Headline Writing Tips for Those Who Want Higher Profits

By Dr. Jay Host


Not all headlines are created equal which is why so many chase the dream of writing great ones. The ability to write effective headlines is paramount to your ability to get off the ground and start making some money. In a sense headlines are somewhat generic because they all have the same function. So here is a small tutorial about writing headlines that are able to pass muster and make it all happen.

Should you write your headline before the content or after the fact? That is something you need to discover for your self as it is always a personal decision. Some copywriters do not use an outline for sales copy, but an outline is always a smart idea for anything else. This way you'll be able to understand where you're going and at the same time connect your article with the headline and make sure everything is in sync.

Since you are creating unique copy with headlines, that implies the creation process - but you have to walk a fine line. How much creativity you should use is up to you, and the good thing about this is you can simply test it. Contrary to the popular belief, you don't really have to go that extra mile to be creative.

Try to look at your headline from different perspectives, and that will often produce something totally new for you. As we always say, the only way to get good at this process is to do it plus continual learning, as well.

Writing as many headlines as you can stand is one proven method for finding the one that is most perfect. If you read enough, you will come across things like copywriters who write dozens and dozens of headlines for a single piece of copy.

That is also practicing the art of writing headlines, and you will improve. You can optimize your headlines through split testing, tracking and trying new headlines. Writing headlines that convert very well is a skill, but it is a skill that you are able to learn with dedication. You need to follow the basic process which includes learning as much as possible, and then you have to do it which means practicing your headline creation. Being able to write copy and solid headlines is a skill that will really pay off for you down the road. There is no work-around for sustained effort to learn how to do anything well - that is just the way it is.
