Examples

1. Blog Post: "Generate 10 headlines for a blog post about reducing SaaS churn. Target audience: SaaS founders. Current churn industry average: 5-7%."

1. Email Subject Lines: "Create 10 subject lines for our product launch email. Product: AI writing assistant. List: 25K content marketers. Goal: 35%+ open rate."

1. Social Media: "Generate headlines for a LinkedIn post about our company hitting $1M ARR in 12 months. Should inspire engagement without being braggy."

1. YouTube Video: "Create 10 title options for a video comparing 5 project management tools. Goal: high CTR in search results and suggested videos."

Guidelines

• Use numbers: "7 Ways to..." outperforms "Ways to..." by 36% on average
• Include a specific benefit or outcome the reader will get
• Create a curiosity gap: promise information without revealing it all in the headline
• Use power words: "proven," "essential," "surprising," "simple," "breakthrough"
• Negative angles often outperform positive: "Mistakes to Avoid" beats "Tips to Follow"
• Keep headlines under 60 characters for SEO, under 40 for mobile display
• Write at least 10 variations before choosing — your first idea is rarely your best
• Test 2-3 headlines whenever possible — small differences in headlines create large differences in engagement
