How To Increase Sales On The Internet By Creating Great Headlines

One of the most important aspects of crafting a successful marketing campaign of any kind, but particularly an internet marketing campaign, is to make sure that you are creating headlines that grab people’s attention and make them interested in what it is that you have to offer them. Even if you are offering a great product or service, few people will take the time to learn about it unless you can capture their attention and interest, and the best way to do this is to have a compelling headline that makes people want to continue reading.

When it comes to direct sales on the internet or trying to offer a product to the market by using sales pages, it is always the headline of the page that is your brief opportunity to make your readers interested enough to continue reading your page, which is the only way to create more sales. If your reader loses interest after reading the first few paragraphs, or even if they lose interest directly after reading the headline, you are going to have a hard time convincing them to buy your product or service.

This is why so many copywriters and marketers will spend such a great deal of time and effort to test out different headlines to see which ones are effective, sometimes testing as many as 20 or more different variations to see which one performs the best. By finding out exactly which one of your headlines or titles is performing the best and resulting in the most sales or referrals, you can use this as your primary sales page that you know is the most likely to convert readers into customers.

In our media rich world of internet, television, and hand-held devices like smart phones, the attention span of the average person is getting shorter and shorter. The attention span of a goldfish swimming in a bowl is exactly three seconds, and with the people you are marketing to on the internet you are lucky if they have an attention span that is only ten times that or thirty seconds long.

This means that you have thirty seconds or less to use your sales page to convince your reader that they should be interested in what you have to offer, and the most important tool you have to do this is creating a great headline. By now you should realize how important it is to create great headlines to grab people’s attention, and by putting more focus on crafting clever and attention-grabbing headlines you will be able to create immediate interest in what you are selling.
