How To Write Headlines That Sell

Success in advertising comes to those who learn how to write headlines that sell. No matter what you are selling, if you don’t write a strong headline, your offer is going to fall flat. It’s worth taking the time to learn to do it right if you want to run successful ad campaigns.

The key is to remember that advertising is a BRIEF opportunity to capture a prospect’s attention. When you are driving down the highway, that billboard has to capture your attention in about 2.3 seconds. When you are flipping through direct mail, there is even less time. When scrolling through emails and posts on social media, your eye is quickly scanning and deleting or scrolling. Banner ads that you see on web sites … same story. If that headline doesn’t quickly grab your attention, your eyes are on to the next line,  image, or post.

When creating your headlines, put yourself in that same position and ask, “Would this headline grab my attention?”. Don’t ask, “Do I believe in my company?” because it doesn’t matter. Ask, “Would this headline capture my prospect’s attention and make me want to click?” You must be brutally honest. If you can’t say “YES”, try again.

Now, when I say “headline” I mean a literal headline like you would write at the top of your ad, your capture page, your sales letter, and your banner ads. That headline must grab the reader’s attention and make them want to click to learn more.

Now, here is where things get interesting. There is no one “right” way to write headlines that sell. There are actually a number of approaches you can use. Let’s look at a few examples:
