of the best tips on copywriting eective hea!lines an! subDect lines to get you starte!2
CopybloggerEs agnetic (ea!lines training
Write the copy #rst, then pull out the strongest phrases to use as hea!lines an! subhea!ings. This ensures your hea!lines atch your copy.
Opt for straightforwar!, siple hea!lines over tricky or clever ones.

@se )avi! +ar#nkelEs &hortcut Test2 If you poste! the hea!line an! a phone nuber as a classi#e! a!, woul! it generate inuiries?
Copywriting (all"of"Gaer 5ohn Caples !ivi!e! successful hea!lines into three classes. In his e-perience, the thir! best hea!lines use! curiosity, the secon!" best use! news, an! the best of all use! the rea!erEs self"interest.

The strongest point can often grab attention better than weaker points, aking it i!eal for the beginning. ;4. Buil! cre!ibility.
$nother very successful copywriter, &teve &launwhite, sai!2
KIn y e-perience, the nuber one key to persuasion is this2 counicate trust. If you !o this well, you at least have a chance at engaging an! persua!ing the rea!er. If you !onEt !o this well, however, no aount of fancy copywriting techniues will save you.L
>ou can buil! cre!ibility an! trust by entioning cre!entials like2
strong guarantee, return, an! privacy policies
testionials an! !ata about your track recor!
years in business
innovations an! awar!s
publications
ebership an! participation in professional societies
seals of approval
agency ratings
in!epen!ent survey results
e!ia coverage
;3. ention the ost iportant point at least three ties.
This is Winston ChurchillEs Ktreen!ous whackL theory, which says to not be subtle or clever about your iportant point. 0ichar! Perry says, K@se a pile !river. (it the point once. Then coe back an! hit it again. Then hit it a thir!
tieMa treen!ous whack.L
&uccessful writers an! arketers use the power of three all the tie.
)erek (alpern a!vises putting an opt"in for in three places on your $bout Page.
9ots of eail arketers inclu!e three links in an eail to !rive clicks RDust look at a few of the eail newsletters you getS.
9ong"for lan!ing pages often have three CT$ areas.
If soethingEs iportant, say it at the beginning, again in the i!!le, an! again at the en!. ;8. &tress value.
$ericaEs top copywriter Bob Bly says, KItEs not enough to convince prospects you have a great pro!uct or a superior service. >ou ust also show the that the value of your oer far e-cee!s the price you are asking for it.L
&howing the overall value is also known as the K!rop"in"the"bucketL techniue, where the cost of purchase is a tiny thing copare! to the bene#ts your oer !elivers. This works for eail subscriptions an! blog coents as well as pro!uct sales, since rea!ers give up soething they valueQtheir tie, eail a!!ress, privacyQto get soething of value in return.
This fun!aental copywriting tip works really well in conDunction with tip X3:, provi!ing instantaneous grati#cation. If they alrea!y get value fro your content, the value of your oer is alost certainly worth the cost. ;;. Inclu!e a strong call to action.
If you !onEt speci#cally ask people to !o soething, chances are they wonEt !o it. %verything you write, fro blog posts to eails to social up!ates to lan!ing pages, shoul! close with a call to action RCT$S. To get the ost out of your CT$s, ake sure they2

reiterate your ost iportant bene#t or eotional !river
;7. ake it personal.
Copywriter )avi! +ar#nkel says that successful content is personal, an! it !oesnEt use stilte! foral %nglish or KsticklerL language of a school assignent. (e recoen!s writing in a ore personal, rela-e! style, as if youEre having a one"on"one conversation with your prospect.
0esearch in!icates that personali'e! eails convert better than ass essages, an! ost internet arketers know that the ost successful blogs eploy the rela-e!, personal style. ;our Personality
Where are you ore likely to shop for basic groceries at M the Dolly, but sall"tie grocer !own the street youEve been frien!s with for !eca!es, or the big, new, e-pensive superarket !owntown? IE betting that ost of you vote! the forer.
Why? Because you know the grocer. Personally. $n! the trouble with Internet selling is that itEs har! for you to get to know your custoers an! vice versa. By sharing your personality an! Dust being yourself in your copy, youEll help rectify that situation. ;. Iportant Info +oes Girst
In high school literature, I was always taught that the i!eal place for your ost factual, well"researche!, an! supporte! points was right at the en! of the essay, before the conclusion.
ot so in web copywriting. ost people !onEt have tie to rea! through your
entire copy, so they Du!ge you by your #rst few sentences. ThatEs where your iportant inforation, ost elouent copy, an! persuasive statistics shoul! go. 7. Talk 0esults
Cut right to the chase. &tart talking results in your copyU what your pro!uct will !o for your custoer.
$fter all, the only reason why people browse the Internet is because they want bene#ts. &olutions to probles. 0esults. +uarantee the results, an! youEll be able hol! their attention for longer an! be ore likely to persua!e the to buy. ou are the
e-pert. >ou know what youEre talking about, an! you have to let your rea!ers know that. :. &ocial Proof
&ocial proof is one of the ost powerful tools aroun! in persuasive writing. If you want soeone to buy soething theyEve never bought before, show the that others Dust like the have alrea!y taken the leap an! are happy with their results.
Glattering testionials an! large social e!ia followings are two prie in!icators of social proof. . $bolish Inhibitions
%verybo!y has inhibitions before aking a purchase. We all have !oubts before we buy soething M will it be worth the oney? Will it hol! up for as long as I nee! it to? Will I in any way be en!angere!coproise! by it?
These inhibitions are ba! enough in a superarket, but theyEre apli#e! on the Internet, since itEs uch easier for sha!y characters to get away with a sca on the worl! wi!e web than it is for the to !o so in Kreal lifeL.
The uick #-? $!!ress an! abolish those inhibitions. Bring the up in your copy. )onEt waste tie broaching the subDect or beating aroun! the bush M Dust get right to it an! say Kno, we wonEt sca youL or Kyes, our pro!uct is worth its price tagL Rin! you, youEll have to phrase it !ierently U"SS. 6.

H"I know youEve been there before. >ou sit !own, grab a pen an! paper an! start to write those killer a!s for real estate that will bring you otivate! sellers right to your !oor. Or !o you?
Writing real estate a!s is not as easy as it soun!s, is it? >ou see that blank piece of paper, you stare at it an! get frustrate! because nothing goo! is pouring out on that piece of paper. >our brain Dust !oes not want to write a!s 2S
Well to!ay, in a true 0eal %state Black Book fashion, I have another free resource for you that will get those real estate classi#e! a!s written an! written in such a way that will grab your rea!erEs attention like Fies on shJt.
I have to tell you soething though. I see this a lot in newspapers, on the internet, in the snail ail, eails, an! everything in between. ost a!s, eails, ail pieces, newspaper a!s are written by non"arketers. They !onEt grab attention, Dup out at you, an! #ght for your attention.
Think about it.

IEll keep talking about fro tie to tie. But, IE not going to go into how you can write a powerful hea!line since thatEs a whole new subDect of its own.
If you want a uick lesson on grabbing your rea!er by the eyeballs then you shoul! rea! the post that, as luck ay have it, was written to!ay by one of the best copywriters in the worl!, Clayton akepeace.
But thatEs not what this post is about. This post is about a free resource that will give you the necessary ao you nee! to write powerful an! copelling arketing pieces.
%very successful arketer has a secret swipe #le that he keeps on his !esk which he can refer to whenever he writes soething an! nee!s i!eas to get his creative Duices Fowing.
>ou, as an internet real estate investor, nee! those swipe #les to refer to so you can counicate with your custoers in the best possible way.
