Copywriter’s Cheat Sheet: 100 Most Successful Headlines Of All Times

Do you really need these ‘used’ headline templates?

Hell yes!!!

Because the secret to great writing (especially writing successful headlines) is blatant and unrepentant theft.

When the likes of Shakespeares, Thomas Jeffersons, Oscar Wildes… plagiarized other writers, who the heck do you think you are?

Still believe that everything you write must be original?

Ok, then you’ll get very little done and the ever increasing pressure of being original all the time will finally give you a nervous breakdown or something.

And I don’t want that to happen.

But hey! I also don’t want you to violate copyrights or claim someone else’s work as your own.

I just want you to take a look at these templates, (you’ll instantly realize how powerful they are), try to tweak them and use them in your next blog posts, ads, or any other piece of copy you write.

Trust me, you’ll be amazed to see the results.

I’ve personally experienced it.

When I use one of these templates, my so-so post gets great response and when I try to craft an original headline from the deep-seated muscles of my mind, my best posts fall flat on their face.

Am I building up too much?

Ok, here are the 100 highly converting and highly successful headlines written by some topnotch copywriting gurus (towards the end, there’s a lesson you should walk away with – don’t miss it):
