Headlines are the thing. Write great headlines and everything else you write will get a lot more action. Here are 5 Ways to Become a Better Headline Writer from Kissmetrics:
- Know Your Audience
- Practice
- Follow Patterns (Headlines that start “How to” work for a reason. Look for common types and imitate those patterns.)
- Split Test
- Study Human Psychology
These things will also help you with the cousins of headlines, subject lines and envelope teasers.
Getting great at writing headlines is one of the best investment you can make in your fundraising.
