Over the weekend, i attended a workshop by Internet Marketing guru and copywriter Jo Han Mok.

Again, Jo Han never failed to deliver.

One of the greatest takeaway from the workshop is Jo Han teaching on Headline.

He told us to swipe from other established and converting headline.

This is a quick and dirty way to write a winning headline, but it is also a highly efficient way.

One of the headline that come to my mind is John Caples's famous headline "They Laugh When I Sat Down At the Piano But When I Started to Play!--"

People always like to hear a good story. This headline starts by telling an intriguing story... a story of someone being humiliated.

Probably, the headline promotes a sense of curiousity in you.

Well, do not envy John Caples for having the inspiration to work out this headline.
