Read any personal development book and you know that key to get someone to like you is to talk about them, show an interest in them and praise them.

If you can’t use word ‘you’ in your headline, you can imply it by using word ‘how to’ which has a similar effect because it still involves reader.

4. What size should text in your headline be?

The size of your text is very important. If you use a small typeface it will disappear into your body copy and won’t stand out. Make sure typeface is 4 to 8 times size of body text and takes up about 20 - 25% of your ad space.

5. Use an exclamation mark

The simple act of putting an exclamation mark at end of your headline makes people feel that statement is dramatic so there’s more of a chance they’ll read further.

6. Put your headline in quotation marks

Putting your headline in quotation marks makes people feel that it is a quote so they’re more likely to read on.

7. Mention your offer in your headline

Giving your reader a compelling reason to respond, makes you stand out from your competitors and fast tracks sales. If you have a powerful offer in your advertising piece, in some cases, it’s best to mention it in your headline.

Here are some examples of headlines promoting offers:

8. Mention results

When your product delivers proven results, tell world in headline of your ad. The statement must be strong. It must be believable. It must be specific, and, it must be proven. If you can guarantee results, incorporate your guarantee in headline.

5. Connect your information with a new market. For example, you could write about improving your psychic skills targeted at coaches who want to improve their play calling.

6. Merge your information with current news stories. For example, relate your subject to any of top news stories that will be ongoing for awhile.

7. Blend your information with real life. For example, combine your subject with real life interviews, stories, opinions and personal experiences.

8. Relate your information with new examples. For example, they're thousands of books on marketing but most of them use different examples to make you understand.

Don't limit yourself to only these eight ideas. There are millions of information topics that can help you to brainstorm new writing ideas.
