How to Write Headlines That Capture the Attention of Your Ideal Clients

women in business onlineWhether you’re writing a landing page on your website, an article or even an information product your headline is an essential ingredient for success.

Experts tell us you have about 10 seconds or less, to grab your prospect’s attention. Guess what they read first? Your headline.

Here’s how to write headlines that have moxie:

#1 What’s The Purpose?

What are you writing and why?  Are you writing a sales page? If so, what’s the purpose of the sales page? Are you writing an article or blog post?  If so, what do you want the article or post to accomplish?

For example, if it’s a blog post do you want comments? Do you want to new subscribers? What’s your goal or what’s the purpose of the piece you’re writing?  Before you can even begin to write a headline, know your purpose.

#2 Know Your Customer or Reader

Ask yourself the following:

  • Who is your customer?
  • What is their biggest problem or complaint?
  • How will this piece of content solve their problems? If you’re writing a sales page, how will your product or service solve their problem?

#3 Brainstorm Headlines

Brainstorm headline possibilities by writing twenty or so potential headlines. Here are a few ways to write effective headlines:

  • State a benefit – For example, “Lose Weight and Never Gain it Back.”
  • Use numbers and statistics – For example, “Lose Your First Five Pounds in 48 Hours.”
  • Make it newsworthy using words like new, introducing, or announcing – For example, “New Book Shows You How To Lose The Weight You’ve Been Fighting to Get Off.”
  • Make a big promise. – “Lose 20 Pounds This Weekend.”
  • Use a “reasons why” headline – For example, “10 Reasons Why You’re Not Losing Weight.”
  • Pique their curiosity – For example, “The Weight Loss Secret Celebrities Don’t Want You To Know.”

#4 Talk Directly To Your Reader

The word YOU in your headline let’s your reader’s feel as if you’re talking to them specifically and interested in solving their problems.

#5 Watch Your Language.

Use active and emotional language. Active language – language that shows movement and commands attention – compels people to continue reading. It pulls them into your copy. And emotional language attracts attention. For example, How To Lose The Weight You’ve Been Fighting to Lose. There are many emotions to tap into. What emotions is your audience feeling?

If you’re writing sales copy headlines, test and track your top two or three for conversion rates. If you’re writing article headlines, test and track which types of headlines draw more readers. Testing and tracking your headline results will help you fine tune your headline style to meet your reader’s needs and your business goals.

8 Ways Entrepreneurs Can Use Feng Shui for More Business — and More Money

feng shui for women in business onlineOne of the greatest rewards of being an entrepreneur is the ability to call the shots in your business. But, that’s also one of the greatest risks – you’re responsible for all the decisions.

Fortunately, with feng shui, you can use the principles of this ancient technique to help you draw more clients to you, create a harmonious business that attracts business, and builds a financial foundation for your life that gives you more control, greater freedom and feeling of personal achievement.

But how can you put feng shui to work as an entrepreneur? I’ve put together a list of eight ways that feng shui can help generate more flow – and that means more success and more sales for you.

1. Put money first.

When it comes to your business, money should always come first. Why? Well, because you’re in business. Emails can wait, filing can wait, but money can’t.

Write your bills every Monday and every day ask yourself if the activities you’re doing are money-generating. Busy doesn’t always equal financially productive – so do those things that are and delegate the busy work to someone else.

2. Water is wealth.

Make sure you are surrounded by financial energy and that energy’s element is water. Keep a clear, running and full fountain in your office to help keep you relaxed and stimulate business opportunities. North, the business opportunity sector, is also the direction associated with water. Adding metal here will also stimulate water energy – and that stimulates business and money from your business.

3. Have a vision.

What is your symbol of success? If you want to be the world’s best cookbook writer, then wrap some cookbooks in a cover with your name on it. Seeing is believing. Find a symbol that is meaningful for you and keep it where you can prominently see it while you work. Pick a symbol, any symbol and keep it in front of you.

4. Feng shui your website.

Yes, feng shui can even be applied to bytes and pixels! I often see businesses that have websites whose colors conflict, such as red and silver, green and beige, or green and yellow. These are color combinations that fatigue visitors – meaning the website is less sticky and more likely to be abandoned and with fewer repeat visitors.

That’s because these color combinations make your website work against itself – and that gets you nowhere. Select feng shui compatible color combinations. This would include blue, black, and white or yellow, purple, and red, or green, black, and blue. Not sure about your site? Call me for a feng shui assessment of your website to check your color combination.

5. Open communication.

Sales depend on making it as easy as possible for the customer to reach you. Get yourself a 1-800 number, a fax number, and a land-line if you’re in business. Interestingly, when I moved from a cell phone as my primary business phone and got all the other lines installed, I began receiving many more calls. Think of it this way: no talk, no sales; more talk, more sales!

6. Get more clients.

Many “solopreneurs” have a poor filing system (if any). Make sure you have a file cabinet with a specified drawer just for client files — and keep your clients in red folders; this energizes the client and keeps them in contact with you (read: repeat customer!).

When you want more clients, have three blank folders on your desk at all times, just ready for the next one. Also, get a label maker and make a label for each new customer. The more respect you give to your customer files, the more customers you’ll have.

7. Beauty pays you.

If you’re a work at home entrepreneur, chances are you may have a less-than-inspiring work area. Invest in your office and make it attractive, organized, and functional. Having a beautiful work space is motivating and encourages creativity.

When you are surrounded by beauty and inspiring views, objects, or artwork, you are more likely to think creatively, come up with new approaches to your business, and be more productive – and that makes you more money!

8. Use the Power of One.

One is the number of opportunity and money from business in feng shui. There is probably one thing that you could do to instantly make a difference in your business. What is it? For some, it would be to create that first product, for others it would mean publishing your book, and for others it might be making sales calls. But, chances are you know the one thing that’s standing in the way of your success. Get to work on just that one thing.

You know what it is.

Do it now and put it ahead of everything else.

Women in Business Online Here Are Five Simple Ways to Be More Joint-Venturous

Women are naturals when it comes to co-creation and collaboration. If you’ve been holding back in the past and REALLY want to enjoy the benefits of successful joint venture marketing (and there are many!) in the future, here are five simple steps in the right direction…

1) Get Serious About Joint Venture Marketing! Pull up your socks, roll up your sleeves and make a firm decision to create and participate in joint venture marketing!

Just the act of deciding to leverage this high ROI strategy opens your mind and heart to new opportunities and new relationships. The pieces start to fall into place ~ not by magic ~ rather, your decision jump starts your brain and it gets to work figuring out how to make it happen.

2) Offer to support other people’s joint venture strategies. When you participate you get first hand experiences and examples that you can leverage to kick start your own JV’s. Be the kind of joint venture partner you want to attract. What goes around comes around… get the laws of attraction and reciprocity working in your favour!

3) Become a student of joint venture marketing. Not sure WHO to joint venture with or HOW to put an attractive joint venture program together? Read books; search the web; listen to tele-seminars; take a course; find a mentor or coach. Get clear about you’re your ideal JV partner is. Explore the endless ways you can co-create with others. Identify the gaps (what is holding you back?) and start learning what you need to so you are empowered to take action.

4) Leverage proven systems and process to dramatically increase your odds of success. Based on your joint venture marketing goals/plans this could include:

  • Joint Venture Marketing Action Plan
  • Templates and Checklists
  • Client Management System
  • Follow Up/Keep in Touch System
  • etc…

5) Brainstorm and Mastermind with other joint-venturous mavens. Imagine the momentum and success you can create with a community of like-minded, supportive, caring women cheering you on, and taking action to do what they can to support your success…

Sounds pretty good doesn’t it? So what are you waiting for?

The next READY TO JV 2-Week Intensive starts Tuesday June 15th and covers EXACTLY what you need to know in step-by-step detail to start creating and leveraging your own successful joint ventures.

When you’re one of the first six to register you receive a bonus one-hour joint venture strategy session with me, IAWBO President and Founder, Gina Bell.

Just this one bonus alone is valued more than the course fee itself. And hurry, I just announced the new date yesterday and only a couple of bonus strategy sessions remain.

I look forward to seeing you there!
