  • Questions - "Do you want to write good headlines ?"

  • Announcements - "New product writes your headlines"

  • Coaching - "How to write good headlines in 7 easy steps"

Step# 6- Write The Copy - Like A Master Storyteller.

Step #7 - Ask For "Most Desired Action"

Your "Most Desired Action" may be :

  • Getting the prospect to subscribe to a product.

  • Getting the sale.

Whatever it is, you must ask for it in clear explicit terms.
