Print and Steal This Headline Swipe File But Use It For Good, Not Evil

fileEvery business owner that is working in the “digital age” should have a Headline Swipe File.

I break out this document when I am writing:

  • An article title
  • A headline for a sales page
  • An email subject line
  • A name of a presentation
  • A name of a video
  • etc, etc

And, I copy and paste other people’s good headlines when I see them — hence the name “swipe file.”

The right headline, subject line, presentation title, etc can make a huge difference.  Just be sure to deliver on the promise you make in your headline.

You can download and use my headline swipe file by clicking here.

Print the swipe file and read through the headlines — try to determine why each of them works.  What psychological strings are they pulling that make people take action?

  2. Hey Russ!

    I like the new look and feel of your blog. And the new domain name works great for combining content marketing and analytics.

    I’m looking forward to using your swipe file. I’ve got a new blog post that needs a great title.

    Best of luck!
