Write enticing headlines with help from Cosmo

Writing headlines for your articles, press releases, blog posts and web copy can be a struggle.

But not if you let Cosmopoitan magazine be your guide. Here’s a quick lesson on how to “borrow” headlines from Cosmo and, with a little tweaking, turn them into headlines for whatever you’re writing.

    Great advice! This morning I was suffering from writer’s block as I tried to write some headlines for a website. I made a trip to my local library, went through a stack of magazines, and wrote down a few hundred headlines. Now, using these headline formulas, I’ve got a long list of good ideas for today’s project.

    Thank you.
