š” A CLICKABLE CONTENT IDEA FOR YOU
Give Your Audience A Quick Hack (And Ask Them To Thank You Later)
šØ Your Headline Template:
"[Perform Quick Action] Like This And Thank Me/Us Later"
š The Inspiration:
āPut Plastic Bottles In The Bottom Of Your Flower Pot And Thank Us Laterā
š§ Why The Headline Works:
Speedy Rewards: The headline suggests a quick and specific action and benefit.
Social Proof: āThank me laterā implies that someone else has already tried it and has had a positive outcome.
Hidden Benefit: Keeping the benefit of the action hidden from the headline sparks curiosity. It makes us want to click and find out what happens when you do it.
š How To Adapt It For Your Niche:
Think Of A Useful Hack: A tip or trick within your niche thatās easy to do but offers a significant benefit.
Donāt Give Everything Away: E.g. in the headline example above, the actual benefit of the plastic bottles is hidden.
Plus: Adding ālike thisā to the headline suggests that thereās more to see.
Example:
Letās say a gardening creator was teaching people how to use copper tape as a natural pest barrier.
Incorrect: "Make A Natural Pest Barrier Like This And Thank Me Later"
Correct: "Apply Copper Tape Around Your Pots Like This And Thank Me Later"
The second example describes the action and not the benefit .
It makes you curious - āwhat happens when you apply the copper tapeā?
So you click to find out.
šØ Speed Things Up With ChatGPT:
Copy and paste the following into ChatGPT after filling in your niche and target audience:
Hi ChatGPT,
I'm a content creator in the [insert niche] niche and my target audience is [insert target audience]. I want to create content based on the following headline template:
"[Perform Quick Action] Like This And Thank Me/Us Later"
This template is modeled on the headline "Add Coffee Grounds To Your Soil Like This And Thank Me Later"
Please generate 10 headline ideas for my niche that follow this headline template closely, replacing only the bracketed terms. The content should cover specific topics relevant to the niche and should not be generic or broad.
Each Headline Should:
- Replace the bracketed term with an unusually specific description of a tangible action - a "hack". This should *NOT* describe the benefit or outcome, just the action that would lead to the benefit/outcome.
Example to illustrate this point:
INCORRECT: "Create A Natural Pest Barrier Like This And Thank Me Later"
CORRECT: "Apply Copper Tape Around Your Pots Like This And Thank Me Later"
- Not give everything away - *why* the action is being done (i.e. the benefit) should remain hidden and not in the headline.
- Under each headline idea, please very briefly explain what the actual action/solution is. They should be real and not ones you make up please.
