Curiosity Headlines

Headlines that open a question the reader needs answered.

The higher the curiosity, the higher the conversion. A curiosity headline hints at a secret, a result or a mistake without giving the answer away. To close the loop, the reader has to read, opt in or watch.

If a landing page is not converting, there is usually not enough curiosity in the headline.

Do it step by step

  1. Name a result and hide the method: How I did X without Y.
  2. Name a mistake: The one thing that is quietly killing your sales.
  3. Use a number with a promise: 3 pages that sold 40,000 dollars.
  4. Never promise what the page does not deliver.
