In writing
articles, each of the nine components leads you to the next component. In
practice, when you do the nine components from beginning to end in sequence it
will be very easy to follow every step of the way till its conclusion.
In time crafting your
marketing presentations will be become child’s play, just like painting by the
numbers.
A headline is
text at the top of a message, indicating the nature of the message below it. Its
key purpose is to promote a promise of a leading benefit for the reader.
Headlines in other
parts of the message are more commonly in ‘title case’. This term is also used
more broadly to refer to any aspect of using upper and lower case letters.
Headline conventions
include normally using present tense, omitting forms of the verb “to be” in
certain contexts, and removing short articles like "a" and "the".
A headline may also be
followed by a smaller secondary headline that gives a bit more information or a
subhead. Words chosen for headlines are often short, giving rise to headlinese,
a nonconversational language used in promotional headlines.
The superior writer
finds the center of your story, the beating heart. Starting up by making up some
headlines. Do you know what I mean? Create short, punchy, dramatic headlines.
Writing
Articles note: Occasionally, the need to keep headlines brief
leads to unintentional double meanings, if not double entendres.
A double
entendre is a figure of speech similar to the pun, in which a spoken phrase
can be understood in either of two ways. This can be as simple as a phrase,
which has two mutually exclusive meanings, and is thus a clever play on words.
Component seven is the
P.S. of a message and is intended to work as a way of pulling the reader back
into the meat of the message. In essence it is a way to get the reader to reread
parts of your message that you fell they need to remember or act upon right now.
Writing Articles
note: The P.S. is the second headline of the message. The more times a
reader reads your message, it refreshes their desire they had reading the
message the first time.
