classical 'what happens next?' scenario. And to satisfy your emotions, the solution is to read the story.


Brilliant tactic, isn't it?


Imagine your customers having to read your materials to satisfy themselves!


That's what these headlines do.


What emotions do you invoke in your sales materials to captivate your readers? How do you plan to get them to read your 'story'?


You should use as many hot-button emotions into your materials as you can. Solve your customer's problems by offering them engaging copy.


Remember, when they visit your site or read your brochure, they are already in the market for your services. They want to make a buying decision. So don't give them an excuse to go somewhere else.


Use stop-in-your-tracks headlines combined with engaging copy and you can't go wrong.

Would You Like To Test Your New Ad?

Try Ablewise.com.

As a free member you get to post 10 free ads which you can target
to 10 cities of your choice in up to 10 countries. To increase your ad
performance you can also target by category and sub-category.


Two very valuable features of Ablewise.com which combine
very effectively with the ad-writing articles you receive are
i) free stats by email and
ii) free ad-modifications.


Once a week you will receive an email from Ablewise.com
with free stats on the performance of your ads like how many
times your ad-headline and ad-copy were viewed.


Using these stats and the next ad-writing article you receive you
can tweak your existing ad and renew it for another week of free
exposure.


Here is a suggestion on how to use the feature of 10 free ads
and free renewal to come up with your best ad possible.


Start by posting just one ad at first. After you receive your first weekly
stats use the next ad-writing article and create a new ad-headline and
ad-copy. (check the stats first - if the previous headline or copy shows
good promise, don't re-write it completely, just tweak it.


Leave the first ad as it is and post your new or tweaked ad using your
second free ad slot. At the end of the next week you will get stats for
both ads. Check how the 2nd ad has performed compared with the 1st.
Use the next article to tweak or rewrite your 2nd ad and post it in
the 3rd free ad slot. Keep doing this until you reach your 10th free ad
slot or you come up with an ad that proves most responsive. (As you
will soon notice, Ablewise.com becomes an online record of your ads,
so even if you lose your ads they will be available at the program)


Now upgrade this sure-winner to a paid ad and start earning for real.


P.S. To receive accurate stats post all ads to the same city using
the same category and sub-category.

All free ads are valid for 30 days. To ensure you have all your
ads continuously active simply login to your account once every
30 days for each ad and use the free renewal option.
