How to write great headlines in
less than 30 days
Day 3:
Cut, Cut, Cut!
Whether you write long copy or short,
make each sentence, heck, each word sweat. In other words, each word should
justify its presence in your copy.
To explain what I mean, allow me to elaborate.
Imagine the idea for an airline copy in
the following sentence:
At the cost of Economy, Travel Business Class
That’s a mouthful, isn’t it? And a tad
crude, yes?
Now read the following line:
Kingfisher Airlines – Pay Economy, Fly Business
Class
Has it conveyed the sense of the idea?
I
would think so!
And how have I been in editing?
Ruthless, yes?
Have you had any luck in editing your copy? Do share
your experiences in the space below.
Until then, it’s me signing off.
Adieus!
