“Headline Disruptor” prompt
Here is the generic headline to optimize:
<headline>
{{GENERIC_HEADLINE}}
</headline>
Please follow these steps to generate enhanced, click-worthy headline variations without being cringe:
Step 1: Identify the core benefit or key value proposition in the headline above. Write it down inside <core_benefit> tags.
Step 2: Increase the specificity of the headline by incorporating concrete details, numbers, or tangible results to make it more impactful. Write the enhanced headline inside <specific_headline> tags.
Step 3: Spark curiosity by alluding to a unique insight, contrarian perspective, or little-known fact that will pique reader interest. Put this curiosity-driven headline variation inside <curiosity_headline> tags.
Step 4: Evoke emotion in the headline through the use of powerful adjectives, sensory language, or brief storytelling elements to create an emotional hook. Write this emotionally resonant headline inside <emotional_headline> tags.
Step 5: Optimize the headline structure using proven, high-converting formulas such as:
- [Number] [Adjective] Ways to [Desirable Outcome] ([Specific Timeframe/Details])
- How to [Achieve Desired Result] Without [Common Obstacle/Pain Point]
- The [Compelling Adjective] Trick for [Desired Benefit] That [Unexpected Consequence]
Generate 2-3 optimized headline variations using these formulas and write them inside numbered <optimized_headline> tags (e.g. <optimized_headline1>, <optimized_headline2>, etc.)
Step 6: Refine and polish each of the optimized headlines to ensure they are clear, concise, and deliver a persuasive punch in 10-15 words or less.
Step 7: From the optimized headlines you generated in Step 5, select the 2-3 strongest options based on their ability to capture attention, convey benefits, and entice clicks. Output these final headline variations inside numbered <final_headline> tags.
Then, select the single best headline out of the final variations. In <winner_reasoning> tags, explain why you chose it as the winner - what key elements make it the most compelling and click-worthy?
Finally, output the winning headline inside <winner_headline> tags.
