TIP 1 - Demand attention with your title

It's so easy to have a page title that is simply the name of the product or service that you are trying to sell. This is a huge no-no!!! Yes, include the product name - especially if it's a household brand name - but never just the product name on its own.

Qualify them and tell them why they should read on

In many cases, the title is your once chance to capture your reader's attention, so you need to make the best use of it. It serves two functions. Firstly, it pre-qualifies the reader based upon their motives for being on your site in the first place. And then secondly, it's a promise of great things if they click through and read your full product sales page or review page.

Think about a title that is more descriptive, or even something that's more personal to you yourself - something that your blog readers could also possibly relate to. For example, "My first book 'The power of SEO' is now out!" instead of just 'The power of SEO'. Or maybe something like "Enjoy instant refreshment and nutrition with the XYZ PowerJuicer" instead of just "XYZ PowerJuicer".

What a great tutorial! This is going to help me as I have never been much of a salesperson. I enjoyed the tutorial and I took a lot of good notes that I believe I will be able to incorporate into my reviews on products. Thank you for taking the time to put this together!

Thanks Jim. You are very kind. Don't worry, these can all be implemented in good time. These are tips to give you a head start, over and above what the training offers here at WA - which of course is fantastic in itself. Good luck.

can you give an example of a subtitle that would stop a scroller/page scanner like you then? lol

Haha... That's a good question Mary. I should include an example shouldn't i.... I shall amend this. You could use something like "STOP PRESS:... ' or "If you read nothing else..." or "All you need to know about....." or "This is how XYZ helped Mrs L in the UK". That kind of thing. Something that at a glance will help me get the salient points immediately, for me to then be able to make a purchase decision.
