DOH!
2 years ago I hired someone to pull all the best headlines from the Cosmopolitan site.
Why?
Because it is the top selling magazine… and the headlines are responsible.
A solid headline is the biggest factor in your success with marketing.
Bad headline – smaller number of readers.
Great headline – maximum targeted readers.
Which is exactly why Cosmopolitan is the BEST place for headline ideas.
Anyhow…
…this week a guy started selling an ebook with 1,000 cosmo headlines.
I’ve been giving this away for years.
DOH!
Rather that re-package them and sell them…
…I though I’d just give you some of the best.
Remember, each and every one of these is a formula for a winning headline, winning email subject line, winning postcard.
Take these and insert your own benefits or teasers. One client I wrote for had a database of 400,000 people. I was hired to test different approaches to email marketing.
First I tested the ‘professional’ approach with the email subject line.
Next I tested the Cosmo headline approach with the same lists.
BLOWOUT!
400% better open rates and sales using the Cosmo approach.
Definitely worthy of your time.
