āļø HEADLINE FIX-UP: A WORKED EXAMPLE
Bad Headline Of The Day:
"The Best Menās Wallets To Buy On A Budget"
Sure, the headline is clear enough.
But itās boring and doesnāt speak to the audienceās emotions.
It wonāt stand out among the many other pieces of content it has to compete with.
It will be ignoredā¦
No matter how good the content might be.
Using the Headline Fix-Up process, I turned it into a āmagnetic headlineā that would drive clicks on demand.
(And it took less than 30 seconds).
Iāve broken down the transformation below.
While I donāt go into as much detail here, you get to see just how easy and effective it can be.
Letās get to it.
Apply Ultra-Specificity
There are several ways we could add ultra-specificity to this headline.
Hereās what I ended up including:
The exact number of wallets recommended in the content (eg. 7).
Exactly how affordable the wallet recommendations are (eg. less than $100).
š” Improved Headline: āThe Top 7 Menās Wallets You Can Buy For Under $100ā
It looks better ā more digestible, useful, and credible.
But weāre not done yetā¦
Apply An Emotional Lever
Using one of the 9 emotional levers, we can write an irresistible headline that taps into the audienceās primal desires.
In other words ā a āmagnetic headlineā.
One of the levers stood out as the most appropriate:
Exclusivity: Making it clear that these wallets may be affordable but they still look expensive would be extremely effective.
While itās true that people care about bargains and value for money, they care even more about how they look in front of others.
The simple addition of āwallets that look expensiveā immediately makes the headline so much more enticing.
Why?
Because it taps into our desire for status.

Cut The Fluff
Here, we go through a methodical process for ācutting fluffā from our headline.
Eventually, we end up with the shortest possible headline that provides the maximum emotional impact.
Hereās the final product:
