Someone has some strong words for marketers who can’t write effective headlines:
Wimpy Headline Writers Should be Burned at the Stake – by Wes Schaeffer of The Sales Whisperer.
Well, that link effectively sums up the whole point of the article. If your headline can’t attract attention, you are doomed. Nothing more, nothing less.
If you nurse thoughts of getting attention for your sales copy, articles, or whatever else that you write, get your act together.
Write headlines that pull readers in by the collar. That is the only way to get attention.
Being an aggressive marketer is not an easy thing. Wes repeats this marketing pep talk: “If you don’t piss someone off by noon you’re not marketing very well.”
It all sums the point, Get attention or else…
