100+ Secret Headline Formulas and Templates to Skyrocket Your CTR

Writing headlines is easy; writing great headlines is hard. Very hard. And if you want to squeeze the maximum ROI from your SEO, PPC and email marketing campaigns, you're going to need great headlines – or great headline formulas.

Whether you're writing a blog post title, crafting an email subject line or creating a Google Ads heading, if you don't get the headline right then all of those hours spent researching and creating your awesome content will be for nothing.

Why is it so hard to write great headlines? There are a number of reasons, but if I were to pick one it would be because naming things in general is hard. Couple that with a lack of space (particularly in PPC ads), and it's easy to understand why so many people get it so wrong.

Naming matters for both idealogical and practical reasons . . . we want names to exhibit truth and beauty: to be the right names . . but naming's importance is far more practical. Naming is communication.

Peter Hilton – Software Developer

Hilton was referring to naming things in software programs, but his insights apply to all types of names.

Anyone who has ever tried to name a child knows that naming is hard. But whether you're selecting a name for your child, a name for your business or a title for your next blog post or video, you're probably going to hit a roadblock at some point.

How headline formulas help you write better headlines

Everyone suffers from writer's block at some point – even the most talented and prolific writers.

Leo Tolstoy, author of the gargantuan War and Peace and Anna Karenina, famously suffered from severe bouts of writer's block and was unable to write for months and even years at a time.

Virginia Woolf, one of the most innovative and prolific writers of the 20th century, also suffered from the sometimes chronic and debilitating condition and was unable to write for prolonged periods.

And if Tolstoy and Woolf often found it hard to write, you can be sure that Joe Bloggs the small business owner has found it difficult to come up with content ideas and headlines at some point.

There are numerous psychological tricks you can employ to help get your creative juices flowing, but one of the most effective is to rework existing content. Staring at a blank page can be intimidating, but get something written down – anything – and you'll find things get much easier.

Headline formulas give you a framework to hang your own words and ideas on, a structure to help you formulate your own content. They're flexible and extremely powerful, and I use them all the time.

In fact, if you've read any of my other posts such as "101 Ways to Repurpose Your Content – Part 1" or "The Complete Guide to Optimising Your LinkedIn Profile", you probably won't have to look too hard to spot the headline formula.

In fact, this post makes use of one too!

Why not use an AI writer to create headlines?

Because they're shit, that's why. Expensive, overhyped shit.

Truth be told, I can't stand them. The content they spit out reads like a washing machine manual and is completely devoid of all humour and emotion. I wouldn't include AI-generated content in a greetings card.

However – and I can't believe I'm actually writing this – there may be times when a little prompting from a robot writer is just what you need. Getting started can be the most challenging aspect of creating content, so I guess if an AI writer helps you do that then they're not completely worthless to you.

Really though, if you use the headline formulas and templates in this article, you shouldn't need to use an AI writer to create great headlines for your blog posts, pay-per-click ads and emails.

Use them enough and writing headlines will become second nature – and you'll save yourself a small fortune.

How important is the headline?

If you want to know how important the headline is, ask John Caples (well, technically you can't because he died in 1990, but bear with me here).

Caples was one of the most successful copywriters who ever lived. A bona fide, certified sales machine, whose words were responsible for selling hundreds of millions of dollars worth of stuff. He wasn't some semi-talented wannabe writer like me; he was the real deal.

Caples believed that the headline was so important, so integral to the success (or failure) of a campaign, that he devoted 1/5 of his seminal work on advertising strategies, Tested Advertising Methods, exclusively to the art of writing headlines.

In the words of the great man himself:

The success of an entire advertising campaign may stand or fall on what is said in the headlines.

John Caples – Author of Tested Advertising Methods

Caples estimated that the headline can be responsible for 95% – or more – of the success of a marketing campaign.

Caples didn't just pull arbitrary numbers out of thin air to make himself look clever; he was probably one of the first copywriters to advocate a scientific approach to testing sales copy.

He wanted to know how to make his sales copy more successful, and he knew that in order to evaluate the effectiveness of his copy in quantifiable ways he would need to systematically test small changes to see which versions worked better.

Essentially, he was using conversion rate optimisation (CRO) methods like A/B split-testing, response tracking and audience testing decades before the term was even invented ("conversion rate optimisation" was coined in 2007). Heck, he was using CRO techniques to test his headlines more than 20 years before Sir Tim Berners-Lee – the founder of the internet – was even born.

In one experiment, Caples discovered the winning headline outperformed the worst-performing headline by 19 times. Not 19% more sales, but 19 times more sales! Now imagine if he hadn't done any testing and just used the weakest headline. If he had, I'd be writing about someone else.

Of course, Caples wasn't the only copywriter who knew how important headlines were. David Ogilvy, a British advertising tycoon and the founder of advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather, understood their importance only too well.

The headline is the 'ticket on the meat'. Use it to flag down readers who are prospects for the kind of product you are advertising.

David Ogilvy – Founder of Ogilvy & Mathers

The headline's only job is to get noticed and make your target prospect read the rest of the content or take the next step in the sales process.

It sounds simple, but in a world where your audience is overloaded with information and the average person is exposed to around 4,000-10,000 ads per day, writing headlines that stop people in their tracks is far from easy. But the headline formulas, templates and examples in this article will help you do just that.

Headline Formulas

The quickest and easiest way to create effective headlines is to use a headline formula. Period.

Sure, you can sit there wracking your brains trying to come up with an intriguing, compelling, funny, exciting headline that nobody has ever thought of before, but you'll be there for a while.

Or you can save your time and sanity by stealing one of the pretty awesome headline formulas listed below.

Every idea is a juxtaposition. That's it. A juxtaposition of existing concepts.

Steven Grant – Author of The Hardy Boys Casefiles

So what are headline formulas, and how do they work? I’m glad you asked.

Essentially, a headline formula is a collection of words and phrases arranged in such a way as to illicit an emotional response from the reader. Whether it's curiosity, excitement, surprise or shock, the end goal is the same: to make the reader want to engage with the content.

The best thing about headline formulas is that they make writing headlines much faster. In fact, once you get into the habit of using formulas to create your headlines you'll be able to produce compelling headlines pretty much on autopilot.

To use the formulas below, simply pick one and substitute the following values with your own words and phrases:

• [Words] – Substitute words and phrases in square brackets with your own.
• {Name} – Replace {Name} elements with a name – usually a person's name, but it could also be the name of a business, organisation, group or some other entity.
• {X} – Replace {X} elements with a number. Sometimes it might be worth experimenting by leaving out the number altogether, or replacing it with a word.
• {Year} – Replace {Year} elements with the correct year.

Headline templates

If the awesome headline formulas listed above haven't got your creative juices flowing – or you simply don't have time to tweak the formulas to suit your needs – the headline templates below might just do the trick.

To use them, simply fill in the blanks with your own keywords and topics. It doesn't get any quicker or easier than that.

For example, you could use headline template #7 to promote your free SEO ebook, like so: "You Too Can Improve Your SEO in Just 30 Minutes a Day With Our Free SEO Guide".

If you own a SaaS application that converts one type of content into another, then template #34 could be used to promote your service: "How to Turn Blog Posts Into Podcast Episodes in Just 30 Minutes".

If you sell homemade cakes, you could easily use template #73 to create the following headline: "What Makes Our Organic Cupcakes Taste So Good?"

Personally, I find headline templates a little too restrictive; I much prefer the flexibility that formulas provide. However, there's a certain appeal to just adding your chosen keywords into predefined spaces, and some people do find them psychologically easier to use.

The greatest headlines ever written

If the headline formulas and templates discussed previously haven't sparked your creativity, the following headlines certainly will.

These are some of the greatest headlines ever written, by some of the greatest copywriters who have ever lived. These guys could sell a glass of water to a drowning man, and their words are as powerful and resonant today as they were when they were first written.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and the world-class headlines in this list have generated hundreds of billions of dollars worth of sales over the years – probably more.

If you're struggling to come up with your own eyeball-sucking headlines from scratch, use one of these headlines as a starting point and build on it. The effect on your conversions could be spectacular.

The headlines are organised by copywriter and I've included a link to their website where possible.

Note: many of these headlines were written decades ago, and some of them could be construed as being sexist or discriminatory. I've included them purely because they've proven to be highly effective over the years, and they're easy to modify to suit your needs.
