Headlines That Have Made Millions

Seven Figure Headlines

Sooner or later, to scale to seven figures and beyond, you’ll need to advertise.  And after spending millions on ads myself, and making that back multiple times over, I say this with certainty: the headline is half the battle.

(The perfect picture doesn’t hurt, either.  But for the sake of this post, let’s focus only on headlines.)

Someone smarter than me once described the headline as “an ad for the ad itself.”  It’s so true.  A great headline sells the reader on taking a closer look at the entire ad; whereas a bad headline is an unwelcome speed bump.

So, what’s the best way to come up with great headlines?  Read dozens of books on advertising and copywriting?  Wing it, run it, test it, tweak it?  Well, neither one is a horrible option.  You will come up with winners, eventually.  But it’ll take time and effort and risking ad dollars to do so.

A better approach would be to model headlines that have already generated many millions of dollars in profit.  Right?  At least, then, you’re upping your odds of a successful campaign.  Even if you have no idea why the headline you’re modeling worked so well in the first place.

Then, yes, you should still read and study and test out your own ideas.  Alright?

With that said, I want to make it easy for you.  Here’s a headline swipe file responsible for some of the most profitable pitches in history.  (It should go without saying, but make ’em your own; don’t copy verbatim.)
