Hi Joan,

I loved the examples that you used in the video.
I am going to try this technique when I write my articles. I appreciate the brevity of the video as well. Thank you for sharing.

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.
