Got your attention...didn't it? It's a good headline. One that's making it's creator Allen Says an EXTRA $50,000 per year.
In two-step direct marketing, each part of your marketing system is designed to accomplish just ONE function. Put the parts together correctly, and you have a system that moves your prospect in small easy steps toward the sale.
It's not YOUR job to make the sale. That's your salesletter's job.
It's not YOUR job to deliver the product to your new customer. That's your "Thank You!" page's job.
It's not your HEADLINE'S job to sell your product. That's your salesletter's job.
See my point??
Like I said... Every component of your cookie cutter system performs ONE function...and ONLY one.
Your headline doesn't sell a PRODUCT. It sells an APPOINTMENT.
Here's what I mean...
Your headline's ONLY FUNCTION, is to entice the prospect to stop his SCANNING, and take the time to read the ad.
Here's why this is critical...
In most online ad forums, you've got 5-7 words...and 2 seconds, to get the job done. No matter how great your ad is...or your salesletter is...your prospects will NEVER know that, if your headline doesn't do it's job.
If you have only 10 hours to put you ad and salesletter together. Spend at least 6 of them on creating a KILLER headline.
When you truly understand the importance of this issue, you're ready tostart writing headlines that really work.
Startle them!
Make them curious!
Make them angry!
Make them laugh!
Make them cry!
BUT...Make them CLICK!
DO WHATEVER IT TAKES to make them stop and read your ad!!!
