What is Copywriting? Let's Get On The Same Page

Before we jump into the first secret, let’s clarify what we mean by copywriting in this context. Copywriting is not just about writing—it’s about persuading. It refers exclusively to sales-driven content—words designed to encourage the right reader, viewer, or listener to take a specific action within the sales process.

​With that definition in mind, let’s explore the first and perhaps most vital secret to copywriting success…

Secret 1: It's All About The Headline

Your content is only effective if people read, watch, or listen to it. If your audience never engages with your content, it serves no real purpose. That’s why your first priority must be ensuring that the right people stop and pay attention.

​Unless you’re a celebrity whose name alone draws attention, you’ll need another method to capture your audience’s interest. The most powerful tool you have is your headline—your hook, your bait, the first thing people see before deciding whether to engage further.

Why Are Headlines So Important?

  • Five times more people read the headline than the full content. If your headline fails, your content will never be read, listened to or watched.
  • A great headline with average copy will always outperform a weak headline with great copy. If no one clicks or scrolls, even the best content is wasted.
  • Your headline must create an emotional connection - whether it's tapping into a fear, desire, or urgent need. If your audience feels something, they're more likely to engage.
  • Headlines should polarise your audience. You don't want to attract everyone  - you want to attract the right people and repel the wrong ones. This will increase the quality of engagement and reduce wasted effort and cost.

Small Call to Action Headline

Your headline must stop people in their tracks and make them eager to read further. It should:

✅ Speak directly to your target audience’s pain or pleasure points
✅ Be clear and compelling—no vague or generic wording
✅ Include power words that trigger emotion and curiosity
✅ Promise real value to the reader

​Think about it: we all scroll until something catches our attention. The first thing we see—the headline or title—determines whether we stop or keep moving. If you master the art of writing powerful headlines, you’ll dramatically increase the effectiveness of your content and sales copy.

What's Next?

In the next article, we’ll explore how to tailor your content to appeal directly to your ideal customer—and why focusing on the right people (rather than trying to reach everyone) is essential for successful sales copy.
