It’s not like you and I were taught in school how to write compelling copy and headlines that people love.
If you were like me in school (I hope not lol) then you didn’t really learn much at all.
Good thing 8 out of the 10 most successful entrepreneurs on the planet dropped out of school.
I digress…
Here today you are going to receive a crash course on headlines. But more importantly how to write catchy “must read” headlines that your followers and website visitors are going to love.
Here’s how:
Headlines, just like any form of sales copy. are a series of words you and I can utilize to do many amazing things. You can use words to powerfully effective your readers state of mind, emotion, thought process, their mood and even in some deep, deep cases reprogram a persons entire DNA structure.
Crazy, isn’t it?
Just from words.
Let me tell you a story.
A few years ago when we first started studying sales copy and the art of writing killer headlines. I wrote a sales letter script that made Layla and I over 6 figures in just 5 months.
This was from a $97 product price point.
How crazy is that?
You can actually write down words that can (almost like magic) make you money. Of course the person you are writing the sales copy for has to have the issue you are trying to solve. Or have a genuine interest in what you have to offer but neither the less you can write a headline, blog post, email or sales letter script and make money.
Copywriting is one of the main skills we have our clients focus on. Why? Because it doesn’t matter what niche or market you are in…
YOU CAN MAKE MONEY IN IT BY WRITING WORDS!!!
Below you are going to find the 69 Strange But Highly Converting Headlines for you to swipe and deploy into your own business.
But before we get there…
I want to go over foundational stuff about writing copy. So in the future you will always know how to craft a high converting piece of copy.
Let’s dive in…
The Money is in the PAIN?
First thing I was you to check out is something I call the Pain Vs. Pleasure Method. Is in its simplest form…
This is you deciding whether you are going to make your headline about a pain your target audience has…
Or make it about them seeking some sort of gain, result or pleasure you know they want…
For example:
Headline Driven on Pain:
Hate Yourself When You Look In The Mirror?
Headline Driven on Pleasure:
See How You Can Lose 10LBS in 7 Days Without Dieting!
You see the difference?
Of course you do, your smart.
Now both of these headline formula’s work. One will work better for some markets and vice versa.
It really depends on your objective and who you are talking too.
Now you may be wondering can you put them together. Meaning we could have a Pain & Please headline rather than a Pain Vs. Pleasure.
Yes you can.
For Example:
Do you hate yourself when you look in the mirror? See How I lost 10LBS in 7 days without dieting.
In that example all I did was combine them together. But it’s the same formula. You lead with a pain point and then include the massive pleasure or result your target audience wants.
You could also turn them around. Meaning you lead with a massive pleasure point and then throw in the pain point.
For Example:
See How I Generated 237 Leads in 24 Hours Without Throwing Away Money or Wasting My Time.
Either way you put them. It’s powerful.
Next magical copy writing nugget you can take away is…
Use Specifics & Be Odd
When you are creating your headline you want to be as specific as possible and not general. It’s human nature to believe details. So when you are crafting a headline about a strategy.
Don’t just say something like …
“See how my Facebook strategy generated me leads”
You would want to be specific and say…
“See How my Never Before Shared Facebook PPC Strategy Generated me 237 Leads in Just 24 hours!”
You feel the different?
Of course you do.
Now the name of this method is Use Specifics & Be Odd. What is the ODD all about?
Well Be ODD is you using ODD numbers in your marketing. Instead of using round and sound numbers… Use numbers like 7,13,69 (lol) etc…
Don’t ask me how.
It just converts higher!
Another amazing copywriting technique is…
Bored With Features Where’s The Benefits.
1 of the most common mistakes rookie copywriters make when they are writing a compelling headline. Is boring people with the features. Instead of priming them with the benefits.
Here are some examples so you fully get it….
Without The Benefits:
Using our viral blogging platform you will be able to communicate more efficiently with your customers on the most cutting edge platform in the market place.
With the Benefits:
Using our viral blogging platform you will be able to communicate more efficiently with your customers (saving you time and money) on the most cutting edge platform in the market place. This allows you to brand your business like a pro and make sales on autopilot.
See the difference?
Now if you want to be a good copywriter you could stop there but if you want to be a “money grabbing” copywriting ninja…
You should go deeper?
How?
Glad you asked.
You would actually expand on the main benefit.
Example:
Using our viral blogging platform you can communicate quickly and easily with your customers (saving you time and money.) on the most cutting edge platform in the market place. This allows you to brand your business like a pro and make sales on autopilot. Hint: When you make sales on autopilot you can invest your time into the things you love. Like fishing, golfing, traveling or whatever your heart desires.

WOW!
We made it.
Man that was harder work than I thought lol.
Now that you have seen some pretty amazing copy in action…
I want you to do 3 things…
- Bookmark this post or copy and paste the list to your computer.
- Read the list again, and again. Then write them out by hand. (I’m serious.)
- Swipe and Deploy these into your business.
That’s right. Edit them so they make sense to your niche and fire them off into your biz.
You will get Results!
As you are reading through the headlines and the copy on this page. You will notice I am using a number of NLP techniques for persuasion or influence. Some of the headlines use social proof or success with numbers. Some of the headlines use threat or pain techniques. And some of them focus on the gain. Remember what we spoke about in the beginning of this post.
People will buy for two reasons…
- To Escape Pain
- Or Gain Pleasure
The first one is WAY MORE POWERFUL. That’s why industries that are revolved around pain points (weight lose, insurance etc…) have such a huge impact with their audience.
Most of the advertising is fear or pain based. This causes your target audience to really take to heart what you are talking about. Your not just telling them about all the wonderful things they can have or are going to have.
You are painting them a vivid picture of how bad life will be if they don’t take action on whatever it is you are trying to get them to do. From here on out whenever you watch tv, a movie, read a magazine or listen to the radio or browse Facebook…I want you to be observing from a copywriters mindset.
See how businesses, brands and marketers utilize sales copy tactics to influence their target audience. You can have a license to print money when you properly implement good copy techniques.
A few years ago when Layla and I bought our first home. I decided to do a little test. A test to see how powerful the copy writing tactics that I had learned were
I wanted to see if I could pay the entire down payment in full by just leveraging copywriting.
Layla and I put our heads together for a few days and spoke with 100’s of people on our list. We asked them what they thought the biggest problem or issue was that was holding them back from breaking through.
We then crafted a webinar series around all the feedback.
I then wrote a few emails, built a capture page and wrote a webinar script.
We launched the coaching program and BOOM!!!!
I had earned the entire down payment for the house and a little bit more within 1 hour.
It’s a pretty crazy story some might not even believe.
I tell you this story for the power of copywriting to sink in.
Conclusion
What to know something even cooler than that? You don’t have to be a master copywriter to start to see amazing results. The reason is 97% of people in every niche don’t know how to do it. Or even know there is a better way.
You my friend have just jumped to the 3%!
Now it’s your turn…
What market or niche are you in and how are you going to utilize these copy techniques to better your business?
