Use These 101 Profitable Headlines to Boost Your Conversion Rates by 78%

Is it possible to boost your *conversion rates by 78%?

(*Conversion – converting an indifferent prospect (cold lead) to a warm (eager-to-purchase) prospect who buys your product or service)

Yes, it is not only possible, it is probable.

It all starts with a headline–a statement that arouses curiosity or a call-to-action that demands an answer or both of these combined.

The well-crafted headline carries considerable weight, even in today’s digital age.

It “nags” you, sometimes “forces” you, to click the link to begin reading the story.

A well-written headline does a number of things. It employs emotion by using strong action verbs, often incorporating embedded commands. It incites curiosity. It uses contrast to tell a story. It creates open loops. Although it often blends a variety of techniques, the main objective is this: to capture the reader’s attention by offering a solution to a problem.

The Power of Words
Use the power of words to tell a story, introduce drama, build tension, raise stakes, and take the reader on a journey.

Throughout the story (of your brand narrative) engage the reader on a deep psychological level …

Curiosity and Humor
Incite curiosity. Add humor.
These two ingredients act as powerful aphrodisiacs in the simmering stew of copywriting. Humor allows the reader, the prospect, to relax, offering an emotional recharge. Curiosity offers excitement, anticipation for “what will happens next” and keeps the reader invested emotionally, engaged in the outcome of the story. Both humor and curiosity keep the reader engaged, preparing him for what comes next …

Create Open Loops
“Open Loops” are the cliffhanger-type endings you see when watching an episodic series on NetFlix. By this point, you’re “drawn into the show”, you care about the characters because you empathize with them. You’re halfway through “the hero’s journey”. You’re invested emotionally. You “need to know what’s gonna happen next! “open loops” (cliffhanger endings, unresolved action, unfinished business).
