Your promotional success could hinge on this one thing!
When I write book marketing copy for authors and coaches I get asked a lot of really intelligent questions about message development.

So, what is the most valuable real estate in your book marketing campaign?
Hands down, it’s your headlines. So you never want to waste this space.
What’s the key to maximizing the effectiveness of your headlines?
More often than not, the key is to keep your headlines simple.
Remember, the goal of your headline is to grab the attention of readers and motivate them to want to learn more about your book.
It isn’t any more complicated than this.
And, you don’t have to be crafty, cutesy, or clever to accomplish this goal. In fact, clear benefit-driven headlines often work best.
Here are just a few examples of proven, but simple headline types from which you can draw.
