Advertising Headlines that Make You Rich

I always keep it next to my Macbook and refer to it as and when I am about to write a title for my articles. It has helped me a lot in creating headlines and titles for my blogs and social media posts. I have used this book to mix and match title ideas several times in a day and saves me a lot of time creating titles for my blog articles from scratch.

The easiest way to use this book is to read it, take ideas, blend it in your own way and then reuse it for your purpose. Again reading this book isn’t going to take you long because each chapter explains how and when to use the given headline.

Because, in a print ad, 75 percent of the buying decisions are made at the headline alone – David Garfinkel

This book is a must-read for bloggers, online advertisers, podcasters, YouTubers, entrepreneurs, digital product sellers and all those who are associated with digital media and marketing. I always recommend freelancers should blog but even if you aren’t blogging, it is a book to be used when writing their proposals.
