From a $200M+ Email Marketer and Copywriter, Chase Dimond

1. Being Overly Clever

A clever headline may appeal to you, but it could confuse your reader.

How to fix this:

Make your headline:

Simple

Descriptive

Straightforward

Prioritize clarity over cleverness.

2. Being Too Vague

A vague headline speaks to no one in particular.

How to fix this:

Make your headline:

Address your target

Use numbers/data

Include relevant details

Specificity makes your headline appealing to the right audience.

3. Sounding Gimmicky

Gimmicks make your headline look unprofessional.

How to fix this:

Avoid using:

Clickbait

Buzzwords

Exaggeration

Capitalizing The Entire Headline (LIKE THIS)

Too Many Exclamation Marks (!!)

Make your headline sell, not yell.

4. Zero Emotion

An emotionless headline won’t connect with your prospects.

How to fix this:

Inject emotion by using:

Power words

Pain points

Vivid imagery

No headline is complete without the emotional factor.

5. Incorrect Formatting

Poor formatting makes your headline hard to read.

How to fix this:

Use:

Readable font

Proper spacing

Bold/underline/italics

Consistent alignment

How you present your headline is just as important as what it says.

6. No "Next Step"

A headline without a "next step" is a dead end.

How to fix this:

At the end of your headline, instruct people to:

Keep reading

Scroll down

Click somewhere

Your headline’s goal is not just to grab attention but to incentivize action.

7. No Curiosity

A headline lacking curiosity is easily overlooked.

How to fix this:

Spark curiosity in your prospect with:

An interesting fact

An outrageous claim

A thought-provoking question

Curiosity is the best attention-grabber there is.
