13 Attention-Grabbing Headlines


Your Facebook PPC headline is perhaps THE most important element of your ad, next to the image.

Your goal in writing your headline is threefold:

1. To grab people's attention initially (if the image doesn't)

2. To generate enough curiosity that they are enticed to read your ad copy, and

3. To summarize the key point of your ad copy, and convince them to click on the ad.

With just 25 characters to work with, you wouldn't think it would be that hard to write. But satisfying all 3 of the above goals in *just* 25 characters (or ideally, less)? Not always so easy.

I thought I would come up with a list of some attention-grabbing headline starters you can use as you brainstorm your own ad headlines. This is by no means exhaustive, but hopefully you will find a few that inspire you!
