Is That My Butt?By Is that my butt? Now that's an interesting question. But to be perfectly honest I'm not concerned with my butt. Not your butt. Not any one's butt.But...It sure got your attention. Just like it got mine.
And that is the purpose of a killer headline.Let's start this story from the beginning:Here I am sitting at the doctors office. I'm waiting for mywife to get done with her check up. And "no", we are not expecting a baby, thank you.Anyway... Here I sit. Notebook in hand.
I brought it towrite some content for a new website. So I'm looking aroundjust waiting (hoping?) for the creative juices to start flowing.You know how it is waiting at the doctors office. I startedstaring at all those magazines. You know... All those womenmagazines.
No Hot Rod or anything interesting like that.And then I saw it. "Is That My Butt?". Right on the frontcover of Seventeen, April, 2002 Edition.Normally that's not the type of reading I'm into. But I couldn't resist. I just had to find out what the heck that question was all about.So yup, I walked clear across the waiting room just to seethat magazine.
The story was about jeans. No, I did not read it. But the headline worked. And it worked well!And that's what you need to do with your headlines. Grab their attention.
And to be really effective you should be a little creative. You've got a lot of competition out there so sometimes being completely of the wall is required. As long as you can make it fit. Some of the best headlines I've ever seen are at the supermarket check out. The tabloids.
Headlines like ThreeHeaded Martian Calls 97 Year old Grandmother from Outer Space.Yeah, it's silly. But people look. And then they see otherheadlines like 33 Year old Kansas School Teacher Reveals Life after 17 Divorces.That's a little more believable. And people want to know. Sothey buy.Here's four things you can put in your headlines to make them pull.Benefit How to make money.
Most of want to know how to make more. Don't you? If someone knows more about a subject than we do, we want to know. Nosey creatures, aren't we?Occupation What's the job of the person with all this knowledge? Is it an expert of some kind sharing their valuable secrets? Or some average Joe that stumbles on a unique idea.Geography Where do they live or where did this happen?Odd numbers Odd numbers make your headline more specific and believable.This type of headline works because people want to know about people. And they (we) want to know what other people know that can improve our lives.Shall we try one?Benefit: How to be debt free.Occupation: Financial Consultant Geography: FloridaOdd Numbers: 27, 527 year Financial Consultant from Florida Reveals How to Become Debt Free in 5 years or Less...That's something that people want to know. And that's a headline that gets attention, gets read, and makes sales.Have you heard of the pizza delivery guy and the truck driver selling their secrets to their success?Take a look at their headlines again.
You'll see this formula. It's not the only way. But it's a good way.After all, *Is That My Butt? 37 Year Old Maine Cop Tells How the Answer Can Increase Your Profit By 277%*? 2002, , All Rights Reserved.You may publish this article in your ezine and/orweb site as long as this resource box is left intact. is editor of Always Marketing and Editor's Column.Ezine and mlm newsletters for people that are serious about a home based business.

Get Dressed and Get Hired
Tying a tie properly may tie you to your next employer. A properly tied tie is essential to a good first impression. With the recent outcry regarding athletes wearing flip-flops to the White House, it's apparent that a review of socially acceptable fashion rules is needed.Gone are the days of Leave It To Beaver and other such shows which often depicted the strong leader of the family proudly donning a suit and tie for his daily job and any other social occasion. Today's impressionable society takes more cues from the Internet than from Nick at Nite.Formal Friday night dinners are a thing of the past and many churches have relaxed their dressing expectations, so it's possible that a young man could get through college without ever having to tie a tie. Even if they went to a formal dance they may have worn a clip-on bow tie.Many young men graduating from college don't get hired because of the way they present themselves.
They have a general disregard in how they dress for their...

How to Avoid Weight Gain During Chemotherapy
For Patsy M., the cancer was bad enough.Then came the chemo and her energy level took a dramatic tumble while her once trim figure ballooned. She tried watching what she ate. Cut down on portions. Nothing helped. The weight kept climbing.
When she asked her doctor she was told to exercise. It was the best answer to chemo weight-gain. This wasn't what she wanted to hear. She didn't feel like exercising. Some days it was all she could do to move from bed to couch.Then a friend told her about a neighbor who was going through chemo as if it was a Sunday school picnic.
She continued shopping, visiting friends AND EXERCISING. Claimed it had to do with taking some simple sugars called glyconutritionals. "Sounds like one of those whiz-bang miracle things, if you ask me," Patsy replied. "You see them advertised all the time and most of them don't have a stitch of healing in them." Her friend nodded, "I agree, except glyconutritional is a scientific name not a brand name. And my...

Top 10 Fashion Mistakes: What NOT to Wear
Image includes everything that is in your appearance ? not simply how well you put your makeup on and style your hair, and not just how expensive is your bag, but also how well you put all these things together. Sometimes a tiny flaw can ruin the carefully concocted look. Don't let that happen to you. Fashion Mistake #1. Skirt too skimpy.
The skirt should not rise up to mid-thigh when you sit down. If you have to pull it down constantly then maybe it is too short or too tight. Make it a rule of thumb to keep the skirt for daytime attires maximum an inch above the knee. Fashion Mistake #2. Silly, not cute.
Avoid frilly blouses when you don't party. It's a popular belief that a frilly blouse will make you look feminine and romantic; instead it makes you look unprofessional and frivolous. Choose a blouse in ivory or white ? it goes well with everything. Fashion Mistake #3. Bare legs in winter.
Leave it to chic Mahnattanites in Sex And The City to show off bare legs...
