Kevin,,,,WOW! This is an awesome tip. Thank you so much for sharing with me.
Hey Kevin,
I laugh so hard I can hardly record. You did awesome. That woman behind you was killing me. She just had to get in the video in case she got famous.
Don't you love recording videos at the store?
Awesome tips! I find the trashier the magazine, the better the headlines.
The other day I used this:
Inside Kari Baxter and Patty Bender's Double Webinar: Why Patty is trying to convince Kari To Use YouTube PPC!
Taken from:
Inside Jamie Lynn and Brittney Spear's Double Wedding: Why Brittney is trying to convince Jamie to get married the same day.
It's too much fun!
Thanks for sharing!

Yes the womens magazine shot was intriguing. When you think about it guys magazines are usually about sports and what's the selling point? I think your right on the drawing card with the womens magazines trying to unleash the hottest new product or revive the old one. Beauty, skin, makeup, hair, and fashion. "Why didn't they teach us guys about where the real money making businessess were in college".
As always thanks for the tip.

That guy in the back doesn't look too straight himself...
@Victor: Enough said, lol...
@Scott: You're absolutely right my friend, although there probably are a handful of men's magazines that would work- MAXIM magazine probably being the best bet- women and gossip type magz dominate by far!!!
@Kari: Love it! Anything with Britney Spears is almost guaranteed drama, right? haha..
@Ronald: Never a dull headline with this trick up your sleeve! : )
Thanks for the great info. I wish copy writing came easier to me...the darn missing link...
Copywriting Tips
Within this article today on copywriting tips, we'll look at how you can acquire more clients as well as improve your writing skills.
Improving these two skills will allow you to have a meteoric rise in the income that you bring in. Many copywriters are very strong in their profession but are not very good at procuring clients. If you are able to sell yourself to potential clients, you'll never find yourself short of work. The ability to sell yourself is what will set you apart from all the other freelance copywriters out there. You must make sure that you have a portfolio of your best work. Within this portfolio, you'll want to have a letter explaining your qualifications along with samples of your writing as well as testimonials from your previous jobs. If you are able to e-mail this to your potential clients, this will help set you apart. They can see the professional work you have done in the past as well as the client base that you currently work with. If you are able to reference Fortune 500 companies you have worked with, this will continue to improve your credibility. If you are just starting out in the copywriting field, delete the potential references and replace this with more work that you have done in the past. If you have worked for an advertising agency and are beginning to freelance, make sure to include some the work that you have done at the advertising agency.
Two possible ways that you can acquire clients are to post at different contracting websites such as elance.com or directfreelance.com. You can also research companies who you can potentially see if they need work. If you spend time reading the business section every day, cut out articles that might be within your particular field and keep them in a centralized location. This could be a potential source of leads for you depending upon how the companies are doing and if it is in a predicament where your skills may be needed

If you continue to develop your skills and write habitually every day, you'll find yourself becoming a better writer over the course of time. The key behind copywriting tips is that you must apply them.
You discovered my secret.
Our public library has a used book store to raise money and I go in and buy stacks of magazines for 10 cents each and analyze all the headlines, headers, articles and so on. Lots of great ideas! And I find I can easily convert a headline from say Cosmo, tweak it and have a story idea for a site about health or money.
Extremely interesting post thank you for writing it I have added your website to my bookmarks and will check back
By the way this is off subject but I really like your blogs layout.
One from the biggest problems or questions I suppose I have about this is just how practical it is? My greatest fear is how usable is this really for somebody else as in what worth does it actually add? Is this some thing that will probably be useful later in life or is it just gerat for entertainment purposes? One of the smarter things to complete is to do some of my own research to test the validity of the idea. Right? Occasionally I can be extremely unsure so that is why I ask. This might be could if the entertainment worth holds up long sufficient in the extremely least. I discovered it rather a unique and fascinating concept, again though, I'm not truly certain how others will respond to this. I dunno, I suppose that is me just being a cynic and all. Okay well I am done rambling, so I'll let you formulate your own thoughts from here lol. Im' outty.
Women's Magazines for Headline Ideas?! Brilliant. When posting an ezine article to provide expert advice about one's niche, you will find that Google will put your article in the top search-results if and only if, the headline directly applies to the search phrase or keyword phrase. But the headline has to be one that attracts attention at the same time.
This can be an easy thing to do. Just type in a keyword phrase and see how many search results it yields. Use headlines that get attention but also that use the keyword phrases that get good search results. Makes a lot of sense.
