Remember the door-to-door salesmen who used to call on your house when you were a kid? I often wondered how hard those guys had to work just to make a few sales. They had the advantage of 'being there' with the customer so their sales pitches could not easily be ignored. But many, if not most of these face-to-face prospects would listen politely, but never buy anything.
For us web marketers, and others running an internet home based business, we don't come to the buyer, he or she comes to us. We call out to those who may be interested in what we are selling. We have at our disposal a neon sign to call those readers who may have an interest in what we sell, it's called a headline. The headline is the most important piece of a sales letter. The headline functions as an announcement to all 'passers by' just what the offer to sell is about, and most important, why the reader should stop and read more. A headline calls to those, and only those who are interested in what we have to say- and those are the only people that interest us.
Think about how you read the newspaper. You scan the headlines and stop to read more when the headline offers something that is compelling to you. You may not be interested in a story about gardening - but understand that there is some reader out there who can't wait to find that story about trees and shrubs that you simply passed by. Web surfers read at a more frantic pace than even newspaper readers. Your job as a marketer is complicated because visitors to web sites are used to ads, sales pitches and offers.
Our job is to get them to pause and read. The most carefully-crafted ad copy is useless unless the reader stops to read. Spend as much time on your headline as on your sales copy Make your headline clear, but compelling - offer the reader a benefit to consider your offer. Don't try to hide your intent - the reader knows you are selling something, make them glad they stopped to read.
